Sorry I disappeared on you guys for a few days. Things are incredibly hectic at the moment but in a good way. Fingers crossed! However there is a lot of research to be done in a short period of time. I have been cooking a little but haven’t had time to document it let alone run nutrition numbers. I am hoping things will we back to normal sooner rather than later. You should know we have some things going on here that will result in my being mostly off line for about a week or so. But I will warn you before that happens.
Today has been busy again, but a little better than the last few days. I wanted to post dinner from last night, but as a method rather than a recipe. This is one of those things I make when I need a quick nutritious meal.
I water sauté onion and garlic and add a diced chipotle pepper, quartered crimini mushrooms, black beans and diced red bell pepper. Next add cumin, chili powder and cayenne to taste. I use this to top sweet potatoes that I cooked in the microwave. Next I topped the dish with fresh diced grape tomatoes, cilantro and squeeze of lime. I also added some avocado on the side to cool the heat from the chipotle and cayenne. If you need a quick meal this one can be ready in less than 10 minutes. Sometimes I need things that are no fuss like this. If you had tofu or cashew sour cream in the refrigerator that would also be great on top this.
Unrelated note:
My wheat grass seems to be doing well growing inside. There are many little shoots sprouting. It is too soon to call the project a success but I am definitely more hopeful than when I started. As soon as we have our first crop I will write a post on specifically how it is done and whether it is worth doing.
I need to get back to my research and also get my exercise in. But I hope to have more time this afternoon to make a proper dinner and post a recipe. That is my plan at the moment. Wish me luck. Cooking is something I find very therapeutic so I need a little kitchen time to help me get centered.
I hope you are all having a wonderful day. The skies are beautiful and blue here with hardly a cloud. I am going to try to spend a little time outside today. Talk to you again soon.
That looks so good! I knew you'd come up with something fabulous.
ReplyDeleteHeather,
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have been a little unfocused but somehow pull it together once I get in the kitchen. I suppose that is where I am most comfortable.
talk to you soon,
Alicia
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your blog. As someone tryign to incorporate more vegan & raw foods into our diet, it's great to find such great recipes & methods. Most of the raw cookbooks I've found have been so fancy I wonder if I'd ever make any of that stuff! :-)
ReplyDeleteNeca,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words. I am glad I can help. :-)
I have had the same issues with many raw cookbooks so I understand completely what you mean. I started my favorite raw bread a little while ago (broccoli and onion) and was just writing that post when your comment came in. I think you will like this one. It is easy (I did measure this time) and very healthy. I should have it posted later today.
thanks again for your kinds words,
Alicia
Simple, healthy and delicious, couldn't ask for anything more!
ReplyDeleteGot my fingers crossed for whatever exciting thing you have going on :)
Good luck with whatever's going on! No need to apologize--there is life outside of blogs, after all ;)
ReplyDeleteJanet,
ReplyDeleteThanks we can use all positive thoughts we can get. I hope things will return to normal around here soon.
talk to you later,
Alicia
Ricki,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder. I was in a groove posting everyday and then hit a wall. Things should be back to normal soon. Thanks for the well wishes, I appreciate it.
Alicia
Looks delish, as always, Alicia! And whatever is going on sounds like it might be very exciting...I wish you the best of luck!
