Cooked Foods Extravaganza!

     OK, so my husband decided to try to completely detox himself of cooked foods for 2 weeks. Well as of Friday of last week those two weeks were up, so what happened this weekend? A Cooked Foods Extravaganza!!!!


     Friday night we started it off with a Bean Chalupa. I went to Earthfare and bought some Organic Fat Free refried beans, vegan sour cream, vegan shredded cheese, and Corn Tortillas. For the Corn Tortillas I went to the refrigerated section and bought the kind there because if you look at the ingredients all they contain is Corn, Water, and Lime. Seriously...I had some Whole Wheat tortillas in my fridge at home that I was going to use to make my 4 year old a cheesy roll-up but looked at the ingredient list and was appalled, so she had a corn quesadilla/mexican pizza :) I just couldn't bring myself to cook it for her. I mean if you start looking at the ingredients of food you eat every day it may surprise you to see what kind of crap you are eating! But these are super easy to make, just warm beans on stove. Then take tortillas and heat them in the oven. I placed a tortilla on the plate then spread beans over it, and topped it with our toppings. On the toppings, you can really pick whatever you want. Here is a picture of our creation:

     For Saturday night we had boring Spaghetti...but it was delicious as well. We just had noodles and sauce, but OHH so good. We also had some good friends over who we haven't seen in FOREVER to eat with us. It made the dinner more delicious as well :) I mean who doesn't like to spend time with their best friends????


     My husband has been wanting some granola to eat for breakfast. He is allergic to pecans, so its hard to find a raw granola in the store, and when we did find it, it was $4 a bar. So he would eat half at one sitting. Well this weekend we tried to make our own! It does have to dehydrate for around 36 hrs, so this took ALL WEEKEND....but it came out delicious! It has sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sun flower seeds, walnuts, cranberries, dates, and so much more!!!!

     Next weekend I think we are going to try to dehydrate some raw pancakes....We will see....After our Cooked Foods Extravaganza I'm hoping my husband doesn't feel deprived and can go on eating his raw Vegan foods just fine :)
