I also got a medium container of broccoli rabe. Sorry about the sideways picture. This was okay. I think I (or anyone in my or T's family) can make it a lot better! ;) It was kind of dry and bitter. They obviously didn't blanch it first. Normally I don't mind the bitterness, but without any olive oil to help, it wasn't the greatest.
I was really looking forward to a sandwich. They only had one vegan option though. I got raw veggies with hummus on a whole wheat wrap. This was pretty tasty. The hummus was really flavorful. I really look forward to my "weekend sandwich" and this wasn't what I wanted, but it turned out to be worth it in the end. Yum!
A few months back, T and I stopped by my Naunee's house to check out the garage sale she was having. T was really excited to see she had an old fashion pasta maker. So I told him to steal it, and we did! Ha ha! Naunee thought someone else had stolen it and was worried, so we had to tell her it was us. But she didn't care, she gave it to us anyway.. for free! Naunee is a hip lady, she has been doing Jazzercise and walking daily for 40 years! She rocks! She even wears the cutest clothes and always has gorgeous shoes on. I told her I am going to be like her when I am old! :) So anyway, for dinner on Sunday T and I finally broke out our pasta maker and made some semolina/whole wheat pasta! YUM! Nothing tops that! For a sauce, we made Happy Herbivore's scampi! They didn't have oyster mushrooms at the store, so we got a mushroom blend that had them in it. I also added a little whole wheat flour to thicken up the sauce and a TON of parsley..mmm.. I LOVE PARSLEY! It tasted more like a pasta picatta because of the changes I made.. but it was soooo flavorful and delicious! I suggest everyone makes it, because it is that good! T looooved it!
I be back soon with some raw yummies! I finally used my dehydrator yesterday! :) Stay tuned!

woo! I'm glad you liked it-- love the idea of thickening the sauce... and homemade pasta? what could ever top that? you're so talented!
Hooray for Whole Foods (mine is about 10-15 minutes away too!! Which is why I'm there 2-3 times per week, haha) and for Lindsay's amazing dishes!!
I love homemade pasta! I made some last night too! What recipe did you use? Mine was a bit too wet.
I couldn't find a recipe that didn't use eggs, so we just based ours from one and omitted the eggs.. we started with 1/4 cup of water and if that was to dry we'd add more, if we added to much we added more flour. We improvised! :)
whole foods is amazing.. but sometimes their food isnt as great as is looks. Im glad you ended up enjoying your wrap though!!
do you use your dehydrator often>?? i have been thinking very seriously about getting one
Hey! Yesterday was the first tiem I've used it. i got it for Christmas and I have been to lazy during the day to get stuff in it. I loved it! I made kale chips and they were sooooo good! I'll post more about it soon! :)
wrap looks beautiful, mushrooms look beautiful..... i'm seeing a pattern here!
also, i tried a bunch of new raw bars this week and i totally thought of YOU! i thought, ahh she will be so proud! i love seeing all the amazing things you eat, it has really inspired me to branch out a little bit in the food department. so thanks for that!
sorry the broccoli was a bit disappointing, glad the soup 'n wrap were tasty though!
that's too funny on the pasta maker! isn't homemade pasta THE BEST?!? it's hard to do store-bought after you've had homemade. your dish looks amazing & sounds sooo delicious, too! parsley = yummmmmm!
hooray for a super fun sunday, and i can't wait to see what you've been un-cook'n!
