We made it another 2 days (minus Wednesday supper)! Pictured above are the banana crackers I made in the dehydrator (from soaked flax seeds, bananas, and fresh squeezed orange juice). They're actually pretty good with raw almond butter on them. The kids and David are hanging in there. They really have been pretty good sports about the whole thing. But I could tell they all appreciated the "break" we took for supper on Wednesday night.
On Tuesday, though, we managed to discover some raw food we all really liked! Well, okay, just Harrison and I really loved the zucchini pasta marinara; David liked the sauce; and Veronica and Violet didn't like anything about it. You can see the zucchini "pasta" pictured below along with the sauce and our salad fixings. I think it's really fun to make the pasta too. I have a veggie "spiralizer" that can be used to turn raw veggies into either thin ribbons or thin angelhair pasta-like strands. The sauce has lots of the same ingredients as regular marinara sauce--it's just not cooked.
The one thing that everyone loved (sorry no picture) was the banana ice cream. It's just frozen bananas "creamed" in the blender. I used my Ninja. I had tried to do this in the past, but wasn't patient enough. It also helped to add a little water. But if you blend long enough, the bananas really do turn into the consistency of soft serve ice cream. It's so amazing! They are so creamy and yummy. Even Violet was licking her bowl.
