Day 11 - Jicama Spicy Fries

Today's Menu
. Appetizer: Jicama Spicy Fries
- Main Event:  Farm Fresh Baby Carrots, Orange Pepper, Cherry Tomatoes & Hummus
- Dessert:  Grapes

The Jicama Spicy Fries are fabulous, and nutritious!  Made from Jicama (pronounced Hih-ka-ma), they are a raw foodies' junk food delicacy. Jicama is nutrient-dense, low calorie and very tasty raw.  Very easy to make.  Peel & cut the Jicama into sticks, toss with chili powder, olive oil, fresh lime juice and a bit of sea salt.  Let stand for at least an hour.  Yum.  Surprisingly not to hot/spicy, just tasty.  Well, let's see if they pass the kids test.  I went to a great Raw Food Class held by a good friend of mine who gave me this recipe - Thanks Dianne!

Here are the grapes - don't think I've highlighted the wax paper bags in use yet...


No mess, grapes stay fresh and I can typically use the bags another day.  I've put the melon in this too - works well.
