Magic noodles
When I started a raw food cleanse on Sunday, I was bracing myself for a week of dreary vegetable hell. But thanks to my marvelous live-in raw food chef (who happens to be my boyfriend) I have discovered a whole new world of gluttony—the healthy kind. Who knew the sheer joy of mock mash (made from cauliflower) and mushroom gravy? The decadent delights of coconut pastes, almond-pumpkin pate and carob desserts? And the delights of Mother Nature's best kept slimming secret—Kelp noodles. They're only a little unusual tasting, are eminently satisfying, and contain just one carb (and virtually zero calories). As a big-bootied woman whose one dietary downfall has always been pasta/noodles/rigatoni/penne etc., my kelp noodle discovery was something of a Eureka moment. Believe me, I've tried every pasta alternative in the world and they all taste like soggy cardboard. But these stringy babies taste like the real thing... albeit a little al dente. Eat them uncooked for full-on crunch effect, or soaked in water (cold or warm) for the authentic mama mia feel. Buy them at your local health food store, or here. And then feast, unburdened by guilt.
