cucumber noodles in peanut sauce

i know that for many of you are still fighting through winter weather, but we've been having a heat wave (or maybe this is normal for the desert?) and i've been craving light, vegetable based meals.  although having eaten this twice this week, i have to admit i'd probably eat it in the snow too.  i'd just pair it with a bowl of miso soup to warm me at the end.  i hope you love it as much as i do!  xx- sarah   {recipe after the jump}

zucchini pasta, another raw favorite!

ok, don't hate me! i know this is the second raw meal in one week and you're probably somewhere cold and craving holiday goodies and soups.  but i can't help myself!  i was so excited to try this raw zucchini pasta after spotting some in the erewhon pre-made food section. i have a serious love of spaghetti but i don't eat it that often because i don't have a pasta maker and try my best to avoid processed foods.  so i've been on the hunt for something to fill that pasta-loving hole in my heart!  and i promise, even though it's not cooked it's still really satisfying and yummy!  the tool to make the zucchini pasta, a spiralizer, is not expensive and can be used for all kinds of fun things. recipe and probably a few too many photos after the jump...

a perfectly raw and tasty lunch- collard wraps!

i've always been fascinated by raw foodists and what they're eating.  for a few days before and a few days after my cleanse i was eating only raw fruits and veggies and i felt amazing.  so i committed to trying to incorporate more raw meals into my diet.  or at the very least consume more raw fruits/veggies! this is one of my first attempts at a raw meal.  i loved it! and even skeptical beet-fearing lou said "i would eat that" when he tried it.  WIN!  details and recipe after the jump.
