I am going RAW for 30 days. I am very stoked but also freakin' terrified. So, I am savoring my last few days of cooked food, and yes, my last meal will be a burger. All in moderation, and YOLO... right? Well, tonight I made a four bean soup for dinner. I added brown rice so that my meal would be a complete protein and a one pot dish in itself. I know what your thinking "that whollygirl is crazy! soup in the summer!?!". Chill. This soup is lovely. It is light and is fantastic cold. It's so easy to take along with you to the lake or even camping. You won't miss the meat here, and you save some ching-a-ling.
