Carrot Fried Rice - How-To

It's a quiet, cold and drizzly Saturday morning and I'm in the mood for carrot fried rice, so when I'm done here, I'm off to make a new batch.

Meanwhile, here's a picture of the last batch I made. To hydrate the rice you see below, I used one part white rice and two parts combined liquid of homemade chicken stock and freshly juiced carrots. About three parts chicken stock to one part carrot juice and bam, look at that pretty yellow rice.

Turmeric does a nice job as well and so does saffron, but I wanted to use carrot juice instead of turmeric and saffron is out of my price range.

As the rice hydrates on the stove-top,  I prep and cook the carrots, onions and celery. Sometimes I add fresh locally grown organic garlic and ginger, other times I leave it out.

That's how I make yellow rice.  Basic but oh so yummy.

PS: The rice isn't really fried, but that's what we call it.
PPS: I love my new car.
PPPS: I love my new Breville
PPPPS: I have the best Hubby in all the land.

I love spicy peanuts on mine, but was out that day.

Gadzukes! It Worked!

The white creamy flesh of the zuke, severed as an inexpensive way to add nutrients and bulk, without compromising on flavour or texture. Add to it, that summer squash is 95 percent water (compared to winter squash at 81 percent), and we have a truly cooling dessert.

As always, my ice creams and frozen yums, are dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, soya-free, refined sugar-free, artificial dye-free, and allergy-friendly.

But that's far too long a list, so I just call them ice creams and frozen, yums. Those looking for the how-to, enlarge the last two photos.

PS: Tonight we're ordering my new Breville Beauty. OMG!

The Kibosh + How-To Green Goo

So my big plans to make crackers and tart shells got the kibosh yesterday due to blah, blah, spinal stuff, blah, blah.  On the good news though, I got to meet Hubby for brown bag lunch and then do a little ingredient shopping. 

I scored jalapenos, prunes, Hungarian hot peppers, killer scallions, and one rotten banana.  As soon as my body allows, I'll be back in the lab, brewin' up goodies.

Like this one here, served in a zombie mug.

1 big green bell pepper
3 celery ribs
organic apple juice (homemade if you have it)

Might look gross but this is my new favorite drink.  So flippin' good.  Talk about sustained energy.  I'm tellin' ya.  For me, this beats a cuppa Joe, any day of the week.
