Healthy Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (Jennifer Cornbleet)

Unknown
Meal ideas courtesy Jennifer Cornbleet of Raw Food Made Easy.

BREAKFAST:
*Stewed Prunes and Apricots
Simmer the fruit on low for 10 minutes with a bit of grapefruit or orange segments, and some fennel seeds and a couple of cinnamon sticks. Eat it plain or over quinoa. 

LUNCH: If you’re out and about at a salad bar, get a bed of greens (spinach, lettuce, or arugula), and then get some bean or veggie soup and pour it over the greens! It wilts and warms the greens, but doesn’t cook them, so you’re still getting some raw greens in the meal. 

*Steamed Root Vegetable Medley 
Steam root vegetables such as sweet potatoes, beets, parsnips, and carrots - it only takes about 10 minutes! Then top with a little avocado, olive oil, or ghee (clarified butter) and spices and/or fresh herbs, such as cumin, cardamon, mustard seeds, fresh or dried ginger, sumac, or chopped cilantro, dill, or tarragon. 

DINNER: *Quinoa with Brussels Sprouts and Kabocha or Acorn Squash
Here’s how to make the brussels sprouts - steam them until bright green. Then cut in half, and add a bit of coconut oil and spices. Bake until just golden. You can do the same with the squash - toss with a bit of coconut oil and spices and bake until golden. You could turn this meal “holiday” by adding a few dried cranberries to the quinoa. You could serve this meal with a wedge of avocado on the side if you like. And if you want more protein in the meal, add some tempeh, cubed and sautéed with a bit of coconut oil and spices. Now it’s a feast!

  • 14 ounces water
  • 1 cup salt-free salsa
  • Salt-free seasoning, to taste

Quick Sun Dried Tomato Marinara


Ingredients
  • 1 cup oil-free sun dried tomatoes, soaked in water
  • 3-4 fresh Roma tomatoes (approximately 12 ounces)
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded (approximately 8 ounces)

Serve over your favorite healthy noodles such as those made from rice, tofu, sea vegetables or zucchini. To make zucchini noodles, peel zucchini and then make noodles using a Spiralizer, Saladacco or vegetable peeler. 
Chef's Note: If you have a high-powered blender, you can make this sauce hot right in the blender.

Aunt Melony's Caesar Salad Dressing


Ingredients
  • 2 cups water
  • 1x15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3/4 cup lemon juice
  • 4 Tablespoons low sodium miso
  • 6 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
Instructions
  1. Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Add xanthan gum and blend again briefly. 
Chef's Note: This dressing is delicious on baked potatoes and steamed veggies.

Ginger Slaw


Ingredients
Slaw:
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
  • 2 cups jicama (cut into long thin strips)
  • Cilantro and pumpkin seeds for garnish (optional)
Dressing:
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • Juice of one lime, plus zest
  • 1/2 ounce fresh ginger, pressed
Instructions
  1. Combine vegetables in a large bowl. Whisk dressing ingredients together and pour over vegetables. Garnish with cilantro and/or pumpkin seeds if desired. 

Sweet Potato Soup with Cannelini Beans and Rainbow Chard


You can also make this soup with butternut squash or white potatoes in place of the sweet potatoes. 

Ingredients
  • 8 cups water or low sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 Tablespoons sun-dried tomato powder
  • 2 leeks (approximately 6 ounces), thinly sliced
  • 2-3 large sweet potatoes (2 pounds), peeled and cut into uniform cubes
  • 2 cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 pound rainbow chard, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (with zest from lemons) 
Instructions
  1. In a large soup pot, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and add the leeks. Cook for about 8 minutes until soft. Add diced sweet potatoes and cook another 8-10 minutes until tender. Add the beans and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove soup pot from heat and stir in chard so that it wilts. Stir in lemon juice and sun-dried tomato powder. Sprinkle chopped Italian parsley on top, if desired, and garnish with a fresh lemon twist. The preparation for this soup can be done in advance. You can have the leeks sliced, the sweet potatoes diced, the beans rinsed, the chard chopped, the juice squeezed and the water measured out. Then it takes only 20 minutes to cook it. This recipe can easily be doubled. 
Chef's Note: With the bright orange sweet potatoes, white beans, and rainbow colored chard, this is a very pretty soup. But if you can't find rainbow chard, feel free to substitute Swiss chard or any greens such as collards, spinach or kale.

Chopped Broccoli Salad with Tahini Soy Dressing

Makes about 6 servings.

Notes
This salad is lightly dressed. Add more soy & tahini if you want more flavor.

Ingredients
  • 1 bunch fresh Broccoli, chopped into bite sized pieces (about 5-6 cups).

  1. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add broccoli, reduce heat to medium high and blanch for 2-3 minutes (depending on how crisp you want it.) Immediately drain the broccoli and submerge it in ice water to halt cooking. Remove broccoli from water and chop into small bite sized pieces.

Over the Rainbow Cabbage Salad with Tahini-Lemon Dressing (oh she glows)

Unknown
Over the Rainbow Cabbage Salad with Tahini-Lemon Dressing

Source: oh she glows.

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients
  • About 6-7 cups of roughly chopped red/purple cabbage (I used 1/4 of a large cabbage)
  • 1 carrot, shaved with a peeler into 2-3 inch strips
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 handfuls of fresh parsley, chopped finely (or use other herb)
  • Half a batch of Lightened Up Tahini-Lemon Dressing (or make the full batch and save for later)
  • 3-4 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds (or use hemp, sunflower, etc)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste ( I used Herbamare)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325F. Toast the seeds for about 8-10 minutes, watching closely. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add several cups of water into a kettle and bring to a boil. Lightly rinse the cabbage and slice in half, through the stem. Slice each half, in half again and roughly chop. You’ll want about 6-7 cups.
  3. Add chopped cabbage into a strainer in the sink and pour the boiling water over top. Quickly rinse with cold water. This helps soften the cabbage slightly. Roughly dry the cabbage with a hand towel.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the chopped celery, pepper, cabbage, shaved carrot, and parsley.
  5. Prepare the dressing by whisking all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. The salad tastes best when the dressing is mixed just before serving, so I suggest you portion out how much salad you will be eating for the meal and then add on your desired amount of dressing & mix well. Wrap up any leftover salad and place in the fridge and do the same with the leftover dressing.
Note: I wasn’t sure if I would like this salad so I didn’t make a crazy amount, but next time I would probably double the salad (and make the original dressing amount) to use up more of the cabbage. I had about 3/4 of the cabbage leftover!
