October 22, 2009
I know that it seems strange that I am writing 2 days on one entry, but the truth is we were getting our computer fixed. Now it is running so much faster. I don’t have to wait minutes to get information or load photos, or websites. It’s great! Thank you Paul!
I made wild mushrooms on October 21, 2009.
Wild Mushrooms Ingredients
portobello mushrooms
cremini mushrooms
extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
rosemary and thyme
Risotto Ingredients
4 cups peeled jicama
1 1/2 cups peeled pumpkin
3 T extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup cashews, soaked
6 T water
3/4 t sea salt
1 1/2 t agave
2 T fresh sage
Tonight I made Risotto. Jason and I went for a bike ride today to the gym and on our way home we stopped and got a small pumpkin and jicama for this beautiful meal. It is warming in the dehydrator now.
I made the risotto in the dehydrator and the sauce in the vitamix. The sauce tasted so much like comfort food in the autumn, with the creamy sauce and pumpkin mixture. I am hoping to make raw pumpkin ice cream sweetened with stevia. I will make it tomorrow. I am not sure if I will just make it in the vitamix or if I will make it in the ice cream maker. I have always loved pumpkin ice cream so to have it raw, will be amazing!
It has been a very challenging day for me. My last day at Rutabaga’s was yesterday. My husband and I decided that it is better for us if I stay at home for a while. He is very overwhelmed with homework and school. Some days I would have to leave early to work and he would have to get the boys ready for school after staying up half the night studying. He is such a great husband he also cleans the house too. I felt like it was time for me to stay home and take some of the burdens off of him. I don’t know where God will take me from here, but I know that we will be blessed. I will miss Rutabaga’s. It taught me so much about myself, life, friends and most of all the meaning of LOVE.
Oh goody the meal is done. Jason and I are going to try it now. I am sure it will be delicious.
YUMMY! I am so glad I made alot of it. I will definitely eat this during the week. It is sweet but just enough. I think it could even be a dessert or a meal. Delicious. Bravo!
