raw soup goodness
seventh heaven soup from LifeFood Recipe Book by David and Annie Jubbs c. 2003
1/4 cup freshly ground sesame seed, or 4 TBs raw tahini
1/2 cucumber, with peel
1 red pepper, cored and deseeded
1 medium tomato
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 TBs ginger root, peeled and chopped
3 whole cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1 cup cilantro, chopped and loosely packed
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped and firmly packed
2 heaping TBs unpasteurized miso
2 TBs Bragg Liquid Aminos or Shoyu soy sauce
4 TBs cold-pressed oil like extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tps cayenne pepper, to taste
1 heaping TB nutritional yeast
2.5 cups charged water
Grind the sesame seed to a moist meal in your grinder; it only takes a few seconds. Cut all vegetables into chunks and put all ingredients together in the blender and blend together. Depending on how much gusto your blender has, you may have to shred harder vegetables, or blend in 2 bathed if the vessel is smaller.
Garnish with Spirulina flakes and a few dashes of good oil. Store sealed in the refrigerator for up to 36 hours. I added 2 soft boiled eggs and grape tomatoes, a swirl of coconut oil and sprinkles of tumeric, black pepper and gochugaru— a korean red pepper flake (고추가루).

tiger new year/valentine's frittata
saute 1/2 cup red onion in a few swirls of coconut oil. add 4-5 spears of lacinato kale (halfed lengthwise then julienned). Beat 2 eggs with a drop of coco oil and add sauted veggies and a clove of minced garlic. Add a bit more oil to the pan with a smidge of butter. add egg mixture back to pan. Cook a few minutes, slide onto plate and flip back on to pan for a couple more minutes. If you use farm fresh eggs no need to cook so long as I've read that raw eggs are very good for you and there is very little chance of samonella. Then sprinkle with turmeric, black pepper, cayenne, drizzle with sweet chili sauce for chicken and I like tabasco added too.
For this particular one I added chopped parsley, a carrot ginger dressing, nutritional yeast and sliced grape tomatoes.
