It’s MEATLESS MONDAY!
That’s right kick the meat to the curb today and indulge in fresh veggies and fruits instead.
Recently, I mentioned my interest in the raw foods diet. Much of what I’ve been doing lately is fueling my brain with tons of information on becoming a raw foodie. I’m really drawn to this lifestyle of raw foods- it’s pretty fascinating to me. Not eating cook foods and getting the most nutrition out of a vegetable or fruit seems almost like a no-brainer, right? I know this diet may not be for everyone but so far from what I’ve been reading it seems like it goes right along with my who I am. I’m so hyped on the recipes- from nut cheeses to nut milks, rawasgna, to grawnola, and ice cream (dairy free) – anything is possible in the raw foods world. Pizza, mexican food- yes, that’s right tamales- and the kicker it’s HEALTHY for you!!!
It has totally made me rethink my eating habits and even having our chickens for eggs! Anyway, I’m super thrilled to share our first raw foods recipe with you. I decided to go simple and easy on our first take- I don’t want to overwhelm myself. I’ve yet to take to leap either and invest in a Vita-Mix. I really, really, really want one! Our blender just recently broke and the food processor does not do the job like the blender did. I’m not even sure when I’ll make that step but hopefully, soon. For now, I’ll borrow my mom’s blender and juice it up with our Jack Lalanne juicer. We have the one featured in the video.
I figure it can’t hurt to incorporate a few raw meals into our daily lives… so without further a do…
Spanish Breakfast Scramble an Ani Phyo recipe…
-We enjoyed this dish for dinner. This recipe is easy peasy! Most raw recipes don’t require a lot of time in the kitchen. Major plus. My husband absolutely loved it- NO JOKE. He asked for seconds and kept raving about how much he liked the textures of the spinach and nuts. He said he could just eat the “Love the Chicks” pate plain. He also kept saying it was the perfect food for the outdoors. I agree. Tonight, we’re having a Mushroom Walnut loaf- stayed tuned!
Oh, and btw- I wanted to share a book with you that inspired me to become a vegetarian years ago- I’ve recently taken it off the shelves again…
I highly recommend it.

I think the raw food diet is intriguing too. It does make sense. I don’t have a juicer, but I love making smoothies.

There is an awesome Raw food cafe by my house. The bread was amazing. The owner does classes and I was thinking of attending. I think my hubs would freak if I told him I was going raw- but I think eating a mostly raw diet is a great way to go.

We recently tried a nori roll recipe that used soaked walnuts and sunflower seeds with onion and cilantro instead of rice. It was so good and really reminds me of this recipe. I will definitely give this one a try.
