The TOO simple but needs PLENTY patience lentil soup.

Awaiting my favorite sexicano to achieve perfection on this recipe- but we are getting pretty close.

Split red lentils (1 cup) with 4.5 cups water. Before boiling, add plenty fresh cracked pepper and sea salt. Sauté white onion in EVOO, coriander and fresh black cracked pepper, add to soup after boiling and let simmer together.

45 minutes later… #nommers

Gluten-Free Vegan Avocado Pesto Pasta

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 10:25:45 -0500

Gluten-Free Vegan Avocado Pesto Pasta:

You can certainly make a raw rendition of this recipe - but since it’s for dinner this weekend, WHY NOT make it a gluten-free pasta dish. My only question: what’s for dessert :)

Nom Nom Vegan Dinners

Sat, 12 Jan 2013 15:41:45 -0500

So this whole, me being pesco-vegan thing, sort of bothers me. Just doesn’t sound right. But I’m not sure how giving up the occasional crab, oysters, shrimp & fish will do - but I find I’m weaning off of our sea friends slowly but surely. Maybe it is possible. Indeed it is.

Para din-din tonight, we have:

Thai Basil Eggplant (that I will make sweet)

EVOO, grated ginger, garlic, lemongrass, asian eggplant, kosher salt, mushrooms, onion, jalapeno and thai basil. Stir it up and cook that bad boy! And don’t forget to add some agave for some sweetness (even though agave & I are not currently speaking).

Quinoa & Avocado

I’m not sure where I would be without quinoa. Or avocado. Even simpler, this recipe calls for: quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, onion powder, garlic powder, limes & salt.

Peruvian yum yums

Sat, 08 Dec 2012 12:27:38 -0500

Inspired by the Peruvian Dish at MOM’s Naked Lunch, this is simply too easy to make. However, instead of rice, use QUINOA!

PS - Gee the Vitamix works wonders. Made for such a great dinner that night.

Peruvian Dish: Quinoa | Organic Black Beans | Red Onion are the base.

Add a little (which means a LOT) of chimichurri sauce which is: Little bit of cilantro, lots of parsley, EVOO, pepper, salt, juice of one fresh lemon, dried oregano flakes, cracked red pepper flakes, garlic, more garlic, and then some garlic, red wine vinegar and blend in the vita.

Black Bean Spicy Chorizos (yum)

Salmon | Quinoa | Zucchini

Sat, 08 Dec 2012 12:21:07 -0500

And so now that I’ve cleared things up, as far as me being a “pesca-vegan” if it is even possible…which HEY, if you can be a flexitarian, WHY NOT…ok, I digress… so here is my staple recipe every few weeks:

Salmon (Whole Foods) with EVOO or Coconut Oil, Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice, Capers or Dill or Thyme, Cracked Black Pepper, Himalayan Sea Salt, Organic Raw Agave, more Cracked Black Pepper

Zucchini sliced in tiny pieces with EVOO and Sea Salt

Quinoa cooked in vegetable (vegan) broth with tumeric

Pesca-Vegan :/

Sat, 08 Dec 2012 12:17:20 -0500

It’s exactly what it sounds like. I don’t eat any meat or dairy (animal) products, besides those that swim in the sea. Not sure if these two words even belong together, however… it’s the only way I can identify myself in terms of my eating lifestyle. Raw pesca vegan.

I’d always heard rumors of people making their own almond milk but I assumed it was a super difficult process. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally built up the courage to make it. It’s really easy, and oddly fun.

To make Raw Almond Milk:

What you’ll need:

1 cup raw almonds

2-3 cups of water

vanilla extract (optional)

blender

cheesecloth/muslin/pantyhose

What you’ll need to do:

Combine almonds and water. Let sit overnight. Blend together and pour into a jar lined with cheesecloth/muslin/pantyhose. Let this separate the milk from the leftover almond chunks. Make sure to give the cloth a good squeeze when you’re done to get as much out as you can. Refrigerate and enjoy!

Yum.

therealpitbull:

This is Tank, today him and I went to the pet store to pick up some new toys and some dog food, while we were waiting in line, a little boy asked if it was okay for him to pet Tank, I told him it was. Tank was sitting quietly on he floor next to my feet waiting for me to pay, before the boy could even reach his arm out to pet him, and older woman, I presume it was his grandma, yanked him away and pulled him about 10ft back from where we were standing. She then began to tell the boy, loud enough for me to hear, how vicious my dog probably was, and how he would probably bite the little boy because of his “type.” I have never been so disgusted, the woman continued to talk about how “mean” my dog probably was. I couldn’t get out of the store soon enough. Especially when other children had just been petting and the old lady saw that. I don’t understand how people can be so ignorant and rude.

I completely understand and go through the same thing. I actually just posted a story very similar to this on my page. Keep bringing him out for people to see what a beautiful, compassion, intelligent, loyal and SAFE dog that he is and that most Pitbulls are!

Ridiculous. That just made my heart drop, too.

Raw Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake

Sat, 10 Nov 2012 00:13:16 -0500

Raw Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake:

Made this for a close friend’s baby shower last weekend. Messed up a few things (mixed the wrong nuts at the wrong time) so it would have been MUCH better. However, after getting enough pieces for those open to trying it, I turned around 5 minutes later and found the whole presentation pan down to one crushed walnut. Mission accomplished.

Quinoa & Black Bean Concoction

Sat, 10 Nov 2012 00:10:54 -0500

Originally, this was supposed to be quinoa & black bean bibb lettuce wraps.

However, upon sitting down getting ready to indulge, we opted for sans bibb lettuce wraps.

And the recipe:

Red Pepper (Careful, currently $5.99 a lb for Organic)

Red Onion

Black Beans

Sea Salt, Black Pepper

Tabasco Habanero (To Taste)

Quinoa

Salsa (For fresh made, use tomatoes, green onion, plenty of cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, more hot sauce, garlic powder, sea salt & black pepper and process)

Yes, corn isn’t exactly the best for you - and obviously not in good season right now, so I found a can of organic, non-gmo, no salt added corn to add to the mix. I have a weird obsession with corn, but if you can do without, it’s just as good.

Mix all together, and bam! Quinoa & Black Bean.
