I just love love love collard greens. They make the BEST wraps ever! The above was filled with spiralized daikon and carrtos, siracha, sesame seeds, wasabi, pickled ginger, avocado, scallions and my low fat flax sesame ginger vinaigrette. The $.50 cent avocados I bought two weeks ago are still very fresh. Buying avocadoes unripe and allowing them to just soften slightly, then putting them in the fridge helps to extend their life. Just take the avocado out the day before you want to use it and let it ripen up.
A different kind of salad
Bean burger on homemade bread. I love using kale or collards as the top piece of bread in a burger or sandwich. Not only does it save calories, it ups your nutrition big time!
First attempt at Raw Baked BeansYesterday on RaFu (my favorite online raw forum) someone asked if it would be possible to create raw baked beans? I of course, had to try to figure it out. These are my first attempt with what I had on hand. (and the pic looks gross.. it's hard to make raw baked beans look good). I actually liked them more than I thought I would.
Since I had my dehydrator going, I made some raw bread and crackers... and have 4 raw burgers. I also created a delicious raw BBQ sauce. I will definitely have some raw food recipes in my ebook.

ReplyDeleteWhat was the ingredients in your raw baked beans?? I'm so curious!
Your blog is so inspirational! I am also happy to hear that you will be including raw recipes in your cookbook. A question, what gadget do you use the spiralize your veggies? I have seen a few advertised but they have very mixed reviews. Could you tell me a bit about what you use?
ReplyDeleteIt all looks great but I really really want that burger!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What are the little dollops of red and green on the top of the first pic?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE collards too. How pissed am I that they just ranked in the Top 15 on the highest pesticide load list. Kale, spinach and lettuce are also in the top 15. Grrrr!
I love collards, too--great for wraps. Do you steam yours first, or blanch them? I find they're too tough raw. Everything looks delish!
