A Days Worth of Recipes

Carob Breakfast Pudding

Sprouty Citrus Salad

Marinated Mushrooms and Spinach

I thought I would share a days worth of meals again. I always like to see people's daily menus; it inspires me to be creative with my own menu. This day I started out with my favorite carob pudding. I can eat this any time of day, I really like it. I decided to top it with fresh banana and my buckwheat krispies. Wonderful! It kept me so satisfied. This is a great filling breakfast for those days when you know lunch might be later than usual.

For lunch I had a refreshing sprouty citrus salad. I love finding all kinds of ways to incorporate my sprouts into recipes.

For dinner I adapted a recipe from $10 a Day and served it on top of some raw organic spinach. It went so well together that I will always prepare it this way. I really love this recipe. Here are all three recipes. Hope you can try them soon.

~JMJ~ Today I am grateful for our new pool!! We put up our new above-the-ground pool yesterday. Today I will be hooking up the filtration and our salt water pump. We only use salt water systems to clean our pools. We absolutely love the salt water pools. It is so gentle on the skin and the environment. Get Swimming and Eat More Raw!
