After last night’s Super Bowl extravaganza (we went to a friend’s house – I brought along a layered bean dip), LeeLee and I were feeling rather sorry for our nutritional state in the light of day today.  That was all the excuse we needed to put together one of my favorite raw meals – Ani Phyo’s stuffed peppers with a side of avocado “fries”!

I’ve written about these peppers before; they never disappoint.  (I see that last time I blogged about this meal, I neglected to take a photo.  Today, I’ve remedied that!)  I always forget how much time is saved when making a raw-food meal – there’s no cooking time to contend with, only hands-on prep!  And in this case, the food processor did most of the work for the cashew cheese that tonight’s Cubanelle peppers were stuffed with, so I can’t even take most of the credit for the preparation.

I did, however, make a few tweaks to my avocado-fries recipe, and LeeLee (never a huge avocado fan) was very pleased with the results.  This time, I sliced up an avocado into strips and then placed them in a bowl, adding salt, pepper, chili powder, and nutritional yeast to taste.  The chili powder made the difference for LeeLee this time around!  He’s even put in a request for another round of avocado fries ASAP.  I’ll take it!

Perhaps tonight’s raw meal will counteract the carby, potato chip-filled sins of last night.  Either way, we enjoyed dinnertime regardless!
