Found a new blog that looks interesting: 

http://chubbyvegetarian.blogspot.com/

a little example...

Zucchini + Purple Basil Slaw

2 tablespoons mayo (I use vegan mayo)

10-12 purple basil leaves

1 garlic clove

1 tablespoon olive oil

splash of white balsamic vinegar

salt & pepper to taste

2 medium zucchini

1 medium carrot

Using a food processor or mini-prep, blend the first six ingredients to make the dressing. Then, using a julienne peeler, break down both the zucchini and the carrot into thin strips. Toss vegetables with the dressing and allow it all to sit for about 10-15 minutes to let the flavors come together. Use this slaw on sandwiches, eggs, polenta, or salad. It is a easy and delicious way to work some raw veggies into your diet.
