Yum! This was oh so delicious! It's getting colder, the days are getting shorter and our energy levels are dwindling. It's time to fix it with food. Both to pleasure our taste buds and also to fill our bodies with nutrients and vitamins. I'm making a move in my diet to more greens, (okay, so a crazy huge amount of greens...) and more uncooked food. The raw food movement is real and alive for a reason folks. It works. If you want to gain more insight on it's powerful effects, I highly recommend you watch the documentary Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 days, a documentary that records the effects of a study a doctor performed on six Americans with 'incurable' diabetes. Powerful information in this documentary. The doctor seems a little new age and flaky at first, but give it a shot. His research is well documented, and each of the individuals responses to the change in diet is heartening. Such a painful disease, and yet so easily managed and alleviated through eating real, raw food. (Below is the full video on YouTube) After all of that about raw food, this meal is not completely raw. I love raw food, and although I feel that eating as much of your diet as raw as you can is important, I also feel that certain foods are just better cooked. Like the sweet potato and cashew mash that I made the other day at work. And Mushrooms! So this dinner is a bit of that lovely mash, 1 big sweet potato peeled and boiled 6 roasted garlic cloves 1/3 cup cashews Put all into a food processor and blend until smooth. ...Then some mushroom Thai noodles Sautee in pan on medium-high heat: 1 1/2 cups of sliced mushrooms 1/2 sliced hot chilli pepper 1 inch minced ginger 1 Tbsp coconut oil pinch of sea salt, and sprinkle of pepper Add: 1 Tsp miso 1 Tsp tahini 1 Tbsp Apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup vegan milk Add: Cooked rice noodles I put all of this with some finely sliced swiss chard and some sliced yellow bell peppers. If you want to start introducing more raw food into your diet, start small.
