The last several days have been busy, and although I had taken pictures of some of the food we have been consuming, I have not had a chance to process them... So... instead of waiting, I will add a recipe and add a picture to it later on this weekend.
One of my husband's absolute favorite soups is Split Pea. Now, for a man that used to think that he is simply unable to eat soups to have a favorite soup is quite impressive. I tried making many different soups to see if Demetrye can be "won" over to be a soup eater and had come up with a couple of favorites. So, without further due, here is...
Split Pea Soup
Ingredients
(makes enough to feed 4 people for a couple of days ;))
In the last few days we had also enjoyed cucumber salad made with avocados, raw salsa and chips, green smoothies, quinoa pasta, chili and many other wonderful dishes.
Today's Green Smoothie was super delicious
Radish Greens Smoothie
We are now nearly half way through the month, so hand in there. Let me know how you are doing :)
And remember to live an UNPROCESSED LIFE!
