What's for Dinner??

[Fresherson19]

Hi All, Hope everyone's weekend has been great, I was just wondering what everyone was having for dinner.
I am planning a salad with romaine, tomatoes, cucumbers, red peppers, pear, and fresh basil. Banana and strawberry smoothie for dessert.
Sounds good to me!

Hey Fresherson19 - your dinner sounds good, however, I would do the smoothie first, wait a bit (20 minutes or so), then do the rest. But that's just me. I eat my fruits first; for digestive purposes. I've read if you eat a meal, although yours is salad, so maybe it wouldn't, but if you eat a meal, then fruits, that's what can cause (some folks) an upset stomach, gas or other ugly bodily functions.
Me? Dinner? I'm gonna "heat up" (in the 'hydrator) a slice of Alissa's Calzone that I made yesterday. It IS good!
So what's everyone else having?

I'm thinking lunch tomorrow with a new friend, first time meet tomorrow at my house. Since she hates to cook I emailed her and told her she doesn't have too. I was promoting living foods. Right now I got pizza crust making. the same recipe I use for crackers. It's a flax pizza/cracker crust. I plan on putting my marinara on fresh, then top with veggies and calling it pizza. Also a raw soup, like avocado basil perhaps, fresh salad with dressing, and perhaps banana/nut lemon cookies dehyudrated or even RP's brownies. Want this person to be a friend, so hoping I gain one vs. losing one. She hates onions so respecting that wish.

I made Allissa's Pesto Pasta and used shredded daikon radish for the pasta (I saw Victoria Boutenko do that on a DVD - use daikon radish, maybe it was turnip tho?) Anyway, it was very zesty and yummy!

I think fresherson can have the salad first as long as there are no added fats in the dressing! Because all of her "veggies" are really fruit if you know what I mean :) Carrots and broccoli in the salad and I would say the smoothie should be first!

borscht with beets, carrots, half a red onion, garlic, ginger, orange juice and other yummies whipped up in the blender and then topped with wild mustard greens and olives... yum!

Pest stuffed mushrooms with mashed potatoes and gravy (all from Alissa's book)...Very Good

I was out all day so I didn't get much from 12-7 and therefore when we did get home I had:::

(bananas-turnip greens) Green Smoothie
and a romaine and tomato salad.

yum yum :)

Dinner was zuchinni pasta with pesto, tomatoes and kalamata olives and a big salad.

mmmmm You have all given me some delicious ideas, no way I can be bored now!
Thanks for the info on what to eat first, I didn't know that it made a difference.

Oh yeah. I agree. I just mentioned that for those that don't realize that eating fruit first is important. ;)

In the afternoon (after walking around trying to find the meetup, hungry though carrying food, I went to the office and called): Chocolate nut blueberry smoothie and salads.
In the evening: Pineapple and frozen fruit smoothie. Then I finished the salad while working.

I enjoyed some stuffed yellow peppers with jalepeno and avocado pine nut filling warmed in the dehydrator and a nice salad with lemon mint dressing and some Kim Chee. A fanatastis fudggie cookie with almond butter for dessert.


Stuffed Peppers:

1 avo
1c pine nuts
2 jalapenos
2 cloves garlic
2T apple cider vinegar
salt
6 dates

blend in processor and full in pepper halves. dehydrate for 5-8 hrs so, so delicious and filing.

I haven't "made" anything for myself all weekend. (other than a few salads) I've only had a lot of fresh fruits. So, this morning I was up at 5 am making the pizza crust for dinner tonight. I'm soaking everything else for the cheese and sauce and can't wait to eat that tonight. But in between I plan on some pea soup for lunch...and some stuffed mushroom caps for a late snack to tide me over. Yummmmmm. I love when I actually take the time to feed myself so good! I told my husband, this week, I'm planning wayyyyyyyyyy far ahead and lining up my deydrated treats for the weekend. So, then I can slap them together. It's easier that way. ;)
