a dash of cayenne pepper
1 tsp cumin
¼ cup fresh cilantro
1 whole garlic clove
½ whole sweet onion
1 whole tomato, diced

Combine all ingredients except tomatoes in a food processor and blend until smooth, scraping sides as necessary. If its too rustic, add 1-2 tbsp water. Stir in tomatoes and serve.

Mighty Bean Muffins
Note: I take four cups of old-fashioned oatmeal, and put it in my blender, and make my own flour. You’ll get two cups of flour this way.
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups of oat flour
1 t of baking powder
1 t of cinnamon
4T of raisins (optional), or any type of dried fruit (I also love prunes)
Other Ingredients:
2 very ripe bananas
1 cup of mashed beans (any type will do)
½ cup of unsweetened applesauce
½ cup of water
6-8 dates
Juice from one lime or lemon
Take all wet ingredients and put them in the blender. Allow them to puree until you have a tan looking “batter.”
Put into a bowl and add the dry ingredients. Stir until moist. Let stand for five minutes.
Directions:
Spoon into silicone muffin pans, and fill 2/3. Place in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes, or until the muffins test “dry.”
Dining Out – TJ’s Burger House
Attempting to stick with our way of eating while dining out locally in the Wichita, Kansas area.
Veggie burger at TJ’s Burger House comes with fried mushrooms and onions. On the menu it says the Veggie Burger is a “protein patty” whatever that is. Maybe not the best veggie burger but it was good.
Enchilada Stack
Not sure what you’d call this.
3 corn tortillas layered with vegetarian re-fried beans and chopped fresh spinach. Covered with enchilada sauce.
I spread a thin coat of enchilada sauce on the bottom of and oven dish and cooked for around 20 minutes on 350.
Once out of the oven I topped with sliced olives and cilantro.
Pictured above served with home-made guacamole and home-baked tortilla chips.
