Jason has been wanting Pad Thai for a very long time. I asked him to pick out what I was going to make tonight and of course he picked Pad Thai. I decided to do the sauce. I wanted to do the glaze and then do the veggies tomorrow, but I didn’t have all the ingredients. We both will have have this beautiful meal tomorrow. I hope it is as good as the Present Moment’s Pad Thai. Whenever we go to St. Augustine, he orders their Pad Thai, and of course I share it with him.
Pad Thai Sauce Ingredients
sesame seeds
sesame oil
dried red pepper flakes
sun-dried tomatoes
roma tomatoes
rice wine vinegar
apple cider vinegar
sea salt
All ingredients went into vitamix. It was Yummy of course.
Today was a great day, I went to see Susan and have Reiki. I really needed it. My mind has been racing too much and I have been feeling overwhelmed. I don’t know how that is, considering that I am not working 40 hours a week. I think it because I actually have had solitude and not so much to do. It’s a great thing, because I have been spending more time in the Word. Romans applies to so much of what is going on in my Spiritual Journey. Romans 14.
I made another batch of chili tonight. We both ate it the last batch. Christian tried it this morning and I took some to friends. Those of you who are familiar with Cincinnati Chili will probably like this idea. I put the chili over zuke spaghetti noodles. Oh my gosh, it was so delicious and very filling! I was going to have it for dinner but I couldn’t wait. This will be one of my new staple for a while.
I am going to watch the new series V tonight on ABC. I don’t know if it will be good, but I saw the commercial at the gym and I thought I might check it out. Hope it is not too adult oriented, we are all going to sit down and watch it together. We haven’t done this for so long. It’s such a blessing to all be together! Even if the show is a flop, I will still enjoy it! Good night!
19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother to fall. Romans 14:19-21

What a way to celebrate my 100th day of doing this project. I made the best chili ever! I am shocked that this resembles chili so much that if I didn’t make it myself, I would think it was cooked. The texture and flavors were outstanding. Jason and I both had two bowls of chili. We both kept looking at each other and were amazed by the flavor. We both kept saying, “I swear this tastes cooked!” This meal is by far the best yet! I could eat it everyday or every other. It is a quick hardy meal. I would say that the “meat” substitute is the carrots and almonds. If you read this blog you really should try to make this!
Chili Ingredients
1 portobello mushrooms, finely chopped
1/2 cup minced celery (I didn’t have any)
1/2 cup red onion (I only had yellow)
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 cup almond, soaked 4-6 hours (I used soaked and dehydrated)
1 cup chopped carrots
Vitamix sauce
1 1/2 cups sun-dried tomatoes, soaked
2 cups water, fresh or from tomatoes soaking liquid
1 T olive oil
1/4 cup nama shoyu (Braggs Liquid Aminos)
1 clove garlic
2 T fresh oregano (I omitted)
1 T dry oregano (I was out of this)
2 t chili powder
1 T cumin
1 T apple cider vinegar
1 T agave
1/4 t cayenne
I pulsed the carrots and almonds in the food processor first. Then added it to the mushrooms, red peppers and onion. I used this “LOVE”ly red bell pepper. A beautiful sign of God’s LOVE!
The remaining ingredients went into the vitamix until smooth. I poured the sauce, stirred it up then it was done!
Final Product. Trust me it is 1000x better than the picture shows:)
Excellent way to celebrate the 100th day! I can’t believe it’s already 100 days of recipes. This is really the most fun I have ever had in the kitchen at my house!

Tonight I made the vegetables for the Savory Crepes. I can’t get over how good the lemon-thyme yogurt is. This morning Sebastian woke up and made me a vegetable plate. He cut up carrots and cauliflower. He is so sweet. So tonight when I got home, I ate the carrots and cauliflower with the yogurt. It was so delicious. I needed something fresh and delicious and made with love<3
Ingredients
spinach olive oil
sea salt
chopped tomatoes
portobello mushrooms
red onion
apple cider vinegar
The recipe calls for the dehydration to be done before serving. Tomorrow I will dehydrate them and then have the meal with all the ingredients put together. I will let you know how it is.
Tonight I had a left over goji berry souffle. It was the most incredible dessert I have had in a long time. It was so creamy, I couldn’t believe how delicious it was. I had it in the freezer and I let it sit out for about 45 minutes. Perfect, absolutely perfect. I really didn’t think it would be that good, goji berries are not so tasty when you eat them by themselves. I like them with mulberries and cashews, and a bit of cacao nibs. But this dessert was divine.
I am so tired, I am off to bed. It was my first day back to work. I am going to try it one day a week and see how that goes. I can’t just sit home, it drives me crazy. It was a long day, but rewarding:) I am blessed to have the opportunity to enjoy working with God’s marvelous food.
