Breakfast - Hippie Porridge

- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups raw pecans, soaked
Place all ingredients into your Vita-Mix or other blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. You can either chill or serve at room temperature.
Note: This is very hugh fat and high calorie recipe. My "Hippie" loves this recipe before leaving the house to work 12 hours doing a very physical job. It keeps him happy for many hours..
Lunch - Melissa'a Olive Salad
- 1 cup fresh peas (or frozen organic peas)
- 1/2 cup diced carrots
- 1/2 cup sundried olives, pitted and diced
- 4 teaspoons freshly squeezed orange juice
Place all ingredients into a serving bowl. Stir. Chill for approx. 2 hours - allowing for the flavours to combine. Serve all by itself or over a bed of your favourite variety of greens.
Dinner - Zucchini Primavera
Pasta:
- 8 small zucchini
Shred using your saladacco or food processor.
Sauce:
- 3 large tomatoes
- 1 large handful of sun-dried tomatoes (soak to soften unless they have been soften in oil already)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 handful of fresh basil
- 1/2 handful fresh oregano
- 1/4 onion
- 1/2 lemon juiced
Blend all of the ingredients in your Vita-Mix or food processor. Place the pasta on a plate and spoon the sauce over the pasta. You may either place fresh veggies such as broccoli, celery, carrots, squash and/or mushrooms on the top or enjoy it simply by adding a sprinkle of nutritional yeast to the top as a an alternative to cheese. Serve with a fresh, tasty side salad at room temperature.
Enjoy! Melissa & "Boys"
