two recipes

[Guest guest]

These

recipes came from raw on $10/day in an email. The ice cream picture just about

looks like the color of coffee ice cream. It mentions a food processor but a Vitamix

could be used.

Lunch

Carrot Apple Soup

serves 2 ~ $2.01 per serving

6 carrots, chopped ($1.00)

1 tablespoon chopped onion

1 avocado ($1.49)

1 large apple ($.89)

1 red bell pepper, chopped ($.79)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

pinch cinnamon

pinch cumin

water for blending

This is a sweet way to take advantage of in season carrots and

apples. Actually, it started out as a (rare) food experiment gone wrong ... but

it worked all out in the end.

In a blender, combine all ingredients and pureed until very smooth

and creamy. Use as much as necessary for the desired consistency. This soup

would be awesome in a Vita Mix or a similar blender, but any blender will work

.... although it may take a few minutes. If it's not smooth enough, press

through a wire mesh strainer.

Serve with a few bits of chopped apples and onions and a drizzle

of olive oil.

Dessert

Lemon Basil Ice Cream

serves 2 ~ $1.12

5 ripe bananas ($.75)

juice and zest of one lemon ($1.49)

1 tablespoon dried basil, or 3 tablespoons fresh

Yes, more banana ice cream. I do love this stuff and it really

does seem to have almost endless possibilities. I think fresh basil would be

better, but I used dried and it worked well to ad just a bit of flavor.

In a food processor fitted with an " S " blade, process

all ingredients until the bananas are liquid. Then process in an ice cream

maker until firm.
