Menu Mondays - Raw Tomato Sauce

I have decided that I am going to try to create a bit of a theme with my blog posts.  This will help me keep my ideas focused and a bit varied from day to day, but will also help you, my readers to know what to expect on a given day.

So, Monday I will focus on sharing recipes, hence, Menu Mondays.  The rest of the days of the week will look a bit like this:

Tuesday’s testimonials - stories of success to inspire

Wellness Wednesday - ways to improve health through a variety of means

Thrifty Thursday - ways to save money while not compromising health

Friday’s Philosophy - a look at how our thinking can effect our progress

Symptomatic Saturday - suggestions for improving various illnesses and health challenges

Sacred Sunday - a look at faith in the midst of this journey toward all that God intends

Enjoy today's recipe.

My son made this delicious meal using zucchini spagetti

Raw Tomato Sauce over Zucchini "Spagetti"

10-11 tomatoes chopped  (Romas work well)

1/2 red or yellow onion sliced

3-4 cloves of garlic peeled & chopped                               

fresh basil to taste (6 big leaves)                                      

crushed dill to taste                                                        

2 Tbsp lemon juice                                                          

1 tsp celtic salt                                                               

2 Tbsp olive oil

1/8-1/4 cup raisins

1-2 red bell peppers

1/4 jalepeno pepper

1/4 - 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes

Blend all ingredients above until smooth.  Serve over spiraled zucchini (creates zucchini spagetti).  I enjoy this raw or very slightly warmed, but other family members prefer to saute the zucchini "noodles" in olive oil and garlic before adding the sauce.  

Do you have a healthy recipe that you'd like to share?  What are some ways that you creatively use your summer produce?
