this isn’t so much a recipe as a suggestion because it’s so simple. it’s also something i eat every single day. i’m a creature of habit and when i find something i love i usually eat it non stop until the day comes when the idea of it turns my stomach. i expect i’ll be eating one of these a day at least through august. the perfect light and healthy meal for midday. and, the secret ingredient gives it just the kick i need to fully satisfy. {more after the jump, including an animation!}
the weather here was amazing this weekend, i actually enjoyed a couple hours of sunning pool side! and please don’t hate me if you’ve just come in from digging your car out of a snowbank- i did close to 18 winters in maine, i can feel your pain. and your frozen toes. ahhhhhhh! don’t worry, this soup will warm you up.
as much as i love this warm weather it’s strange because it’s JANUARY! so to make it feel wintry in the best possible way i cooked up this carrot ginger soup. it’s my first time making a cashew cream and i apologize in advance if my next ten recipes are nothing more than excuses to drench something (anything!) in it. i’ve fallen ass over teakettle in love. i may have even proposed marriage somewhere between tasting it with a sprig of thyme and mixing in curry powder. *sigh*
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.
