A Home Cooked (and uncooked) Meal

It's interesting how life has changed from two years ago. Saturday night I had and great whole foods plant based meal prepared with organic ingredients. It was absolutely delicious. It started out with a salad. Everything was fresh organic veggies and fruit. Two years ago, I wouldn't have considered such a meal...

Salad:
Spiraled zucchini and carrots
Vegan rice (cauliflower)

Cashew Curry Dressing:
Soaked cashews
Curry powder
Clove of garlic
Himalayan Salt
Agave Syrup

I also had veggie fajitas. After steaming the veggies, I simply poured the sauce that had been warmed on top of the steamer over the veggies.:

Steamed veggies:
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Crimini mushrooms
Red Onion
Serrano peppers
Red and yellow sweet peppers

Veggie Sauce:
Fresh tomato juice
Sesame seed oil
Cumin
Turmeric
Himalayan salt
Cracked pepper

The sales and guacamole was also made from scratch:

Guacamole:
Avocado
Tomato
Red Onion
Cilantro
Lime juice
Serrano pepper
Himalayan salt

Salsa:
Serano and poblano peppers
Tomatilla
Tomatos
Lime juice
Cilantro
Cumin
Garlic clove
Himalayan salt
Red Onion

Add all of this to some organic corn tortillas and you get an extremely healthy meal! The only ingredient that is acid forming is the corn tortillas. Otherwise, it's all alkaline forming, Who would have known you can eat healthy and delicious :)

For those with Crohn's or colitis, the onion and garlic can create inflammation; and the Serrano and jalapeno peppers, and tomatoes are irritants; so this is only for those in remission.
