Eggplant Casserawl

Revisiting: This light and tasty dish is my lazy version of raw lasagna and worth revisiting for those of you that may have missed it. No marinara sauce required, and I added a quick version of macadamia nut cheese. This was served with  spiralized zucchini and marinated broccoli (can use mushrooms). Feel free to add additional toppings and seasonings to your liking.

Pasta Primavera With Alfredo Sauce

Creamy and rich - So quick and easy to make! Great on raw or cooked noodles if you are transitioning. I mix kelp noodles and spiralized zucchini together. For W, I mixed artichoke pasta with softened kelp noodles  with tons of veggies, and a dollop of "Alfredo" sauce, topped with a sprinkle of "parmesan" cheese and you are good to go!

Eggplant Lasagna Medley

A scrumptious medley using two variations of tender baby eggplant and three delicious types of mushrooms makes this dish quick and easy to prepare. It's very reminiscent of cooked food, and nice to gently warm on a cold winter day.

Roasted Fennel - Super Quick and Easy

Don't have a lot of time? This is a really quick and easy meal to prepare. I'm finding it hard to eat raw all the time in Winter. For lunch I cut up some raw celery and carrots, but when dinner rolls around, I tend to lean towards cooked, but crunchy veggies. 

I had some fennel that I needed to use and this is what I came up with. It was really easy and surprisingly delicious. We were both totally satisfied and full.

Raw Mediterranean Almond Bread and Unroasted Eggplant Sandwich

YUmmmm! Using Mediterranean Almond Bread,  I created a scrumptious sandwich. Try Shari Viger's Veggie Mac Cheese Spread topped  with  Boston bibb lettuce, red onion, "Unroasted" eggplant, and tomatoes. On a bed of romaine, I placed some additional "UnRoasted" eggplant, marinated mushrooms, olives, and artichoke hearts. For guests I cut these into bite sized treats and served them as appetizers. I didn't tell my guests they were raw until they said.."Yumm, these are great, what's in them?"

Soba and Kelp Noodles With Roasted Eggplant

W and I visited with my daughter "L" and her boyfriend today. They recently moved into their new condo, and we had not seen the little love nest yet. L wanted to make us dinner, but due to my dietary restrictions, I suggested that I bring the ingredients and she and I prepare the meal together. We agreed upon Soba Noodles with Roasted Eggplant.  (Note: I have not tried it, but this dish could be converted to raw if you eliminate the soba noodles, use only kelp and/or spiralized zucchini, and dehydrate the eggplant for an hour or more instead of roasting).
