What are your daily recipe staples?

Hi All:
I'm still at the beginning of my journey into raw and trying to find some recipes that I won't tire of. Right now, I've got time off from work to experiment, but when I return to work I'll need some recipes I can prepare on the weekend to take me through the week. I've got quite a few raw cookbooks and have been doing some playing in the kitchen, but I still haven't found a lot foods I don't tire of after a couple of days. I do drink green smoothies everyday and don't tire of those for breakfast, so I need recipes for lunch and dinner -- simple ones would be especially appreciated. You don't need to type the entire recipe here (unless it's otherwise unavailable) -- just tell me what book or website you got it out of and I'll find it. Tell me what you love enough to eat everyday. Thanks!

I do 2 days worth of these. Each day I make a green salad and usually bring a piece of fruit along too. I might bring a few flax crackers along too.

Pates are good since I can vary the seasonings so much, I usually make them pretty spicy. I made one today with coconut, cashews, lime juice, jalapeno, garlic, cumin, ginger, and almost an entire bunch of cilantro, plus some salt of course. It's heavenly :); ▶ Reply to This

Really easy, I often make these at work. I just keep the ingredients in the fridge there. Or you can make it up as a salad with the dipping sauce as a dressing and just wrap that up in the nori before eating.; ▶ Reply to This
