Matt VS Food!!

Dedicating this blog to my everlasting love for food.  The great philosopher, Divya Rao, once said "some people live to eat, others eat to live, I do both!"  Finding a balance in food can be one of the single hardest things for a person to do, I myself once adhered to a Vegan diet for roughly a year and a half.  For a few reasons, I am no longer as rigid in my dietary practice but I still enjoy healthy wholesome food.  I believe that one can both, live to eat, and eat to live at the same time. 

After I finished the Master Cleanse this weekend, I knew I would need to fill my body with nothing but nutrient dense foods for a week or so, thus no meat, dairy, or sugary snacks.  Since I work Monday - Friday, I wanted to make something that I can have for lunch the whole week.  After a little deliberation I decided to make a salsa that I can put over rice.  This would be easy, and efficient.  The recipe was taken from the "Complete Vegan Cookbook" by Mindy Toomay, with my own additions.

Ingredients used:
6 Tomatoes
1 Onion
1/4 cup minced cilantro
2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 can of corn
2 avocadoes (my addition)
1 can of black beans (my addition)

I made this, as well as two cups of long-grain-jasmine rice.  It should cover my lunch time meal this week, and save me the monotony of five dollar foot longs at Subway...
