Day 2- Making It.

I still haven't had the chance to cook yet, mostly because I feel that I am "too busy". I think that means I am, in fact, "too lazy".

However, I did buy some organic, steel cut oats at Kroger this morning with some local honey from Dickson County. This made for a very good and hearty breakfast! Eating this way can be expensive. But if you go too cheap, your sodium content will shoot up! Which isn't much better than eating too much fat, I would think.

*Recipe Idea*

Thought of my own idea for a recipe for The Superbowl party. Here is my Vegan Seven Layer Dip (I'm going to get alot of flack for this one):

1. Sauteed Rice (Get some good rice. Get the olive oil hot (in a wok preferably) until wisps of smoke start to emanate off the pan. Put some diced garlic and onion in the pan, stir for about a minute. Add 2 cups rice and stir until dark yellow (3-5 minutes). Add 4 cups water until a light boil, then turn down heat to low and let sit for 24 minutes, covered. Don't you dare take off the cover and peek).
2. Spicy Chipotle Black Beans- (You can use canned if you want. Just make sure to drain all that nasty black gunk off of them. Add some dried chipotle peppers (in adobo is okay, haven't checked on preservatives on that one yet), kosher salt, crushed black pepper, cilantro, lime juice, diced tomato, onion and the secret ingredient... get ready... OREGANO. Put all of this in a saucepan with a bit of water on med-low and cook for as long as you'd like)
3. Pico De Gallo- (You know how to do this!)
4. Crispy Potato Slices- (Boil potatoes until fork tender. Refrigerate until cool. Slice thin and saute until dark brown and crispy)
5. Guacamole- (This is a secret, but i'm sure you have your own recipe)
6. Roasted Edamame- (How it sounds!)
7. Fresh Tomatillo Salsa- (Roast 1 lb of tomatillos to get the stickiness off, quarter. 1 large onion diced. 5 cloves garlic, 1 cup cilantro, 1 jalapeno *keep those seeds in now!*, 1 juiced lime, kosher salt to taste). Put this in a blender. DO NOT BLEND IT. Pulse it to a light chop. Transfer to saucepan. Bring to light boil, turn down heat, simmer for 30 minutes.)

Bring it on Velveeta and cheap ground meat coagulatory mixture! I call this dip "Forget the RoethlisBURGER SuperBOWL dip".

For lunch i'm eating more steamed vegetables and a Larabar. I feel a bit more energetic even after a day.
