Raw Dish!

Breakfast- 1/2 watermelon

Lunch- almost 1/2 watermelon

Dinner- wedge of watermelon, raw marinara sauce served over shredded zucchini, Romaine lettuce, sliced cucumber, with avocado and sliced black olives

Jennifer Cornbleet's marinara sauce was so delicious on Thursday that I had to make it again on Friday.  It was so satisfying that as I spooned up the last drop from the bottom of the bowl I just savored it, already thinking about when I would prepare it again.

I varied it on Friday.  I have some pine nuts that need to be eaten so I tossed in a handful or more(I didn't measure.) and processed the sauce with the pinenuts.  The result was a creamy consistency that bore a faint resemblance to a cooked sauce that has had a healthy measure of parmesan cheese stirred into it. 

I've gotta say that I really like the three raw meals a day with no snacks plan that I am currently following.  I need to plan ahead, but even so, I feel less preoccupied with eating; it takes up less space in my thinking and in my day.  I eat what I need, I enjoy it, and it's done.
