Raw Lasagna

Photo: There's no better way to follow up with a marinara recipe than with a FullyRaw Lasagna Recipe! I hope you're ready for a big lunch because this low-fat deep-dish is on the menu! If you haven't already, you MUST give this one a try! Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram Rawfully Organic Co-op 

This recipe is created in layers. Please feel free to be as creative as you would like. There is no wrong way to make this lasagna. 

Ingredients:
5 Large Zucchinis
Cherry Tomaotes Aprrox 2 Pints (Separate from the amount for the Epic Raw Marinara)
    Bunch Italian Parsley
    Bunch Cilantro
    Bunch Arugula
    Bunch Spinach
    Quarter cup Pine Nuts (less if desired!)
    1 Small Green Onion
    1 Small Garlic Clove (Optional)

Directions:

To make the zucchini layers, you will need a mandolin slicer or handheld mandolin. This slices the zucchini into long strips so that you can use them to separate your layers. Use approximately 4 zucchinis for your layers  and hold onto one for your pine nut dressing/"cheese."

After you lay your first layer into your deep dish, you will need a food processor to finely cut/chop a mix of the parsley, cilantro, and spinach. If you want to add the arugula and green onion in here you can as well, but I do those as another layer closer to the top of the spread. After you put them in the food processor, these pieces of greens become so tiny that you can literally sprinkle them on top of the zucchini shreds. Green snow! ;)

If you want to use a few of the spinach or arugula leaves as bedding also between the zucchini layers, you are welcome to do so!

On top of the herbacious spread of "green snow" you will now make the Epic Raw Marinara and spread that on top. Please Note: I did something different than just pouring my marinara onto the lasagna. I didn't want it to become watery, so I strained the epic raw marinara dressing to make it thicker. This worked fabulously! It may take some shaking with a strainer, but it will strain. Drink the yummy tomato juice afterwards!

Family reunion weekend!

It's been a few days since I have been here..  I have been at my family reunion for the weekend.  This was super difficult due to eating all raw foods.   I do have to say my family was really supportive of me and I really appreciated it.  The hardest time must have been when they had pot luck bacon and potatoes, BBQ chicken and peach cobbler.  I planned ahead by making some yummy raw almond joy treats and bought some raw meals at Gingers cafe in Springville, Utah.  

I was surprised that many of my siblings tried the raw treats and actually liked them..  :)
This showed me that all things are possible!
Eating raw food has helped me heal emotionally and I feel so much better than I did in the past.
So onward with the journey...  today is day 17!

Although I have not lost any weight so far I have lost inches.  I revived a compliment today "you look smaller"... this made my day!  

I went to dinner tonight with my son to a local Mexican restaurant casa veda I believe its called.  I struggled with not eating the chips and salsa and chips with the tropical guacamole, however they were super nice and prepared me a low temp fajita with onions, peppers and pineapple that was divine and considered raw due to the temperature..  It was Delicious!  So thankful for everyone's support!
