2 weeks and surviving.

Today marks day 14.

I am really enjoying the new lifestyle.  It is very refreshing to consume food and drinks that do not weigh me down and make me feel lethargic.

I'm going to start posting the list of food I really enjoy.  In the future, I'll add photographs and recipes.

A few of my favorite meals are:

1.  Popeye Passion Smoothie
2. Veggie wraps
3. Marinated Portobello Mushrooms with Cauliflower mash
4. Sprouted Grain sandwiches
5. Raw Almonds with dates
6. Raw oats soaked in Almond milk

Ingredients I enjoy, are
Tomato
Romaine Lettuce
Hummus
Avocado
Cucumber
Celery
Swiss Chard
Kale
Spinach
Fresh Pressed Apple Juice
Collard Greens
Nori
Cauliflower
Portobello Mushrooms
Almonds
Dates
Cranberries
Raw honey
Soy sauce
Tahini
Sesame seeds.
Almond milk
Garlic
Rosemary

With these few ingredients,  one can great various recipes.

My first fave is Hummus.
I put this on bread or on my lettuce wraps.

1 can of chick peas (drained and rinsed very well) (this is the one canned item I will buy)
1 garlic clove minced
a table spoon of rosemary
2 table spoons of Tahini
Olive Oil
soy sauce

I drain the chick peas for at least 10 minutes under cold water.
In my food processor with an S blade,  I add the chick peas, garlic, rosemary, tahini,  a few dashes of soy sauce and about 2 table spoons of olive oil.

I then process all of this until the Hummus is thoroughly mixed and fine.  I don't like hummus being too thin so I watch the mixture and keep scraping the sides of my bowl,  blending everything in well.  I continue to add Olive Oil until the texture is perfect.

Once processed,  I put the Hummus into a Mason Jar.  This makes for easy access when I'm in a rush.

Happy Raw living..
