Tomato Cucumber Salad with Fresh Basil
This salad is totally raw! My neighbor gave me some tomatoes and my friend gave me a cucumber so I put them together for this salad:
4 large tomatoes, diced
1 Cucumber sliced and diced
3 fresh parsley leaves
4 fresh basil leaves
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Bragg's Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (with the "mother")
Sea Salt to taste
Black pepper or Cayenne to taste
After dicing, put the tomatoes and cucumbers into a bowl. Sprinkle with the fresh parsley, fresh basil, olive oil, apple cider, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Enjoy!
I took a picture with my phone but can't figure out how to get it on here! It was so beautiful too. :(

Toasted Cheese Sandwiches with a Twist!
I was given an avocado and decided to try this.
2 slices of non-gluten bread
2 slices of almond jalapeno jack non-cheese
1 avocado
Earth Balance non-dairy spread
Spread the bread with Earth Balance. Put one slice butter side down on a hot griddle or frying pan. With my electric fry pan, 350 is the best temperature. Put the cheese on top of it and then spread the avocado on top of that. Put the second slice on top with the butter side up. Wait to turn it until the bottom bread slice is nicely browned. Then turn carefully so the top piece doesn't slide off. Cook until the top piece, now the bottom piece) is browned. Slice and enjoy!

Fruity, Fruity Oatmeal
I made up this recipe because my friend and I made applesauce together from the apples on her trees.
3 handfuls of old-fashioned oats
Distilled water to cover the oats plus about 1 inch more
Turn burner on low (for my electric stove, 2 is the best setting)
Cook until it is very smooth (it takes about 45 minutes), stirring occasionally. You may need to add additional water.
Once it is cooked, stir in:
Applesauce
Blueberries
Banana (sliced)
Cook just enough to get the blueberries warm. You can add some sweetener, if you want.
Enjoy!
