RAW Living and Learning

In my previous post I said I would share my recipe for these yummy vegan sushi wraps. They are as simple as cutting, smashing, spreading and rolling. To start I finely sliced some organic white cabbage, diced an organic sweet onion and smashed a clove or two of garlic.    The next step is to smash one small Haas avocado with the fresh garlic, using the back of a fork. This will be the spread for the Nori sheets. We have organic Nori at the local Whole Foods but I prefer to order Raw Nori wraps on-line. Here are the ones I have to buy locally when I run out of my raw wraps. Take a sheet of Nori and spread on a thin layer of the avocado and garlic. Now the fun begins, just start piling on your favorite toppings.

I am so excited, I added two new raw products to my store. I have been looking for truly raw carob powder and raw nori wraps for quite a long time. No one in town sells them. Well I kept looking and I found them. I had to use lightly toasted nori for the sushi I posted yesterday. Once that bag is gone I will be ordering the raw nori!!  I just uploaded both products to my astore!! Here they are: Truly Raw Carob Powder a 16 oz bag and Raw Nori Wraps P.S. I am doing a little research. I have asked Whole Foods if they can find and order raw carob and raw nori. We shall see what they say. Plus I want to compare the price to the two products I found and added to my store. ~JMJ~ Today I am grateful for my oldest child. She is our only girl. I am so happy to see that as she grows she becomes more and more like her father. They both have such a calmness about them. It is just what I need to balance me. They both are so patient and kind. I am truly blessed. ...

I was so pleased with the results when I made this recipe. It actually is a recipe for a Sunflower Basil Salad. I decided to make it two ways.  I used some of it for my sushi filling and the rest to make salad wraps using romaine lettuce. I got the recipe from my copy of the book, The Raw Transformation . I mentioned before how much I like all of the recipes I have tried so far. This really is a great raw book. Here is the recipe: Sunflower Basil Salad Serves 6 1/4 C grated zucchini 1/4 C grated squash 1/4 C grated jicama 2 C sunflower sprouts, chopped 2 C firmly packed fresh basil 3 green onions, sliced thin 3 tomatoes, chopped bite size 1/2 C sunflower seeds soaked overnight 1 large avocado, cubed 2 garlic, minced 1/2 tsp minced ginger 1/4 tsp minced jalapeno ( I used a pinch of red pepper flakes) 3 T first  cold pressed EVOO 1 T fresh lemon juice 1 tsp sea salt 1 tsp onion powder Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, adding spices, oil, and lemon juice last.
