Living Rawesome Day #236 Summer Rolls pg. 104 everyday raw
March 18, 2010
I made almond butter a few days ago in my Champion Juicer. I used about 3 cups of almonds, so I had so much almond butter left that I figured I would use some and make these delicious summer rolls.
I previously made the chile-macadamia nuts and spicy almond dressing. I had to make the dressing again, but the mac nuts were in my refrigerator. I decided to make this dinner for Jason tonight.
Summer Rolls Ingredients
Chili-Lime Macadamia Nuts
Spicy Almond Dressing
2 collard leaves, cut in half with ribs removed(I used lettuce wraps, the collards were inedible)
1 carrot, julienned
1/2 cucumber, cut into strips (I used zuke, because Jason feels flush in the face when he eats cukes)
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
Black Sesame Seeds
I first mixed some dressing and mac nuts together, I lined the lettuce leaf with the mixture. I placed the carrots, zucchini, and yellow pepper on top of the dressing. I rolled the leaves up and used a little dressing to keep the wraps together. This didn’t work as well as I would have liked, but I made a little zucchini cup with carrot shapes around it. I tried to make a sunshine or flower but I don’t think it looks like either. I guess, use your imagination.
This dressing, it is one of my favorites! I am going to bring a beautiful salad, along with the Spicy Almond Dressing to the Gathering on Tuesday.
I have been cleaning ever since I got home. Our washing machine was clogged so I couldn’t do dishes, but my hero, Jason fixed the washer this morning. Poor guy, I woke him in a bit of rage because I couldn’t do dishes. I already had the two sinks full and I really wanted to finish the kitchen. It is my favorite place in the house right now, after this project is over, who knows. I will probably start on some other endeavor with creating a quest for food and me:) Hint, hint.
I am in desperate need of a shopping trip, my L.O.V.E. Food Prep Class is in 2 days and I don’t have all of the necessary ingredients, but I am close. I went to look at the classroom yesterday, to see how much room I will have in the kitchen. To my surprise the size of the sink and the space in the kitchen, were more spacious than I thought. I will not be in the kitchen that much, I just mainly need it for washing dishes and setting food that I make prior to the class. I am going to set up my Vita-mix and Food Processor on a table in the main room and set the chairs close so everyone can see. I have been planning the seating arrangement in my head. I have been extremely nervous, but after doing the meetings with Marsha, and the Green Smoothie Demo yesterday, I will be READY! It will be the best food prep class EVER! 
I am calling it a night on my blog, I am going to go shopping and buy my much needed toilet paper and the other items that I have been putting off. When you are out of everything except t.p., it’ okay until the t.p. is on the last layer, then, IT’S TIME TO SHOP! I am going to go and love the crowd at Walmart. I decided that I am going to give a nice card to someone, and brighten their day! It will be fun to see what his or her face looks like. I am trying to do the work that I am supposed to do for this week’s Unity lesson.
I just love to be in the flow of life.
Beautiful!
