staying raw through the winter

I'm having trouble with cravings for cooked food when we have a stretch of cold weather. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and what raw foods or particular recipes they might recommend for the winter. bradley49

Have you tried making raw 'pasta' from zucchini, yellow squash and/or cucumbers? You can use a peeler; you don't have to have one of those fancy devices. Put a nice tomato sauce on it, made with fresh or dried tomatoes, and maybe throw in a few sesame seeds or slices of mushroom, and voila!--- it's quite filling.

I made an amazing dressing another day:
sunflower seeds
lemon juice
olive oil
salt
pepper
parsley and green onions
Blend it and it is amazing with zucchini pasta.

I make an amazing warm, spicy raw soup: I mash a half avocado with 1 T. miso, 1 clove grated garlic (I use a microplane grater), 1-2t. spirulina (you can omit this if you want), 1/4 t. cayenne and/or spicy pepper blend (my hubby grows and dehydrates hot peppers for fun), a handful of bean sprouts (mung/adzuki/lentil), a grated carrot, 2-3 chopped mushrooms and a green onion. Before I add the veggies, I add warm water, then s I add more veggies I add hottish water to keep the soup warm but not hot. I stir the whole time. This makes about 2 cups of soup and is really satisfying and warming. I just ate a bowl of it and am sweating!!! (my house is 60 degrees and it is 20 outside.)
