Munching on some oatmeal/raisins/honey/coconut butter cereal soaked in water... it's yummy, filling, mostly raw and CHEAP.

It was delicious... simply delicious and SIMPLE and best of all, ALL RAW.

I am a lover of Soup&Salad for dinner - so tonight, I whipped up my own.

I tossed 5 roma tomatoes, a handful of cashews, a teaspoon of salt and of rosemary, and a healthy swig of Bragg's into my Vitamix and blended it on high speed for several minutes until it was thick and slightly warm.
