raw burritos!

my friend vanessa and i made lunch the other day. it was so much fun!

i made a salsa with tomatoes, red pepper, cilantro, lime and chili and guacamole with avocado (duh), lime and some spices. vanessa made the "meat" with mushrooms, sprouts, walnut butter, sprouted chickpea miso, seeds (i think sunflower?), some Braggs and spices (including chili and cumin).

we left the collards whole (i usually cut the stem off) and instead wrapped up our goods and twisted off the stem to eat on its own! so sweet and fresh and crunchy! 

 gorgeous, right?

p.s. if you want a concrete recipe to follow, this looks like a good one!

seattle!!!

i finally got to try some raw places in seattle... the day before i left for korea. i got to stock up on some raw snacks for my trip too which was awesome. hurrah for terra organica in bellingham on the way and whole foods (one of them!) in seattle on the way back for the sales and stuff i can't get in canada!

i had some chocolate mint pudding from happy day raw foods and a "happy herb" bar from gopal's for breakfast. was really craving savoury things after this though.

 went to chaco canyon in the university district for lunch. had the raw burrito and a green goddess juice.

 my friend had the ginger sesame bowl (featuring kelp and zucchini noodles) and maybe it was the boost juice? i was quite happy to finish her meal when she couldn't!

 later, for dinner, we shared a raw chili con marvelous at thrive. it was AWESOME and i'm excited to try replicate it at home when i get home. the manager (and everyone else we came in contact with) was super friendly and i enjoyed this place more than chaco canyon...
