Thanks for the info!

Did you two ever try making that cheese made from nuts that was posted in here a long while ago?

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.

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
