Ah, Valentines Day. If you ask me, everyday should be Valentines Day.  I like a good theme so I couldn’t resist serving pink and red menu items.

Today started out with some strawberry banana nut smoothies for breakfast. Soak 8 walnuts (per smoothie) in water for about 10 minutes. While they’re soaking cut up about 1 cup of strawberries (per smoothie) and place them inside the blender. Next add 2 bananas (per smoothie) and about 1/4 cup of water (per smoothie).  Blend until…blended!

For dinner I made raw spaghetti take 2. I made the noodles using peeled zucchinis sliced in my spiral slicer. For the sauce I pulsed 1/2 cup white onion, 2 garlic coves (peeled), 2 tablespoons Nama Shoyu, 2 tablespoons raw olive oil, 4 basil leaves, 1/2 cup of green pepper, 3/4 cup shredded broccoli and the juice of 1 lemon in the bowl of a food processor. Next I added 1 cup of raw sun dried tomatoes (soaked) and 3 tomatoes cut into 4ths. I pulsed this until the tomatoes were chunked but not blended.

Plate the “zoodles” and pour some sauce over. Once plated, I added some dried oregano and red pepper flakes to my bowl.
