Easy dinner tonight!

[Cinnamon]

Just wanted to share what I made for dinner tonight, really easy and very filling as I came home so hungry!

I'd made a batch of Alissa's Nacho Cheeze (which I LOVE!) so that was already waiting for me in the fridge. Then I made a corn/guacamole with corn, avocado, cherry tomatoes, garlic and squeezed an orange over the top.

On romaine lettuce leaves (and I used the tiny tender ones in the middle of the head) I layered the Cheeze and then the corn/guacamole. If you like sprouts that would also make a nice addition. It was soooo good!

I guess since it was cold and rainy today I wanted to have a heavier meal, now I'm off to have a piece of Date-Nut Torte with lots of berries on top. Yum! That Date-Nut Torte has quickly become my comfort food!

Rainy today??? It was beautiful here in Sequim!!!


Sounds yummy, I have looked at that recipe but it sounds intimidating to me, so I skip over it. I have been craving salsa alot lately, so maybe I should try those nachos...
I made the pineapple cake this weekend and was so disappointed, I had to throw the whole thing away. I think it was the buckwheat that just didn't taste right to me in a cake. So it is always so nice to hear when one makes a delicious meal that they enjoy!! Good for you:)

The date nut torte is my favorite!!!! YUM!!! That is what I should get up and do,, make a yummy dessert!
Oh, it is soooooooooo simple yet so wonderful, the banana ice cream. I have been making that the last couple of days and my children even love it.

Oh yes, banana ice cream is most certainly a favorite of mine too! That is too bad the pineapple cake didn't turn out, I haven't tried it.

It is always nice and sunny and warm in Sequim isn't it! I remember living in Port Angeles years ago and I couldn't believe the difference in weather from Seattle, what a lovely city of the state you live in! Enjoy that sunshine extra for me!

Oh YES -- banana ice cream! I keep frozen banana pieces in my freezer all the time and it's so wonderful to be able to whiz up a big bowlful of banana ice cream instantly when the ice cream cravings hit. My fave is to add a good tablespoonful of agave syrup or honey and some chopped walnuts or pecans -- to die for!

About to have a burger on a crisp lettuce leaf heaped with avocado, tomato, onion and mayo for my lunch...

Lily, did you dehydrate the nacho cheese first? I was thinking of making the nachos from Alissa's book.

Hi tvillemome, it was Cinnamon, not me, who did the nacho cheese! I hven't attempted any of the cheeses yet -- have been eating my burgers 'cheeseless' !

I too would be interested to know more about the nacho cheese, Cinnamon -- is it really cheesy-tasting?

[Cinnamon]

It is cheesy tasting, I really do enjoy it a lot and my non-raw family love it as a dip too. I haven't tried dehydrating it but I've read some where on this site that someone using a recipe similar to this one did and it turned out great. They spread it out in little rounds and after it dried a bit (don't know how long this would take) they put it on celery and said it was oh so good!

[lily]

That certainly sounds like one to try! Thanks, Cinnamon.

The nacho cheese does taste very good, though if you have a problem with high fat stuff I'd really suggest it in moderation. :D Oh my I had it on the broccoli n cheese and unfortunately it tasted so good and I got sooooo sick *lol* I've also found that if I sub some of the nuts for sunflower seeds I do better with handling the fat as well.
