Hi Bloggie Friends! Well, the week’s half over and that’s a nice feeling , well for me it is! It seems life is busy and crazy as usual ’round here! I am trying to find my Inner Zen , I tell you! My email box and box of life, so to speak, is always overflowing! And, I am off to teach a hot power yoga class after I publish this little diddy. What’s been going on with you on this Vegan Vednesday ? Are you getting excited for Vegan Thursday ? Maybe my recipes today will give you some raw vegan dinner inspirations!

Then I made the Red Marinara Sauce : Tomatoes, Red Pepper, Carrots (for a touch of natural sweetness) , Basil, Oregano. No Garlic or Onions in mine, but you could if you like those flavors. And Blend to desired consistency.

The entire raw vegan homemade meal, including appliance cleanup , takes 15-20 minutes. Seriously fast, easy, and delish.

Optional Add-In’s, Extras, Tips, & Tweaks: Garlic, Onions or other spices you enjoy in the sauce Mushrooms Tofu Meatballs/Sausage Nut/Bean “Burger” Pieces Real Beef or Turkey Meatballs for the non-vegetarian in your life Use Store-Bought Pasta Sauce Use “Regular” Pasta Noodles but make your own sauce *Plate it up and try it at room temp and if it’s not working for you, zap it for 45 seconds in the microwave . Sometimes I do this for Scott. Y ou’re still getting the benefits of a vegan homemade meal, and you’re not cooking the crap out of it nutrients out of it for hours, rather just warming it a bit. If you have a dehydrator , you could also pop your plated meal into the dehydrator and let it warm up that way to preserve the raw status, if that’s important to you .
