Day #255 Meatballs and Cream pg. 97 entertaining in the raw
April 4, 2010
HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!
Today was a great day with the family. Our day started out with a kayaking trip down the Withlacoochee River, then some lunch at home. We went to my parents and had great conversations and yummy food. My Easter dinner was a simple salad, with Balsamic Vinegar. I do love salad!
I made meatballs today and the cashew cream to go with the avgolemono that I will make tomorrow.
Meatball Ingredients
portobello mushroom caps
walnuts
tahini
olive oil
zucchini
parsley
salt and pepper
The Meatballs were made in the food processor until fully pureed, then I formed them into small balls. I have made these before but I ate them before I could make the entire recipe. They are so divine with raw marinara and zuke spaghetti. These stay in the dehydrator for 5 hours. I will just keep them in overnight.
Cream Ingredients
cashews
water
agave
salt
oregano
I blended all ingredients in blender until smooth.
This recipe will be done tomorrow. I still have to buy jicama, so hopefully the store has it. Jason and I will eat this lovely meal together. Like I said, I am not eating agave, it is not really because of the hype about how it’s like corn syrup, it’s really a choice a have made and have been trying to make for so long. My addiction to sugar is very much the truth and as long as I keep it out of my diet, I am fine, and I don’t crave it. I am sure many people have this problem. So I will not use the cream but I will definitely eat the meatballs!!! They are oooohhhh so fabulous.
Hope everyone had a great Easter! When I think of what happened 2000 years ago, it reminds me of how fortunate I am to have read the teachings of my wonderful Savior and I am Forgiven!
