Day #22 Raw food Journey 2014

I made a new dish today and it was pretty tasty. I like the tangy, bitter, sour, flavors the most and this one had plenty of that. I was like a cold slaw but there were no sweet tastes and I only shredded a small amount of cabbage with shredded carrots thinly sliced red bell peppers and jalapenos. I took a picture of it but for some reason I am not able to upload from my cell phone anymore (S.N.A.F.U). I will continue to try but until then, keep a watchful eye out for my Raw Food videos.

Day #19 Raw Food Journey 2014

Today is day #19 in my 2014 Raw food journey and I made "mock" raw tacos with orange slices and cucumbers on the side. I also made a spicy dressing to pour over the tacos. Each taco consisted of marinated mushrooms, kosher pickles, shredded carrots, sliced tomato and alfalfa sprouts. I also made a smoothie to drink with my meal. The smoothie was made with fresh mango, banana, black berries, and orange juice.
Check out a few pics I took during the preparation.

Ingredients for "mock" raw tacos:
romaine lettuce
alfalfa sprouts
marinated mushrooms
Kosher pickles
tomatoes


Preparing the "mock" raw tacos. All ingredients are raw with the exception of the pickles. The alfalfa sprouts were sprouted in my kitchen and took approx. 5 days to complete. That's from soaking the seeds to having them ready for eating or juicing. Not too bad when you consider that finding them in a grocery story right now would cost you a small fortune and even then, you cannot be sure how fresh they really are when you purchase them at your local grocery store.

Day #12 Raw Food and Fitness Journey 2014

Day #11 Raw Food Journey 2014

On day #11 I really wanted to create a wonderful tasting dessert but did not have all the ingredients. I also wished that I had already completed several more days of the journey. I will continue on and keep posting. One day I will look back at this blog and think how easy things have become.

Day #10 Raw Food Journey 2014

On Day #10 of my Raw Food Journey, I made a mock pasta salad. It had chopped cucumbers, shredded carrots chopped tomatoes, and spiralized zucchini. I had a raw nut mix for a snack and the last of my raw soup for lunch. I used my raw salad dressing to pour over the top of the pasta salad.

Day #8 Raw Food Journey 2014

On Day #8 of my raw journey I also began my first day back to school. For breakfast I had a smoothie. For lunch I had an apple. I snacked on some #raw treats that I had completed a couple of days ago. For dinner I had a salad with carrots, roman lettuce, and cukes. I almost didn't want to eat because things were so busy. I thought it was best that I did eat something or else later that evening I would regret it.

Day #9 Raw Food Journey 2014

Today is the 9th day of my Raw food journey and I feel as if I am almost fully adjusted to eating this way. I had a dream the other night that I took a bite of a Cheese burger and then threw it against a white wall when I realized I had broken my raw food pact (lol). I am so focussed on seeing the results that I don't dare make any changes right now. I ate a banana for breakfast and an apple for lunch. I am having a raw soup and raw crackers for dinner. If I get hungry later, I will have a salad. I am going g to the gym tonight with my trainer (Husband) to work on conditioning.
