I hope you guys will enjoy this healthy and super tasty dish. Takes max 30 minutes and I am sure you’ll get 10 points for it. I did.
Eat well, live well!

What a great idea, Zuchini as pasta noodles! I'm gonna have to write a list for this one. Anymore 'complex' dishes like this you can share?

Looking forward to that Recipe thread Ele. Maybe we can all make up a superb Avalonian dish.

Great thread... Vegan here in Los Angeles. Had four friends go veggie last month. Three of them vegan right off. Pretty amazing. The key to health and healing the planet is to stop all killing of sentient beings.

A recipe thread will be a great idea. Eating healthy can be such a creative process and my culinary skills are a bit lacking…I mostly eat out. I'm looking forward to discovering a few more tasty dishes to put on my menu, as of right now PJ and grilled cheese sandwitches are near the top of my list. lol you guys are starting to make me hungry over here…

Peace

I'm about to get myself a food processor and am wondering if anyone here can recommend a good one?
The ones I've been checking out locally are plastic, and I'd prefer a glass one, much easier to clean and a little healthier.

Am away right now but wanted to post a delicious breakfast smoothie we enjoyed the other day (it's not low fat BTW)....

1 young coconut - flesh and water
1 avocado
1/2 lemon or lime juiced
vanilla pod powder or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
pinch salt (I used pink salt)

Blend and enjoy!

And my fave green juice

1 head celery
1 cucumber
1 granny smith or other green apple
1 lemon peeled
1 thumb sized knob of ginger
1 bunch of cilantro

Wash all, juice and enjoy!

I made up one of those 'search through fridge and cupboards to see what I can find' salads today, but it was actually pretty good!

Simple and quick
Raw mashed cauliflower salad

Ingredients for two:
Half a head of cauliflower
Two carrots
One or Two avocadoes (to your taste)
Fresh raisins (to taste)

Directions
In a large bowl:
Crush cauliflower into tiny pieces (I just used my fingers)
Grate the Carrots (With peels on for more vitamins)
Add avocadoes and raisins and stir everything together quite well.

Thats it , quick munchy

Eleni I'm glad you mentioned the granny smith apples, it's a good point to bring up. For those that aren't aware, many apples have been modified to have up to 40x more sugar then they should, such as the red delicious brand.

gravenstein apples are one of my faves if you can find them. Here in BC the grossery stores only sell modified garbage aside from granny smith now and again.. I can only get the good apples in the summer from local farmers markets.
