It’s been pretty hectic lately. I don’t remember what I had for lunch. Ah yes, I had lunch out because of a business meeting. It was a garden burger. Ugh, I got really sleepy afterwards and had trouble concentrating the rest of the afternoon. It’s probably full of high glycemic load carbs.

But for dinner I had Raw Spaghetti. I didn’t get a chance to snap a video of it tonight, but you can see it in tomorrow’s post (click on the Raw Spaghetti link) where I had leftovers for lunch.

Soaking and Sprouting: 5 Projects

Without meaning to, I ended up getting involved in 5 soaking and sprouting projects this weekend.

In this video, follow along with my exiting adventures in:

• A Critical Ingredient of Soaking
• Soaking lentils, for a Lentil Avocado Casserole this evening.
• Sprouting black-eyed peas, for a dinner dish coming up in a few days.
• Soaking almonds, along with my quickie recipe for almond milk.
• Soaking rice, for a dinner dish tomorrow evening.
• Soaking wheat berries, for a muesli breakfast tomorrow morning.

Raw Muesli and More – Meals 10/11/2008

Breakfast

• Mixed fresh fruit – kiwi, grapes, pears, grapefruit, orange, etc.
• Muesli – raw oats, banana, and raisins in almond milk

Lunch

• Lettuce leaves with hummus spread on them, and on top add various veggies like alfalfa sprouts, yellow beans, zucchini, celery, and cherry tomatos.
• After lunch I overdosed on sweets – 8 Trader Joe’s vegan trail mix cookies, dried mango, and dried banana. I got really sleepy afterwards. Another sugar crash like with the raw goji cheesecake?

Dinner

• Fresh fruit salad, similar to breakfast
• Raw apple cobbler
