Another meal intended for John, but one that I ended up lovin instead! These are ridiculously easy for a great raw meal and are completely filling, which isn’t always the case for an uncooked meal. 2 zucchini, slice lengthwise and thin (mandolin is the way to go with these) 1/2 cup raw cashews 1/2 cup […]
Baked Eggplant & Bean Burgers
