Beautiful day for a countryside ride...

Turns out Copenhagen is a good dumpster diving city and my roommates have brought home a goldmine of goodies lately. Here's what we've created...

* add salt, pepper, and EVOO

* blend 'er up

creamy avocado sauce/spread

* puree avocado, carrots, turmeric, garlic, lemon juice or a dash of vinegar, 2 handfuls arugula and nutritional yeast if you like

* use as a spread or a sauce for veggie or real pasta

sundried tomato + scallion hummus

* puree chickpeas, scallions, sundrieds, curry paste, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, EVOO + water

vegan carrot tea cakes

* use 2 cups carrot/veggie/fruit pulp from juicer

* mix in 1 1/2 c. flour of your choice + 1/4 c. sweetener  of choice, tsp vanilla, 1/4 butter/ oil of choice, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder add milk, an egg, banana or water if you need moisture

Happy riding!
