Meat-Free Mondays

We have one of our favorite guest with us this week. One of the hubbys closest friends. He leaves in a few days and we still never have enough time to catch up. He is a strict vegan. And he has been on this fast/raw/fast/raw diet cycle the past few weeks. He takes food very seriously.  He is much stronger than I could be. And he sure enough can make me feel guilty about even eating a banana half the time! He is so fun. So he has been eating this recipe that even my meat-eating brother loved! I cant get enough of it. I hope you enjoy. On the side or by itself. It is delicious!
