Day #2-Healthy Lifestyles and Healthy Meals Journey 2015

Oatmeal with black berries

Today is day number two of my journey. I started with an Oatmeal & cinnamon meal roughly 30 minutes after waking up. I also had some medjool dates and black berries in it. The flavors were wonderful and sweet but not too sweet. For lunch I ate a large apple (pink lady) and had some water. My dinner was a medium salad with bacon bits, croutons, romaine & spinach. The salad dressing was my very own home made variety. It has tahini sauce, apple cider vinagar, extra virgin olive oil, a small tomato, fresh lemon jice, and 2-cloves of garlic.

Healthy Lifestyle and Healthy Meals Journey

Today I am beginning a journey toward healthy life and healthy meals. I am making exercise a habit and mindful menus a MUST! Please check out my You Tube page for videos. I have a Face Book page dedicated to healthy eating and you can like my FaceBook page when you visit.

Fresh Pineapple and coconut flakes

Fresh Pineapple & Coconut

I was looking through some of my pictures and remembered how sweet this pineapple coconut treat tasted. I want some fresh pineapple now. Sometimes, it's hard to find good pineapple because you are not always guaranteed that it will be good tasting until you have already purchased it and sliced it open. That doesn't stop me from taking my chances. Next time I am in my favorite fresh fruit and veggie market, I will do just that.

45 days of raw food in 2014

I looked on Google images for something that was close to resembling what I have been eating since I ended my Raw Food Journey.

I completed a total of 45 days on my 2014 Raw food journey. I have plans to do a 7-day raw food feast each month of this year. My goal is to be able to incorporate an increasing number of raw fruits and veggies into my daily dietary routine. For now, I am eating greater than 80% vegan meals. I have had a couple slices of pizza and made baked chicken with homemade mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus for this evenings meal. I still have my fruit smoothies and green smoothies and most of the time I begin my day with a banana and some filtered water. Eating healthy is on my mind and I want it to get stronger and become a more influential part of my life.

Day # 31 Raw Food Journey 2014

Raw meal

Today is Day #31 in my Raw Food Journey 2014. I have been experimenting with different flavors for soups and have found one that's pretty delicious. It uses tomatillo

and Garlic. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of the soup as I have been experiencing difficulties uploading my pics to this blog. I will continue to work on getting this solved because the pics are very helpful in helping to describe my Raw meals. For the time being, I will load random pics of raw meals that I have eaten over the past month since beginning my journey. Hope you enjoy.

Raw vegan tacos

I used the Falafil mix for the veggie burger to add to the vegan tacos. This has to be cooked so it is the only part of the meal that wasn't raw. Very delicious.

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.
