Day 11

It was such a gorgeous day today that we felt it would be a shame to stay at home.  Also, we had some errands to run including a visit to our "local" health food store.  I put quotations around "local" because it is about an hour's drive from us, but the closest one.  Supernutrition is located in Church Point on Nova Scotia's French Shore very close to Universite Sainte-Anne, Nova Scotia's only French university.  The drive along St. Mary's Bay was really beautiful with all of the lobster boats out checking traps on the calm water.  We haven't had a lot of calm days this month.

We arrived back home about mid-afternoon.  I really didn't feel like spending time in the kitchen today - which is very unusual for me.  So, I turned to a cook book that calls its recipes "simple and machine free".  The book is Raw Foods for Busy People by Jordan Maerin.  ISBN-13:  978-0-9774858-6-4 

 I haven't spent a lot of time with this book but I did remember a recipe using lentil sprouts.  I had some 2 day sprouts ready in the sprouter, so this seemed like the time to use them.

Sprouted Lentil Salad

1 1/2 cups sprouted Lentils

1 1/2 cups chopped ripe Tomatoes

1/2 cup each chopped Onion and Bell Pepper

2 tablespoons fresh Lemon Juice or Cider Vinegar

4 tablespoons Olive Oil

1 teaspoon Honey or Maple Syrup

Sea Salt to taste

Toss sprouted lentils with the rest of the ingredients and all to marinate at least one hour.

I served this over the left over Tossed Salad from yesterday noon.  We also had mashed Avocado on Ryveta Crackers (not raw).  To finish it off, we sampled the Raw Chocolate Cookies that came out of the dehydrator this morning.  A meal fit for royalty!
