Simple lunch recipes

One of the best things about eating raw for me, is just how quickly a few vegetables can be transformed into something delicious with out much effort. 
This was our lunch today - prepared in literally minutes!

Raw zucchini pasta with tomato sauce -

Pasta: Using my spiraliser, I created a bowl full of wholesome zucchini noodles

Assembly: Toss noodles through sauce, top with olives, spinach leaves, thin slices of left over sun dried tomatoes, fresh herbs, 'rawmassen cheese' (made by grinding to a powder  1/2 cup of cashews, 1 tsp garlic granules and pinch of salt)

After about a month of struggling with Rhody to eat anything other than fruit, or raw 'buckwheaties' and almond milk, or raw crackers with almond butter and honey, I was totally amazed to see him today, literally scoff down 4 serves of the vegie rawfry! He was the last to leave the table, scraping out the last remnants of the dish. Its incredible how much kids attitudes can change over food - from one day spitting food in their hand declaring it to be 'yuk' to literally overnight, scoffing down an entire bowl full of the same thing...! 

  

More please!

4th serve!
