FROM MY KITCHEN TO YOURS: CARLIFORNIA ROLLS (SUSHI MADE EASY)
Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by today to read my little insights. Today was a fantastic day. I woke up with joy on my face and a heart full of gratitude. So if you don't mind I want to take a few seconds and be thankful for all that I have.
To the Earth: Thank you for staying rich and resilient.
To the Trees: Without you there'd be no functional ecosystem, I thank you for that.
To the Fruits : For your sweetness ever true, you satisfy my sweet tooth like no other and enrich my insides with vitamins and minerals.
To Vegetables: Green and red and yellow, in vibrant colors you live to sustain my cells and build me up to the best of me.
To Seeds and Nuts: Nutty-nutty me loves you to pieces. You provide me with energy and good fats that melt away and never stay on my hips.
To the Sun: Queen of rainbows, excellent provider of vitamin D, without you I'd be oh, so gloomy.
To the Rain: Water, the giver of life, the purifier, eliminator and transporter. You wear many hats. My hats off to you.
To the Organic Farmers: You truly know what patience is all about. Thank you for caring and taking the time to grow all these foods with abundant love. Your love is felt and can be seen in the beauty of me.
To the Community of Raw foodists: Thanks for your constant support as seen in all the great cookbooks and blogs.
To God the creator and author of life: If we go back to basics as in the garden of Eden, that which you provided for Adam and Eve is all that we truly need to fully sustain us. After all, out of earth (dust) you made us and just makes sense that those things that grow alive out of this same dust are what we need to stay alive, in that way we can be in sync with our own. YOU are awesome!
I am very blessed and grateful that I have the opportunity to have what I have and be able to eat the way I eat. I am in constant praise and thanksgiving.
Today I made myself the easiest smoothie:
2 bananas
1/2 bunch of spinach
1.5 cups of water
A yummy-delicious-nutritious green rejuvenating elixir
I made the best tasting raw/vegan carlifornia rolls for lunch (sushi)
3 nori sheets
3 Tbsp peeled and grated parsnips (they look like albino carrots)
1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
1/2 cup clover sprout (or sprout of your choice)
drizzle of agave
drizzle of Bragg's aminos or nama Shoyu
Lay a nori sheet flat and brush down with a little water
add grated parsnips, cucumbers, carrots, avocado and clover sprouts (you can use which ever sprouts you have). Drizzle some agave and Bragg's over filling and tightly roll into cylindrical shape. Use a knife and cut into desired shape. I was almost tempted to eat it long like that, it smells so good and tasted like the best sushi I ever had, just without the fish and rice. WHAT A LUNCH! Even non-sushi lovers will love this version.
Enjoy!
