Surviving A Faire Day

Yesterday I promised the Thai Coconut Soup recipe, so here it is. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! I adapted this recipe from a recipe at www.rawfoodrecipes.com
Thai Coconut Soup

Soup Base - blend all in blender – and place in 9”x13” baking dish
 2 cups young coconut meat from 4 young Thai coconuts
2 cups coconut water
2 tbs agave nectar
1-2 serrano chilis (or pepper of your choice)
4-5 cloves garlic
1 green onion, sliced
2 T lime juice
1/2 tsp lime zest
4 tsp white miso
 1 inch ginger


Veggies – add to liquid – dehydrate for 2 hours
1/2 cup broccoli, julienned
1/2 cup red pepper, julienned
1/2 cup fresh peas
1/2 cup bok choy, cut in thin strips
 1/2 cup carrots, julienned
1 green onion, julienned 
cilantro leaves, chopped (to taste) (the original recipe called for 1/4 cup and both hubby and I felt that much overpowered the other subtle flavors)


My day...
Early A.M.
I bartend on the weekends at the Ohio Renaissance Festival and last week Faire derailed my RAW efforts...well, not really faire, me, I derailed because I wasn't prepared well enough for a faire day. I thought I was. I packed a huge smoothie, lunch, snacks...and came home starving...without a raw dinner planned or prepared. That was my big mistake. The weather didn't help... a fifty-plus degree drop over night... 105*F to 52*F knocked the wind right out of my raw-intentioned sails.

This weekend I am a Raw Warrior. Nothing is going to knock me down!
