GUCAMOLE MOMENTS Sunday, April 11, 2010
My daughter and I have been having guacamole moments lately, and today we decided to make a dip of sorts. Here was the outcome:
2 ripe avocado's
2 large, ripe tomato's
1/2 red onion
1 Serrano pepper
1 Habanero pepper (BE CAREFUL WITH THIS, IT'S HOT)
1 sprig of fresh cilantro
3-4 cloves of fresh garlic
1 lime squeezed
Salt to taste
Throw all of the above into a bullet blender and in seconds, voila!
We had a cup of black beans, fresh cut-up veggies (radishes, carrots, broccoli) and some organic blue corn tortilla chips.
Indeed, the response was perfect... Our tongues curled, eyes watered, and our faces got hot!
TRY IT, YOU'LL LIKE IT, AND IT'S SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD FOR YOU!
ENJOY!

My relationship with cheesecake goes a long way back. I can’t put my finger on the exact moment I fell madly in love with cheesecake, but I was probably about knee-high to a grasshopper. The interesting thing about cheesecake is most people either love it or hate it, but admittedly, cheesecake has always had a rather polarizing affect on me.
Few desserts are more indulgent than a deliciously rich cheesecake. It’s the last thing you’d expect to find in a cookbook committed to healthy eating. It isn’t everyday that you can bite into a mouth-watering piece of cheesecake and walk away feeling nourished and not guilty for eating something so unhealthy. Generally, the aftermath is not so pleasant. You know the deal… You can feel the beginning of a sugar headache erupting, followed by unbelievable sluggishness demanding the sudden need for a nap no matter what the hour.
Today I had the privilege of experiencing a “Rockin’ Raspberry Cheesecake from Earth Café—the place where “food lives.” Privilege is probably an understatement, and not just because this cheesecake made my salivary glands burst with savor, but because Earth Café’s cheesecakes are not just “any” cheesecake. They are an invitation for indulgence, but have no side affects! These cheesecakes are 100% healthy, gluten-free, and made from the finest ingredients! It is so refreshing to enjoy a delectable dainty while nourishing your body!
Try them, you’re body will say, “Thank you!”
