Raw Stuffed Tomatoes



Hey Guys!!! I am So happy to have survived Hurricane Irma. I hope you and your loved ones are safe and sound and for those of you with kiddos... I hope your power has been restored! 

This week has been crazy so from my perspective it's time to make food. My mom always made food as comfort. And to remind us that FAMILY is EVERYTHING, she would have people over or we would go to their houses (specially during a hurricane... my house is made out of wood and metal ceiling).

Now for those of you on detox.. CONGRATULATIONS you have survived the hurricane without non- perishables probably for the very first time.  So this recipe is made for those missing some more freshness in their lives. It is so yummy and fast and simple.

I usually make these to spice up my salad it give it the sexiness that it needs! Here is the deal though you need juicy but firm tomatoes I used Roma tomatoes because they look so cute when stuffed but get creative use beef tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes (oh that would be pretty!) or even jubilee tomatoes if you have them available.

Then pick the ingredients you want to stuff it with you can use peppers, onion, garlic (basic) or mushrooms, garlic, basil & balsamic... or just about anything you can think goes together. Don't forget to balance out some of the sweet acidity of the tomatoes (lol i know how it sounds but I think you get it) with some fresh herbs .

Yes like most of the detox recipes this has to have avocado, potato or squash to stuff with. You need a creamy center to a firm tomato. In this particular case I used avocado so that it its raw but you get the gist...


Ok so this is what I made:



Enjoy and remember sharing is caring!  

couple of tips:

To remove the insides I used a tea spoon the kind you use to mix the honey into the tea. That tiny spoon gave me the control I needed to not brake the tomato.

If you have no patience for mixing and mashing add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse until creamy.  

 If you are using a roma tomato only about 2 tbsp fits inside 

 Use the whole tomato so what you remove add right back to the mixture that you use to fill it with!

Non-Dairy Mashed Potatoes

Image
This past weekend was Memorial Day which usually means beach, sun and barbecue; and me being me I couldn't show up to my husbands family's house empty handed. This recipe was so good that no one thought it was vegan, let alone detox. To continue with my potato phase I made non-dairy mash potatoes without compromising taste, because who would want to do that to comfort food?? I used my handy dandy slow cooker and my wits to come up with creamy wonderful tasting mashed potatoes. The slow cooking allows the potatoes to soak up the taste of the cooking liquid and any spices you put in there. Of course I only added vegetable broth and garlic to cook it. To give it the creamy texture, after cooking it I used my food processor to cream 3/4 of the potato in the slow cooker and the rest I mashed with a potato masher. Adding flavor to me is a must, I topped it off with home-made white onion and garlic in a type of " Mojo Sauce " with no oil. If you want to add a bite and y

DETOX FOODS YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU COULD HAVE...

Hey Guys! This post was inspired by questions of patients. I have noticed that most people that say there's not enough flavor in my food don't really know what they can have and what they are missing. Here is a cheat sheet of some of the items that you can have while on detox and what to use them for. Vinegar's and Sauces: Organic Balsamic Vinegar- is a very dark, concentrated, and intensely flavored vinegar made wholly or partially from grape must, originating in Italy. During detox it can be used raw for dressings and to flavor vegetables before roasting.The reason this needs to be organic is because it will only have natural recurring sulfites and nothing added. Apple Cider Vinegar- It’s mostly apple juice, but adding yeast turns the fruit sugar into alcohol -- this is fermentation. Bacteria turn the alcohol into acetic acid. That’s what gives vinegar its sour taste and strong smell. During detox we can use this vinegar for dressings, to make relishes and to add mo
