We ate at Cilantro Live for dinner. We dined at the one in Carlsbad (there are 4 of them in San Diego county). We ordered a sampler plate, a "margarita", and carrot cake for dessert. It was all really good and surprisingly filling. The sampler plate included 2 Nori Rolls, 1 Spring Roll, 1 Buenos Vida Wrap, 2 Raw-violis, 2 Mini -Pizzaza and a small House Salad. The margarita was crazy but yummy. It had green apple, lime, ginger and a pinch of ground cinnamon. The ginger gave it a serious kick. I've tried to reproduce the carrot cake, but I need to keep working on my recipe. Theirs was tasty.
Afterward we saw a (gasp) 9:20pm showing of Bourne Ultimatum. Man it was intense! It has the craziest fighting and chase scenes ever. It was a little over-the-top violent for me. But Caleb really liked it.
I have a great raw recipe to share. I took it to a BBQ and everyone liked it! (Randomly, I got it from the Tyra Banks website.)
The “Raw Food Diet” Recipe for Angel Hair Pasta and Marinara Sauce:
INGREDIENTS:
3 medium to large green zucchinis
4- 6 medium size roma tomatoes
12- 16 sun dried tomatoes, soaked
3 medjule dates, pitted and soaked
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic
2 Tablespoons parsley (dried okay)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne (or paprika)
Use your food processor to cut the zucchini into thin strips, reminiscent of angel hair pasta.(I cut these by hand since I don't have a food processor. But it took a while.) For the sauce, you don't need to chop or dice any of the ingredients. Simply combine all ingredients in the processor or a blender and blend. Let the sauce "marinate" the zucchinis for a couple of hours. Then serve!
(Recipe makes 8-11 cups)
Charis has been fascinated by my morning juicing. So she asked if she could make some for herself. I gladly agreed, and she proceeded to make herself cucumber, carrot, apple, celery juice. And she liked it!
