DELIVERING DELECTABLE DISHES DAY & NIGHT!

My immediate family has dealt with lactose intolerance, IBS, auto immune disorders and fatal cancer. From Fall '09-Summer 2010 I went from running 1/2 marathons to not being able to get out of bed, plagued with intense headaches, exhaustion and more. With my family history and my own immune system comprimised I was motivated to take a bit of a journey to better health. Slowly I've made considerable changes, (I'm not always 100% vigilant), but I know these changes have helped me return to better health...FOOD CHANGES: I cut out gluten, cut out most dairy, cut down on the "white stuff"-sugar, white rice & flour, decreased the amount of processed foods consumed, drink green smoothies regularly, eliminated red meat and eat more vegetarian and vegan dishes...just to name a few!

I use gluten free (GF) pasta and either a whole grain blend by Nalani Brown or a mix from Kathy Taylor for most bread, cake and cookie recipes-they are awesome! (If you like Kathy's mix, email me to order her cookbook at ishagirlclub@gmail.com.)

GF mix can be substituted straight across for regular flour if you aren't cooking gluten free!

Hope you enjoy!

Guacamole *

3-4 ripe Haas avocados (large ones) *
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 T fresh lime or lemon juice
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp chili flakes or 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper or chipotle pepper powder (optional)
1 medium roma tomato (optional)

*Best way to dice an avocado: Slice lengthwise, open and remove pit. Carefully score a grid pattern in the flesh with a knife and then scoop out the cubes with a large spoon(like a soup spoon).

combine all ingredients except tomatoes in a medium size bowl and mash with a fork, once desired consistency is attained add tomatoes.
