Raw Food Diet - Day 2

The second day of our Raw Food Diet adventure was tough.  Somehow breakfast and lunch were not very satisfying.  I was OK with the breakfast of fruit and nuts and the salad lunch, but really craved a little piece of bread with the salad.  By the way, you can eat A LOT of lettuce before you can say you are full (I tried and didn't reach that point).  

Anyway, I was looking forward to dinner and that turned out fairly successful.  We started with some home made gazpacho.  That is always good (although I missed the croutons).  The dehydrated sweet potato chips from Whole Foods proved a major disappointment.  Nota good sign when you miss baked potato chips (never a big fan.)

The star of the night was the barramundi ceviche.  I used 1/2 pound of small diced barramundi, lots of lime juice, tomato seeds (discarded from the gazpacho), red bell pepper, cilantro, jalapeño and salt & pepper.  Not bad at all with the avocado.  I found the flaxseed a tad too string, but Sharon likes them.  

Not bad, but need to fine-tune.  Satisfaction level is only mid-point.
