I have lots of food pics to share!  I’m a terrible blogger, but I hope this post will inspire!

Let’s start with zucchini guacanara (http://www.choosingraw.com/guacanara/), which makes a nice lunch-to-go:

Here’s a delicious raw wrap: coconut meat, pea shoots, avocado, kelp noodles, and cucumber (I think) wrapped in nori:

Next up, some latke-like veggie cakes made from carrot juice pulp, chopped onion, egg, and grated zucchini.  It’s great to be able to use that juice pulp!

Here I made some fresh vegan pesto out of basil leaves, pine nuts, and olive oil.  This made a great sauce for sauteed zucchini slices, with a side of tomato, kale and pea shoots:

A veggie burger taste test!  I tried a Sunshine burger breakfast patty next to a tex mex Dr. Praeger’s veggie burger.  I was expecting the Sunshine Burger to win, because I love sunshine burgers, but Dr. Praeger’s outshone it!  It was moister, more flavorful, and didn’t fall apart like the Sunshine burger:

I am getting lightning fast at opening young coconuts!

… and the best thing I know of to do with a young coconut is to make one of Gena’s spooky pumpkin smoothies (http://www.choosingraw.com/the-savory-and-the-sweet/).  Canned pumpkin works great:

Kale salad with pumpkin seeds and a tomato curry dressing is am-az-ing!  (recipe at http://www.choosingraw.com/vegetable-based-dressings/)

Here, a completely improved, tasty meal- Trader Joe’s whole grain naan topped with raw garlic spread and avocado, and a bowl of red lentils, kale, and avocado:

Hope you’re inspired!  I really wish I had better pics, but my camera is not functioning so my phone will have to do for now.
