Day 2 ....

Oh look! i'm blogging! ha! well, last night i didn't sleep so well. this morning, i am not particularly tired and barely hungry so i am drinking a cup of black coffee and eating some grapefruit. i reserved the juice to make a grapefruit vinaigrette for the fennel salad i plan on having for lunch and i am about to get some mushrooms marinating for my dinner of stuffed mushrooms later. i have a ton of work to do today, filing etsy orders and finishing and starting drapes for some local customers. housework, etc! i'll come back later to share my recipes!

Late Night Snacking and Immediate Slip Ups

So, i already screwed up. after eating practically nothing all day, (aside from the available slice of carrot cake with my maple soy latte! whops!!!) my first raw meal was devoured in ten seconds with no picture of proof! ha! well, it wasn't glamorous anyhow and i am certainly not going to beat myself up over my raw faux pas. so i am starving. and this is what my late night snack is. a raw young coconut. as perfect as can be with a ton of fresh young water. these are simply amazing to me. the meat is tender, the water is sweet and nutty. not to mention the fact that it is one of natures perfect foods.

2011 Raw

A year has gone by since my raw challenge. It went really well, i wish i had kept up with the blogging better so i can contrast and compare experiences. Today marks the first day of my 2011 raw challenge. the idea i have in mind is there are four of us ladies who want to do it. in order to keep it up, be inspired and encouraged i propose the idea of getting together one night a week at a different house each week and share a raw dinner.
last time i tried a vegan diet at first and then strayed. this time i am allowing myself to use raw fish, and raw milk cheeses as part of my raw experience. i am also allowing myself hot coffee and cold teas. many raw enthusiasts would probably disagree with this. i say, oh well.
I am going to try my hardest to blog everyday, and post pictures of my meals. so here i go...
