Oh Baby, It's Wild!

Tonight's raw dinner was stuffed bell peppers with "cheezy" chips The power flavors for the meal were parsnips, wild rice and nutritional yeast (or brewer's yeast). This recipe is a HOME RUN! Because I had meat eaters at the table tonight, myself included, I also added cooked organic apple chicken sausage to the raw stuffing recipe.... they are on the left in the pic. It was funny to see how the meat darkened the entire dish since the only thing cooked was the meat. Funny! This one is FANTASTIC with or without meat and is a FitterTwit original!

Stuffed Bell Peppers

4 Bell peppers, tops and ribs removed
1 Cup organic wild rice soaked for three days (change water twice a day)
1 Cup grated cabbage
1/3 Cup diced parsnip (remove the brown outer skin so it will look like rice)
1/3 Cup chopped onion
1/3 Cup Chopped bell pepper
1/2 Cup chopped celery
2 cloves garlic pressed
2 Tbsp liquid aminos
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp raw organic apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp stone ground mustard
1 tsp. black pepper
1/2 Cup nutritional yeast (will act as a binder for the stuffing and will give it a wonderful "cheezy" flavor)
1 Cup chopped spinach (optional)

Set the four prepared bell peppers aside. Combine remaining ingredients to make stuffing and fill the prepared peppers. Serve. ** If the peppers to stuff are large, the recipe may need to be doubled.

Cheezy Chips (requires a food dehydrator)

6 Parsnips sliced thin using food processor or mandoline, be sure brown outer skin is removed
1/2 Cup raw organic apple cider vinegar
1/2 Cup liquid aminos
1/3 Cup nutritional yeast in a shallow bowl
Large storage bowl with lid

Combine vinegar and liquid aminos and sliced parsnips into the storage bowl. Be sure to stir so that each slice is covered in liquid. Attach lid and marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, shaking the sealed bowl after 10 minutes. Dip each slice into the yeast to coat both sides and place on dehydrator rack. Dehydrate for 10 hours at 105 degrees.

Food Saver Gold - Give Away!!

Sometimes I am just not a master of the obvious! Most of the time, pretty simple things elude me, but this time... Here is a VERY small sample of my stash (wow, that almost sounds illegal)! It was during one of my organizational rampages that I discovered this amazing and economical use after having to throw out bottles of polish that had gone unused for years. What a waste!!! And yes, I missed that particular use in the infomercial from way back when! :) NOW I know that when you hit sales on things like nail polish or shampoos, you can stock up and vacuum seal them and they stay just like brand new for when you're ready to use them. This is something that will free many polish lovers who fall in love with a specific color but cannot stock up for fear that the polish will dry up before they are through with the first bottle. Not anymore polish addicts and future polish addicts... here's your fix! I even did that with last years Halloween makeup! You know... the make up that you...

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...
