Sunday for Primavera

Hello Everybody

Hope your Memorial weekend is going well.
The early rain did not stop New Yorkers from entering Central Park. People are out there setting up their picnic areas with big plastic bags underneath them.

"Happiness is" getting to walk my friend Mr. Bo Jo this morning. He was happy to see me too.




These Mushrooms or fungus resemble the shape of a morning glory flower. I don't know what kind of fungus it is or is it edible. If central park was free of harmful bacteria, I would have free mushrooms. I think one of these would make an attractive garnish. I would add one of them on the side of the Zucchini Primavera recipe from the "Raw Food For Everyone" by Alissa Cohen. I topped mine with a Parmesan cheese made of cashews. The dish in the book calls for the Pine Nut Romano.
The Raw cheese takes a little time to make. I don't do that as of yet. I do a quick version of raw cheese.





ZUCCHINI PRIMAVERA

1 cup of cashews
1 cup pine nuts
1 cup fresh basil leaves
4 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 large zucchinis, peeled into wide strips with a vegetable peeler
4 cups assorted unroasted vegetables for example : broccoli, carrots, corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, snap peas, cauliflower, bell pepper, and peas, tossed with extra virgin olive oil, grated garlic, salt and pepper and dehydrate for 3 hours.
splash of extra virgin olive oil


1. Put the cashews, pine nuts, basil, 2 of the garlic cloves, the salt, and pepper in a vita-mix. Add 2 cups of water and blend until very smooth. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

2. Toss the zucchini pasta and warm-from -the-dehydrator vegetables with about half of the basil cream sauce, adding more as necessary. Divide among 4 plates. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle on some salt and cheese shaving. Serve immediately.
Enjoy with your friends !



Sorry for the mess in the picture. A tenant was either moving out our in, so the back entrance has left over debris .
My outfit has been recycled. My grey sweater is now short sleeve. The once over-stretched lavender sweater was re-sewn and made into a tank top. The light color skirt was once a weird fitting dress. I cut the top section off and added rubber in the waist. I'm wearing grey rain boots from Hunter.


Thank You for Reading
Peace and Light to You.
