Walnut Pate

This pate is reminiscent of tuna or chicken salad, but so much better. Loaded with omega 3's, walnuts are considered the ultimate "brain food." Walnuts can also triple meletonin levels in the body, so if you have trouble sleeping, you might want to give walnuts a try in the evening. Try making pesto with walnuts and herbs instead of pine nuts.

Thai Sauce and Noodles With Marinated Asparagus

Perfectly creamy, light and refreshing. Great for warm weather. Aside from opening a young Thai coconut, this dish is about as quick and easy as they come. It's served here as an entree, however, would make a lovely side dish, or exquisite lunch. This is truly something even your non-raw friends and family will enjoy.

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!

Lasagna With Kelp Noodles and Marinara

This is great for a rainy, raw night. It's comforting, warming and satisfying and a meal you could easily serve to your SAD friends. While there are several parts that make up this dish, it can be prepared rather quickly with a little practice. The best part, there are plenty of leftovers for tomorrow night!!

Spaghetti With Sausage And Peppers

It's so wonderful to be able to sit down, eat a plate of sausage, peppers, onions and mushrooms, over pasta, and not feel all stuffed and bloated afterward!!! And here's a sneaky way to add more greens that your kids and family won't suspect: toss some chopped kale into the blender with your marinara sauce. This tasty dish was served over a combination of kelp and spiralized zucchini.

Peanut Sauce With Veggies with Noodles

I served this tasty dish over bean thread noodles. If you want to keep the dish 100 percent raw, use kelp or zucchini noodles. W loves bean thread noodles, especially in winter. This was yummy! It's all about choice, so you are free to serve this dish however you prefer. The sauce is super yum!

Kelp Noodles in Creamy Avocado Pepper Sauce

Simple, quick, light and delicious...adapted from a recipe by rawmama.  Kelp noodles are really fun, but you have to know how to use them, or they seem too rubbery. Soak them in water with a little lemon juice and see how soft they become. Their neutral flavor, gently accompanies whatever dressing or marinade you choose.  Sometimes I'll mix them with spiralized zucchini to add more texture.

Creamy Wild Mushroom and Spinach Pasta

Inspired by this delicious quiche recipe, I concocted an incredibly tasty cream sauce, served over a combination of kelp and zucchini noodles.  I also used Eden's artichoke pasta (in photo), for W. I don't do pasta, but will allow myself a very small helping of these.

The recipe is a KEEPER!

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).
