MY Plan - Part 2 - Raw Recipes

Here are some tried and true recipes to help with your own meal planning.  I've taken these from my research materials and tweek'd them a bit. There are scores of raw recipes online, in books, and many links in my previous post.  Doing your own research to appeal to personal tastes, and checking out what's fresh at your local farmer's market, is a great way to get inspired to detox and not feel like you'll be deprived. All quantities listed are 2 servings.
