56:100 the perfect 10

56:100 the perfect 10


we all want to have success in the raw food endeavor,

especially first starting out…

or after a few false starts

or even off-da-wagon falls….

so what can help?

a personal raw chef in your kitchen?


yes but…

i don’t know too many who can afford that, so now what?

do you think it would help to have a mini recipe book

with 10 go to recipes that are fast and fabulous?

it helps me… and many others who are already using

this technique. all you have to do is pick out the 10 things

that really hit the spot and don’t take much time or

fancy-schmancy ingredients or days to prepare.

the easy thing to do is to type up

(in font that doesn’t need glasses-

you will see why later..when you go to make it)

and print some easy favorites and keep them in a

drawer in the kitchen or tape them to the back of

your cabinet doors… some place handy, & visable…

then the next time you find yourself prowling for food

and no idea what to eat-

don’t reach for that oreo, bag of potato chips

or wedge of cheese…

make one of your presto foods to take the edge off

of the unreasonable hunger and give yourself time to think

and make a better choice.

sometimes it’s a fudge-ball

(almond butter and cacao powder-stir+eat )

other times it may be a flax-cake

(ground flax, coconut oil sweetener, cinnamon, water..stir+eat)

maybe a quick cream soup

(water, nuts, nama shoyu, veggie of choice, spices- blender+eat)

get what I’m saying?

these are a few of my fast 'go-to’ foods,

pick the ones that make the biggest emotional impact for

you. it will help more than anything, you’ll see.

make your perfect 10 recipe booklet today,

be sure to cover all the situations that leave you wavering

…breakfast, lunch dinner, snack, sweet, salty,

a comforting HUG food….

remember it has to be YOUR favorite!

WELL WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GO!

finish that 100 day challenge with a BANG!

good morning!
i started off the 100 day kick-off with a bang!
i had made my dh some sausage w/onions & peppers for dinner
and the next day's lunch from an organic raised pig raised by his brother (thanks!)
so i decided to make the counterpart in raw vegan
and was very happy with the way it turned out.
my first task was to make it TASTE good
then to make it LOOK good too.
i succeed in both arenas :) yaaay!

i used pecans mostly as the base and then added some onion & apple
with spices and garden grown herbs. i was so happy with it!
now i am going back in my mind to recall the amounts of the ingredients
so i can make it again very soon.
i will be adding this recipe to the book "raw delights" for certain!
i found some wonderful fruit at the market and now my fruit bowl looks just bursting with goodness & overflowing- i had to eat the top nectarine cause it kept rolling off the top of the heap ;)
99 days to go!

that was yesterday, this is today
on my to do list :
make flax tortillas in the D
start sprouting some rye berries (craving some of alyssa's bagels)
make some cashew "cheese"

i still have 1 serving of the pecan sausage left
i have been rolling up a couple of spoonfuls in my garden grown romaine lettuce leaves.
they grew plentifully this year in my garden, and i am so glad!
i am still all bent out of shape that all my tomatoes were touched with the blight and rotted before ripening. grrrrr! i also need to get out to the garden & get it fall ready. i have a few enormous sunflowers growing in one corner who's stems are as thick as my arm, no kidding- they are at least 11 feet tall!!!

off to start some raw yummies for this week.
it always helps to have a plan- it boosts your success rate in a large way.
have a good one!
