For the first time ever last week, I was out with food poisoning! I always knew it was an unpleasant experience from the looks of others, but I never knew it would be this taxing on me, mentally and physically. I unfortunately had to spend a short while in the hospital, and they deemed the illness to be food poisoning coupled with a bacterial infection and from these, fever. What was weird is that I felt ill Wednesday, recovered with a small headache on Thursday, and when Friday rolled around, I could not even get myself to open my eyes! It took a 360 real quick and I had to head to the hospital because of it. We had no clue what had caused my illness, and at this point I really don't have the urge to try and figure that out, I am just glad that I am passed that terrible, terrible, did I say TERRIBLE experience.
The first thing I do right when I was well the following Monday? Get into the damn kitchen again and make myself some food that's what!
A beautiful farm to table summer salad for you all to brighten your day, actually dayS, since I know you are not only going to make this just once ;) I visited the farmers market and picked up the goodies you see in this salad and created a masterpiece, if I do say so myself.

A creamy, vegan, oil-free and low-fat recipe for a soup, sauce, or even a dip. I created this with the intention of it being a soup, but I discovered that it could be enjoyed it in various ways. I couldn't decide which way I loved most, so I photographed and shared them all with you below.
A couple of weekend's ago, I visited the Hollywood Farmer's Market and came home with the beautiful organic produce pictured above, some of which inspired this recipe.

I love making fresh juice, but the question that always comes up is what the heck do I do with the juice pulp? I have cooked the (vegetable) pulp into soups, added it into cookies and crackers, and (when lazy) simply composted the pulp, but I wanted to try and create something new!
As I had posted a few weeks ago, my cousin and I went on a juicing spree for her and her family during the week, and I ended up saving all of the pulp from the three juices we made. 
You ready for this? I don't think you are....High carb, low fat, raw vegan corn chips, oh yeah!
These chips are gluten-free, nut-free, seed-free and fat-free! That was a mouth full, but you get the point. These chips are everything-free and you have no excuse NOT to make it cause I gave you the option of baking these babies instead of using a dehydrator.
