A Healthy Lunch Idea
Affiliate marketing, blog contests, lame attempts to get a front page Digg, enough! It’s time to take a break and have a healthy lunch.
Today I’m featuring our easy Thai recipe with vegetable pasta and it is one of my favorite dishes that Jean has whipped up. The sauce on the left is the actual Thai sauce that goes with the recipe and it’s made from soaked almonds, soaked dates, tahini, lemon juice, orange, ginger and garlic and is 100% raw. Use a food processor to mix all the ingredients together into a creamy texture.
The other sauce you see on the right is our raw marinara sauce and is made from sun-dried tomatoes, plum tomatoes, onions, herbamare, garlic, basil, medjool dates and the liquid from the soaked sun-dried tomatoes. Again, all that is chopped up in a food processor and completely raw. We don’t usually make this dish with 2 sauces, but we had some leftover marinara sauce and decided to eat it up.
Next comes the vegetable pasta which this time was a mix of, zucchini, sweet potatoes, carrots, summer squash, red pepper, green pepper, scallions and daikon radishes. You can really use just about any veggie you find in the fridge. The pasta is prepared with a spiralizer or spirooli which is a pretty cool contraption that cuts veggies to look like different kinds of pasta.
This is a nice healthy lunch idea that’s bursting with nutrition and won’t give you that ‘I need to take a nap’ feeling after a heavy meal. I don’t know about you, but when you work at home, it’s way to easy to sit on the couch in the afternoon and take a power nap, especially when you’ve eaten too much at lunch time. A meal like this helps to solve that problem.
