Raw Spaghetti – Raw Food Meals 10/24/2008

Breakfast

  • Mango
  • Pineapple
  • Pear
  • Dried apricot

Lunch

Leftovers! MMMmmm. It was quick to whip up because the sauce had already been made, and shredding a zucchini takes no time flat. But since I didn’t get a chance to describe it earlier:

  • Zucchini (shredded/grated “noodle style”)
  • Whole tomatoes (Does that really have an “e” in it? Don’t much like the thought of “toes” in there. I always second-guess myself on this word and a similar one, ever since the whole Dan Quayle incident.)
  • Dried tomatoes (adds a nice tangyness)
  • Avocado
  • Olive oil (cold pressed extra virgin of course)
  • Garlic

Blend all the sauce ingredients together and away you go! The shredded zucchini is a nice effect, but it’s really the sauce that makes this dish.

Hmmm, now that I’m thinking of it, I probably could have put some diced onions in there, I bet that would have been nice.

Dinner

Well, it being Friday and my son courageously enduring a week of all-raw foods (some which he wasn’t especially keen on)…  We went out for some Mexican food. Fortunately the place near us has a nice relatively healthy vegan selection. But this place wouldn’t know raw if it was hit over the head with a broccoli bush. I was left feeling bloaty & lethargic afterwards. I don’t know whether it was because it was cooked, or because it was loaded with fast-acting carbs.
