Fiesta latina de la comida

Yummy, spinach stuffed poblanos smothered in goat cheese and creme fraiche.  The roasted pine nuts and raisins added a nice bite and touch of sweet.  Complemented by soupy black beans, partially seasoned white rice and for the carnivores turkey tacos, all in all it was an enjoyable evening to share with friends and family.  Gluten free and vegetarian, my friend enjoyed a complete meal.  I do have to say, Popeye sure was right about spinach.  Consuming it does make me feel stronger and healthier.  While there's nothing wrong with frozen spinach, I wouldn't choose to eat canned spinach.  I worry about the BPA's from plastic inside the can that are so ubiquitous.  Recently I decided to attempt to rid my life of canned products.  My means of making the change involved buying dried beans and avoiding canned soups.  The one thing that prevented my full adherence to the cause was coconut milk.  I suppose the powder works just as well.  So remember, frozen fruits vegetables good, frozen meals usually not good, cans mostly contaminated, and don't microwave things in plastic.  We have to be aware of and prevent contamination to our bodies from all aspects of our society, including the water and products we wash our bodies with.
