Zucchini is a great pasta substitute. You can put any of your favorite sauces on top of it like you would any pasta dish. Your favorite pesto recipe, sauteed veggies, Raw Alfredo sauce, marinara sauce… SO many possibilities!
This dish is raw spiral sliced zucchini with Kyle’s delicious cooked tomato sauce. It was fantastic!
Thank you Kyle! You are becoming quite the chef:}

Vegan
Mock Chicken Salad and dessert!
On our menu last night was a recipe for mock chicken salad. I did my own variation and it was delicious! Not totally raw but I did feel good and not weighed down.
My variation:
Ingredients:
3 cups sprouted garbanzo beans {chick peas}
Half of a small onion {red or yellow} Chopped
Half or whole carrot Chopped
1 Red bell pepper chopped
Vegan Mayo
Directions:
Put garbanzo beans, onion and carrot in food processor and pulse until you have a nice texture. {not mush}. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add chopped red pepper. Mix in vegan mayo as much or as little as you like. This is SO good! I had it with raw cabbage salad and some cucumbers:}
You can find the raw pudding on Organize Happy’s TV page under “Raw Hazelnut Pudding”. You can also purchase ‘everyday raw’ by Matthew Kenny from my resources page:}
Spaghetti Squash Dinner
Spaghetti squash is a great alternative to pasta. It was an experiment that I am quite happy with:}
First cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Then place face down on backing dish- 350 for 30 min.
Then cut up your veggies I used:
1. 4 cloves of Garlic
2. Half red onion
3. Half red bell pepper
4. A few grape tomatoes
5. One bunch of maitake mushrooms
6. Handful of baby spinach
Lightly cook the garlic and onion in cooking wine and shoyu. Then add the other veggies, spinach last.
Lastly scoop out the squash, which separates like spaghetti, and top with veggies. This dish could be substituted for a hearty pasta dish. It is very filling. Also add any veggies you would like:}
