rawktober: day one

     Today went more smoothly than I thought. A 13 hour day at school, with one midterm in the morning and the other late at night? I didn't think I'd have the energy to resist non-raw campus food and carry around my own 3 meals all day. Alas, I pulled through. Now, a warm cup of tea and off to bed to soothe my pounding brain.

A COMFORT ZONE IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE, BUT NOTHING EVER GROWS THERE.

mango millet salad

Serves 1 (can easily be doubled and/or tripled-- makes a great packed lunch)

1/4 cup millet

1/2+ cup water or vegetable broth

1/4 red onion, chopped

handful kale or other greens, chopped

handful fresh parsley, cilantro, basil, chopped

1 mango, diced

1/8 cup cranberries or dried cherries

1/8 cup slivered almonds

salt and pepper, to taste

tahini mustard dressing, to taste (I like to use fresh garlic)

Bring millet and water/broth to a boil, bring heat to medium-low, cover pot and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes. 

When cooled, combine along with other ingredients. Devour.
