Live Right Now - Episode 003 – The Weenie The World Awaited

Often, our favorite childhood foods encourage unwelcome diseases. No need to give them up, simply get into the kitchen, tweak the recipe a bit and no one will know the difference. Most everybody is quite busy these days. We mean well, but often run out of time to cook and compromise with pre-made this and that.

“Sooner than later, we must get back to the kitchen and cook where we control the ingredients and create health. Not turn our health over to a stranger in a food processing factory assembly line” ~Chef Wendell

  • 6 stalks of asparagus, bottoms trimmed
  • 4 cauliflower florets
  • 1 carrot (leave skin on)
  • 2 green onions, chopped fine
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro leaves and stems
  • 2 tbs. grapeseed mayonnaise
  • Juice of one fresh lime or lemon
  • Himalaya salt and black pepper to taste
  • Cut veggies into smaller pieces before processing.  Pulse all veggies in food processor. Do not over pulse, however. Place chopped veggies into a mixing bowl, squeeze in the lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt and pepper and whisk / blend. Keep chilled.

  • 2 tbsp. tamari
  • 1 small onion, diced
