So glad it is Friday and the sun is shining! What are your plans for the weekend? I am going to do a 5K race on Saturday morning, a long run on Sunday and hopefully get some veggies planted. I also ordered Food, Inc. from my netflix and am looking forward to watching it.
The other day I was checking out Heather's blog (Sweetly Raw) and she had a yummy recipe for fajitas. They looked so good, I got them started that day. I used sliced baby bella mushrooms, an orange bell pepper and a sweet yellow onion. I soaked them in Heather's marinade over night and the veggies softened just enough that I did not need to dehydrate them. They are so good.

I have never made raw "rice" before with cauli. Here's the thing, my hubs and child hate cauli. They are 99% with me on all veggies, but that's one they dont like. I think it's the cabbage smell and for skylar, it's texture too. Does making it into "rice" like this at all help with that do you think? Is it really rice-like? i.e. spiralized zuke noodle pasta really to me IS like pasta..
ReplyDeletesorry for all the questions but i really want to try my hand at this..great job!
These recipes are perfect for Cinco De Mayo. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI almost forget. Good luck running your 5K :-)
ReplyDeleteYummmy! They look great, as does your spanish rice! I will have try that - will prob do it with parsnip since I admit to not being a fan of cauliflower. Have you tried parsnip rice? Its soooo good, and a bit sweet!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shannon!
