Spring= Yummy Raw Salads and KOMBUCHA!!!!



We have survived the winter! I know this officially because yesterday I spent the morning riding my bike to see the wild Monk Parrots of Brooklyn (in a t-shirt and shorts), lounging in Prospect Park eating a pumpernickel bagel from Terrace Bagels in Park Slope...they said they were the best, and their good but not the best pumpernickel bagel I have ever had...

***my friend told me you cant judge a place by its pumpernickel, but that's the only kind I like so I think its fair grounds.. and if you were wondering I think Bob's on University and even Ray's does a good pumpernickel***

But then I sat on my roof sunbathing and reading and getting hungry!!!

A Raw Cabbage Carrot and Onion Salad with lemonjuice, vinegar, oliveoil, tamari, pepper, paprika, and a touch of maple syrup(not raw)


this is the developing scooby

kombucha! our continuous brew has begun!

We are using Pu-erh, a black earthy tea and a culture that we were given from our good friend Audrey! Its not ready, but maybe in a week!

More avacado...

I am loving avocado's this week. I can't get enough. Instead of dinner last night, we opted for just freshly made guacamole and tortilla chips. We needed to have room for the avocado chocolate cake below, of course.

My simple recipe for guacamole is:

2 avocado's squished with a fork
freshly grated salt to taste
a small squeeze of lemon juice
Sriracha HOT chili Sauce to taste*

My daughter wanted to add all kinds of stuff but sometimes less is more. This stuff is the bomb.

* Sriracha Hot chili sauce is a new ingredient for me. It was in Bon Appetite recently as the secret ingredient every kitchen must have. How did I live without?? it?
