Plans Are Meant to be Broken

I totally ditched the plan for dinner last night and went with my craving.  Raw pasta with marinara, and ice cream for dessert. 

Let us all pause for this moment of deliciousness...

Raw Marinara Sauce

1 roma tomato, chopped
5-6 sun dried tomatoes (I use costco's)
2 dates, pitted
1-2 garlic cloves
small wedge of onion
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1-2 teaspoons cold-pressed olive oil
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon sea salt


Blend in blender or food processor.  Mine heats it up but as far as I know, it's not exactly cheating.  Heh!  I could be wrong.


Normally my sauce is a little bit more red but I had to use grape tomatoes tonight and they seemed to give it more of an orange look.  Didn't matter though, twas excellent!

Creamy Raw Banana Cinnamon Ice Cream

2 cups cashews, soaked

2 bananas

1 cup almond milk

4 dates, soaked

juice of 1/2 lemon

1-2 Tablespoons raw agave or honey

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

dash of sea salt

Blend everything in vitamix or blendtec until SUPER smooth.  Pour into ice cream machine and let it run for around 20 minutes.  Place in freezer for an additional 20-30 minutes until hardened.  Top with almonds and serve.

Maybe even serve a top one of those raw brownies.  Um, yes, I think so.
