Here is a mini harvest from my small garden..the strawberries were delish, the rest will be devoured very soon.. and I will share. I want to post most of my meals here so you can get some new ideas.. don't worry, they may not all be raw but they will be plant based!
Today I ate watermelon, some halawi dates from Pato's Dream (Thanks Doug!), some berry/banana/coconut milk 'ice cream' and a fuji apple with some almond butter and a dab of raw honey and a few cacao nibs for a movie snack.
I took Sam to see Ramona and Beezus and I highly recommend it to families and kids, lots of fun, very G rated which is rare these days!
Dinner Time!
I was inspired by Nell Stephenson, an athlete, trainer and healthy eater. This is what I made for dinner, you can see Nell's version on her site.
Farm Fresh arugula aka rocket, with strawberries, sliced raw almonds and a small hass avocado. Dressed with a squeeze of lemon, some hemp oil and pink himalayan salt. Let's just say it was tasty and went fast!
In the oven I have a purple yam or camote.. this amazing root veggie is known to be a super-food and my pal Fernando introduced me to it.
It goes by other names, such as
| Okinawan purple potato = Okinawan yam Notes: The flesh of this Japanese sweet potato is vivid purple. It's perfect for tempura, but it can also be baked, sauteed, boiled, steamed, or mashed. Substitutes: Japanese yam |
By the time I finish this post, the yam will be roasted and ready for a bit of coconut oil and sea salt. I am experimenting with cooked starchy tubers for dinner, so far so good!
My Real American Hero series will be posted over on my other blog, Grass Fed Momma. I hope you join us and meet some true super heroes in the food world at large!
Our first hero will be none other than Anthony Anderson and his BlackBird Tribe!
oh my, my yam is done, put some coconut oil and pink salt on it.. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!
with Purple passion
