First, I made a Raw Cauliflower Salad with Orange Vinaigrette. I came across it on a raw food blog. You should really check it out! The only thing I did differently, was I left out the asparagus (I didn't have any), I used the purple raisins instead of the golden (didn't have any of those either), and I replaced the oil in the dressing with water. It was a perfect recipe for yesterday's weather, which was around 70 degrees. A perfect summer salad, if there ever was one :)
To go with the salad, I made VeganYumYum's Spicy Tomato Chickpea Soup. I don't have a blender, so blending it wasn't an option. I did however puree the chickpeas in my little food processor before putting them into the pan. I also used crushed tomatoes instead of diced. Tossed in a bit extra turmeric...it's good for you! And once again, I left out the oil....didn't need it. I saute everything in water these days. It was quite nice and spicy.....thumbs up.
And I also just wanted to say...I LOVE KALE AND BROCCOLI!!! I really do. I think I'm addicted to them now. I buy it up at the farmer's market, but I always run out in a couple of days (kale)....I'm almost out of it now and should've gone to the market (yup, they're open on Tuesday afternoons now too) to get some. Too tired. They haven't had any broccoli in a while, so I buy that at the supermarket, but we eat it practically every day. Is there such a thing as overdosing on green stuff???? Jeez, I hope our blood doesn't just run out of us if we get cut, LOL!
Next post will be that FL trip post (Disney)....coming soon. I've got the pictures all ready to go :)
Eat smart,
T.
