Raw Food is Rawkin one again..............

Hello,I want to say my blogs are not the usual informational kind .At least not here. I like to use this space for my personal journey,as you see I don't come here daily.I need to ,I should,but I don't.I have had some crappy life issues and that is why I was absent and that is all I will say.I will say I always have fresh made juices in my kitchen and that will never change.Why change something that is so yummy ,right.
As for eating raw I will be doing the new 11 week challenge and I will be exercising more.I live in a dreary grey sky state and I do get that winter depression ,if that is what we call it.Grey days make a person much lazier,there is no doubt.But I want all to know all is good,but could be better,just life struggles that's all.

Amanda and RawDawgRory ~My Master Cleanse Day 3

Last night early eve on May 18th I went to Tacoma,Wa.to find Amanda on her walking journey across the USA from Washington State to Pa.Unfortunately her Tuesday was over and we met her ,Rory ,and her daughter and dog in a Walmart parking lot.

I am on my Master Cleanse but I made some corn chips/crackers and some Raw Hummus made with freshly sprouted garbanzo beans.It was my first time sprouting garbanzo beans....What I did was deliver 1/2 of my makings to Amanda and Rory.I recommend anyone whom can ,please donate to her cause.Walking her way home and it may take 7-8 months Amanda's trek.Good Luck Amanda........!

As for my Day 3 Master Cleanse I am doing great,no headache,hunger,nothing.I am determined we can Syke the mind.I have been waiting for this day when my son after 1 year moved out in order to have privacy with doing the Master cleanse /well its the flush that I needed to be private.He was home during the days because he worked night.And since you spend time in the bathroom.Well you get the picture ,its called private time.Miss the company ,but happy to have our home back to ourselves.

Master Cleanse Day 2

Well Well,here I go again procrastinating the fact that I really need to buckle down and stay raw as I so need and truly love.Now that our son moved out into his own Bought Home last Monday not yesterday,I am free.Free to eat and not make things I don't agree with.My own husband is happy too that we both ca eat and do what we want with no others here to please.That may sound selfish but why do we parents giveand give and our kids take us for granted.I am saddened yet happy all at the same time.Ask my friends,I have been waitng for this past Monday to do another 10-13 day Master Cleanse.I am so geared for it.And I must say I hate the SW Flush,but last time (last year early 2009)1/2 way through I realized I was doing 2 Tablespoons not 2 Teaspoons of the Sea salt .YIKES I know!



Today I might go see Amanda whom is (RawDawgRory's Wife) and walk a little on her walking trek~.She will be in the Tacoma area about 30 minutes from where I live,but want to see her doing her thing~

need time for me.....

I am having a tough time being the person I want be.What I am saying is Raw eating is what I want ,but sometimes I want cooked Vegan foods at the dinner hour.I am really trying to fight it.I think once the son moves out Mid May I will be better.I make more cooked foods with hubby ,son and granddaughter around.When the house was only hubby and myself we together had no problem with salads as our dinner.Our son is a beef ,burger flat out crappy eater.The daughter is 3 and I help her eat healthy.She herself eats McDonald's,Burger King and places not meant for growing kids :-).That is my opinion.I get her to drink sips of my drinks/juices and smoothies.

First Day Of Spring

We had a great sunny day up until around 7 pm ,a wind came in and drizzle rain came.
Spring has sprung for us here in the Pacific Northwest.I started my day with an interesting juice.Check out my results.I will be making this drink again.

Cantalope,mint,gogi berries.
Really tasty!
Took 1 whole cantalope,12 mint leaves,and put these into the vitamix.

I also took about 1/3 C gogi berries and 1/4 C water to soak berries then whirled them in my Magic Bullet(mini Blender).I then proceeded to put everything in the vitamix and put this juice into the Nutmilk bag.
Delicious.:-)

Eat the colors of the Rainbow.

Eat the colors of the rainbow. It's easy to identify foods with the highest levels of antioxidants—they're often the most colorful. Carrots and sweet potatoes have plenty of beta carotene; bell peppers, strawberries and tomatoes contain vitamin C; tomatoes and watermelon have lycopene; and dark leafy greens like spinach contain lutein. Blueberries have anthocyanins. Red grapes have resveratrol. And the list goes on—so banish the beige!

Awesome herbal tea for health

I wanted to share this video with anyone interested in a good herbal tea.I myself love a good cup of tea.Tea making with freah herbs is a fairly new interest that I have besides eating a raw food lifestyle .The pot is a Joyce Chen 6 Qt Clay pot and is something I think I will be purchasing soon.
