Morro Bay Farmers Market

Morro Bay Farmers Market Goodies
People ask us what we eat since we decided to quit eating all animal products.  Here's a nice example: today's treasures from the local farmers market here in Morro Bay.  This includes heirloom varieties of carrots, tomatoes and summer squash, plus beets, Russian kale, cilantro, asparagus, purslane, celery, green onions, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and a really cool looking cruciferous vegetable called Romanesco broccoli.  There's a Fibonacci sequence in every bite!

We'll post later on what we do with these great treasures!

Vegan Parmesan "Cheese"

Vegan Parmesan "Cheese"

This is an easy way to enjoy a "cheesy" sprinkle on your pasta dishes.  This contains sesame seeds so it does have fat in it (2 teaspoons has about 21 calories and 1.4 grams of fat).  This recipe and others like it are easy to find on the internet, so I'm not the creator of this idea.  Here goes:

1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1/2 tsp. sea salt

Whir in a food processor until ingredients are incorporated into a powder.  That's it! Enjoy!
