going raw.

after our terrible, life-ruining experience at casa bonita, nate and i decided we needed to recover with an all raw diet. raw means the food has never been above 115 degrees. here's a preview of the delectable (?) cuisine we sampled over our one week stint. 

rawsage. 

get it? like sausage. 

(this had approximately zero things in common with sausage.)

after pulsing all of the raw ingredients in the food processor, we formed these green little patties.

mmmmmm.

guac rolled up in a lettuce leaf.

these "burritos" were offensive to the good burrito name. 

nate got pretty into "sprouting" which is soaking and rinsing beans over a 

period of days so that they sprout and have extra super enzymes. 

unfortunately, they tasted terrible.

more sprouting action.

success: sprouted garbanzo beans!

parsley-ginger-blueberry smoothies. 

i added agave nectar to mine to make it a little easier to palate. 

tasty salads.

grated zucchini, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and pesto.

this one was actually pretty good.

apple cinnamon "oatmeal."

aka oats that were soaked overnight.

not good.

chinese wild rice salad.

this one was ok, but i couldn't eat it more than once.

grapefruit-asparagus-jicama-lime salad.

"falafel."
