For some reason the picture didn't take well???...anyway, my daughter was happy.
Lately I have been neglecting my kitchen duties...we have plenty of raw foods...fruits, veggies etc. But as the week went on I have not really been preparing dishes. We have been eating all the leftover soups and salads...so when my hubby got home last night he was ready for something different. I didn't have anything new....so today is kitchen duty
I am thankful for my hardworking husband who provides the $$$ so that we can eat this way. BTW~He is still high raw, looking good and maintaining his weight loss.

Raw Almond Mayo Recipes
BLACK BEAN SOUP
BLACK BEANS
(I forgot to soak them so I par-boiled them in the pressure cooker~drained them and added enough water to cover.. placed them in the crock pot
in the Vita-mix set on #2
I placed:
1 yellow onion quartered
7 cloves of fresh garlic
ran it til it was chopped nicely and added it to the crock
added:
1 piece of Wakame
Cook until done. These will last for a few days. Each day I usually change them up a bit by adding a new spice or other ingred...like tomatos, rice, taco seasoning..etc
