Rice Pasta with Simple Marinara and Lentil Balls I am working my way through my brown rice pasta stash! I need to make a Trader Joes trip soon as their brown rice pasta is PERFECT and cheap at only 1.99/lb. This dish tested my lentil balls big time. They sat in sauce for 4 days before I used them an...

Millet Polenta, Lentils, Raw Green Goddess Pate and Kale Salad I'm playing catch up here! (as I am with most of my posts).. This dish was composed of my raw kale and sprout salad, lentils, millet polenta and topped with a raw sunflower herb cream/pate. I cooked up a cup of millet (which you will be ...

Thursday evening my X had to go to be with his dying grandmother. As of this second, she is still holding on, but it won't be long. I've been at the house since then. Before I left, I packed up a bunch of food so I could do a bunch of cooking.. I forgot my camera, so these pics are old pics, but rep...

The above dish was a play on a casserole. I made a small amount of polenta to test a recipe for my ebook, figuring I would use it to make polenta croutons, but an idea came to me for this layered "casserole" instead. I saw a similar dish a week or so on someone's blog, forgive me for not remembering...

Pumpkin Chia Breakfast Pudding First, this pudding is delicious. I used 8 oz silken tofu, 1 c canned pumpkin, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, stevia, lemon juice and chia seeds. Topped with a bit of high fiber cereal, it is a healthy alternative to the oatmeal I've been eating. This made two large serving...

Chipotle Vegetable Chowdah As many of you know, I was laid off in December and have not found a job yet. I know I'm not alone in this horrible situation and it is quite scary. Out of necessity, I have had to cut my expenses down to the bare minimum. This means I have around $100 a month for food. I ...

Sesame Beet Salad When I worked at Blue Moon Cafe, we served a yummy sesame beet salad in our deli case. It was delicious and very full of fat. I do not like the taste of canola or safflower oils at all, so replacing them with nutrient dense alternatives actually improves the flavor to me. Several d...

Raw Chocolate Biscotti with Orange Infused Ganache This was an experiment from Saturday night and I am thrilled with the results! They actually got crispy in the dehydrator. The next time I make them, I am going to write down the recipe. I see endless possibilities with these babies! The ganache was...

Raw Nacho Macadamia Nut Cheese I still have an abundance of nuts in my freezer leftover from my bulk order this summer. I spent around $300 or so at the beginning of my 30 day raw challenge. The Macadamia are good in cheeses and other raw food, but I prefer cashews. That being said, this cheese is s...
