This is what the Pixiepine Kitchen has been looking like lately:
I've bought a ton of fruits and vegetables to eat raw. The lemon bowl is overflowing because tangy, lemony sauces taste soo good on chilled veggies.
We have been having good salads. I'm taking advantaging of cooking-less time to explore the salad dressing and sauces sections in my cookbooks. Raw recipe books are especially great for light and zingy sauces. Below is a salad with a really good tahini lemon juice type sauce.
Here's a lovely honey mustard (I used agave nectar in place of honey) poppy seed dressing still bubbly from the blender.
This recipe is from The Complete Book of Raw Food. It's a huge cookbook full of goodness :)
Stay cool! One week till Mr. & Mrs. Pixiepine hit the Northwest! Honeymoon here we come!! (I'm gonna have a very cute new tattoo to show off too!)

i've been trying to eat basically nothing but raw and steamed veggies and fresh fruit as well... i love that you're using this hot time to explore sauces and dressings and REALLY want to make that agave honey mustard poppyseed stuff, as it sounds amazing.
by the way, the smoothie infusion stuff in the smoothies...that 'hey i'm eating something healthy' taste wasn't really for me either, though i'm sure others would love it. definitely worth it in brownie form though. you see, i cheat and find ways around healthy food by making it all into chocolate. it's like alchemy, but way better.
oh yum! that looks like the most delicious salad! if the weather ever actually gets hot in the bay area, i'm using that idea! :)
Man, is it hot outside! 'Tis the season to be raw for sure.
Hot!?!? I'll tell you about hot! Try 125'F with 99% humidity! The Saudi Arabian summer sun is BRUTAL and we can't expect a break till October.
Ahem. Anyway.
Yes, we love to eat big raw veggie salads in the summer and one of my favorite ways to top them is with a lemon/tahini dressing. Simple and so tasty.
