raw nut pate nori rolls

i didn't think i needed a sushi mat, but it helps so much!

my brother and his wife sent me this sushi set for my birthday a couple years ago.

last roll =/

nut pate rolls inspired by ani phyo eco lifestyle and raw foods. inside the non toasted nori wraps is a carrot ginger nut pate and spinach! this was super simple, under $5 dollars for 2 servings and so delicious/ nutritious!

Summer

swimming!

is in full force. that means yummy berries, swimming, lunches outside and beautiful skies. i spent my late week in castle rock with my friends and family again. it's so relaxing to get away from your life!

avocado

i made a kale salad, with random scraps of veggies

and spiced avocados for lunch.

spicy bell pepper marinara

tossed with zucchini noddles.

and sprinkled with raw almesean! fresh raw pasta before a long day is really rejuvenating.

summer squash spiraled into noodles.

yummy halved grape tomatoes

for this pesto recipe (inspired by choosing raw) i used local organic basil, which is so yummy and fresh. what a wonderful dish to start the day with!
