Smuggling Corn Chips

A little 3:30 p.m. sunset action:


I am such a nerd.  We leave for Mexico in two days, and what did I spend my evening doing?  Packing? No.  Wrapping Christmas presents?  No.  Grading finals?  No.  Instead of doing everything I should have done, I made a large batch of raw corn chips from Raw Food Real World so that I would have something healthy to eat with my vacation guacamole.  I will be very upset if I have to throw these friends away in customs.   


Even the batter (?) dough (?) was tasty.  I ate quite a bit of it while spreading it out on the D trays.  I'm glad it worked out because I had to make a few recipe substitutions:  
  • green pepper instead of red pepper
  • lemon juice instead of lime
  • cayenne instead of jalapenos
I also made some dates stuffed with almond butter and dipped in chocolate sauce (idea from Delightfully Raw) for a few healthy friends.



Is it wrong that I thought about moonie pies about 761 times today?  

Recipe from Sweetly Raw 


Question:  Do you have a favorite food item that you insist on taking with you on trips?
