Ya know, I have to admit...the recipe intimidates me a bit. Is it hard? I am hoping I am just being a big lazy baby because I would love to make cashew cheese... it sounds so good!!!

I haven't tried it, I just haven't been brave enough, yet...If you beat me to it, I hope you share your results!

Here's the original post, in case others are looking for it...

I just had a stellar lunch!

I started out with some of the Quinoa and Black Beans that I usually have stocked in the freezer and topped it with a very generous amount of fresh tomato salsa. Normally, that is where it stops and I love it like that. Right now where I am the avocados are just amazing, so I thought it would be good with this. Adding half of a ripe avocado cubed up was just the perfect idea! I ate it so quick, I forgot to take a picture of it, you'll have to imagine based on the recipe pic...

About two weeks ago I had a very bad "episode" ...I'll call it.
I actually ended up in the ER. Anyway, I'm better now but this episode caused me to re-think my choices. Later that day, once safely home, I made a monumental change. I went through my cupboards and tossed anything that could remotely be considered crap. I also cut out almost all animal products. I'm still eating some salmon, but I am now eating very clean. The changes in how I feel, even after such a short time, have been amazing. Extraordinary even. I'm happy to be subscribing here and I look forward to reading all about your experiences.

I figured this might be the place to ask; has anyone heard of or done seasoning of a stainless steel pan?

I am going to replace my non-stick skillets with stainless and ran across this video:

I had never heard of it, it seems almost too good to be true. Thoughts? Opinions?

Kelt, would you mind posting your recipe for the fresh tomato salsa?

I am chagrined to admit that the stuff I used today was purchased. The store where I buy my bulk staples makes it on site.

However, that is a ways off so when I don't have that, I make this:

Tomato Salsa

2 tomatoes chopped
1/4 C minced red onion
1/2-1 jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
1-2 tbsp fresh lime juice
2-4 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Kosher salt to taste

All amounts can vary to suit taste

I just realized that the vid I posted above ends with her testing eggs in it.

I know some vegetarians eat eggs. In any case, I wanted to put this disclaimer in and hope I haven't offended anyone with that inclusion.

nycfem · 05-09-2013, 08:41 PM

This thread is vegetarian and vegan inclusive so all is good, Kelt!

And, of course, on an additional note, no one has to be vegetarian or vegan to post. As long as a post is veg friendly, it's all good

Made this and loved it. Tripled the garlic though.

Veggie Lovers,

Today's dinner: Organic, mostly...

jasmine rice boiled in coconut milk and H20 - an experiment, a bit sticky but tasty

adzuki beans cooked in sauteed garlic, onions, peanut oil, crushed peanuts, a bit of sea salt,
and crushed tomatoes, spinach, still cooking...looking forward to
see how it works, another experiment.

portabello mushroom cap pizzas:

clean out a giant mushroom cap (stem and gills)
brush gently with olive oil
fill cap with sauce (spaghetti/pasta/marinara- whatever you like)
top with cheese
or whatever toppings

place on a cookie sheet, or pan lines with aluminum foil (easy clean up) under the broiler for about maybe 10 minutes, until cheese has a nice crust and is bubbly

Greco · 07-13-2013, 03:51 PM

Farmer's Market pick-ups:

for dinner a salad of heirloom tomato slice to medium wedges, a blond cucumber(that's what they called it looks like a very light green cucumber), and green scallions a bit of sea salt, ground pepper, and extra virgin olive oil...delicious folks, delicious light and all organic.

and my green smoothie, well had that this morning after my beach run...great day...meeting some warm, and friendly folks...really I should get out more...smiling.

Oh boy, this sounds delicious!

I am definitely trying this idea!

I might try adding the other toppings we like.
