Monday, January 6, 2014Raw Food Recipe Menu: January 5, 2014BreakfastAvocado Eggs and Cantaloupeserves 2 ~ $2.42 per servingingredients2 zucchini ($1.00)1 tablespoon olive oil ($.10)1 tablespoon agave ($.10)1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar ($.10)1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon garlic powder1/2 teaspoon onion powder1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke1/2 cantaloupe ($2.05)2 avocados ($1.49)2 tablespoons agave ($.20) {optional}salt and pepperI love avo eggs, and the sweet cantaloupe and savory zucchini strips really go well together. The zucchini strips need to be made a little bit ahead of time. Idehydrated mine just long enough to soften them, about two hours. These can be dehydrated overnight and put together the next morning.Peel the zucchini and slice into very thin strips. This can be done on a mandoline slicer or with a sharp knife. In a small cup, whisk together the olive oil, agave, balsamic vinegar, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and liquid smoke. Pour over the zucchini strips (a lidded container works well, I use a zip lock box). Once coated, lay the zucchini on lined dehydrator sheets and dehydrate at 105degrees overnight, or until softened.To assemble, just slice the cantaloupe and wrap with the softened zucchini slices. Cut the avocados in half, put a dollop of agave in the center, and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.nutritional information: calories: 411 fat: 27 gr carbs: 42 gr prLunchApple Avocado Soupserves 2 ~ $1.44 per servingingredients1 avocado, chopped ($.88)2 medium apples, peeled and chopped ($1.29)1 tablespoon chopped onionhandful arugula leaves ($.50)2 tablespoons olive oil ($.20)2 cups water, for blendingminced onionsalt and pepper to tastered pepper flakesdirectionsSet aside a few arugula leaves for garnish.In a blender, combine the avocado, apples, chopped onion, arugula leaves, oliveoil, and water, and puree until very smooth.Salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with a few chopped arugula leaves, some finely minced onion, and red pepper flakes.nutritional information: calories: 275 fat: 18 gr carbs: 42 gr protDinnerMimi Kirk's Simple Mediterranean Saladserves 2 ~ $3.82 per servingingredients4 firm heirloom tomatoes or slightly green tomatoes, cut into wedges ($3.00)2 sweet red or yellow peppers, seeded, cored, and sliced into thin strips ($2.10)1small or 1/2 medium sweet onion or red onion, sliced into strips ($.10)1/2 cucumber, coarsely diced ($.25)1 cup raw olives, pitted ($1.59)good quality extra-virgin olive oil ($.30)1-2 tablespoons lemon juice ($.30)himalayan or celtic sea salt, to tastefreshly milled pepper to tasteThis recipe is from Mimi Kirk's wonderful new book, Live Raw.

These are no exception.In a food processor with an S blade, process all ingredients, except the cocoa powder, until finely chopped and it all starts to clump together. This takes a minute or two.Using a plastic rounded tablespoon or melon scooper, scoop out and press to makea half sphere. Use half the mixture to make regular coconut macaroons.

ed and then shape with the tablespoon or scooper.nutritional information: calories: 143 fat: 7 gr carbs: 19 gr protTotal cost for the day: $8.84total calories: 1,246total fat: 72 grtotal carb: 122 grtotal protein: 20 gr- See more at: http://www.rawon10.com/#sthash.NFutibOG.dpuf
