Dinner was quite amazing. Oh, but let me digress a little.
I was making my new amazing raw cookies yesterday, using my old trusty food processor that I bought for about $30 at WalMart about 6 years ago. I had thought about upgrading for a while, but... it was still working. I could not just abandon my friend... Today I was happily munching on the cookie when I bit into a piece of plastic that came off the blade. It was time to upgrade!
Today, after a workout and a walk around the lake, Demetrye and I were enjoying the weather and...incidentally stopped by WalMart, where I found myself a new friend! I paid only $50 for it and could not wait to get home to try it. I know that many, especially the raw foodies, swear by Cusinart, but let me tell you--I tried it and I tried my new GE food processor and I would never spend $200 on a Cusinart processor. It has only two speeds, whereas my old trusty blender and my new GE have several settings, and the GE model has the ability to knead dough. I am in love!
So, armed with the new processor [mind you I ended up with three cuts while figuring it out], I shredded veggies to make more fermented veggies, and whipped up an amazing salad, all in a matter of minutes.
Red Cabbage Salad
But, that's not all! We also had dessert! Very simple and delicious.
Chocolate Cream Bananas
Peel and freeze 5 bananas for 1-2 hours
Blend until smooth. Pour over half-frozen bananas and enjoy this amazingly guiltless dessert.
I was full of energy all day long. The rest of the week is looking promising. Can't wait to play with my new toy more.
Don't miss tomorrow's post--the big reveal is coming up. On Tuesday, to celebrate the big reveal, I will be hosting another amazing giveaway.
