Keeping it Simple

When I have time on the weekends I like to play with somewhat complicated raw food recipes.   During the workweek, however, I like to keep things quick and easy.

Breakfast is always a green smoothie, which I carry to work in a mason jar (inducing the gag reflex in my first period class).

Lunch is veggies and some kind of dip that I've prepared in bulk over the weekend. This week's dip is Ani Phyo's raw Red Pepper Hummus.  

In the afternoons I snack on fruit and nuts or raw cereal and nut milk. 

Weekday dinners are always a gigantic salad with EVOO and ACV, or a dressing made over the weekend, like this yummy ranch from Sunny Raw Kitchen.

TH always has a smaller salad, then I usually make him something cooked.  This evening I had some extra squash and zucchini kicking around so I sauteed it in olive oil, sea salt and pepper.  TH enjoyed it in a tortilla with beans and goat cheese.  It smelled lovely.

Dessert is often some kind of chocolatey goodness.  Before eating high raw I always craved dessert, but rarely let myself eat it.  Now I eat dessert every night that I want it.  It's so fun to eat something this delicious on a regular basis and not gain weight or feel yucky after eating it.
