From a standard foodie diet, to a raw food diet

Taking a hiatus

Written on October 19, 2011 by Neven in Thoughts

Hello friends. Lately it has been a chore for me to post. There was a time not to long ago when I was bursting with ideas and recipes that I couldn’t wait to share. Now other things are on my mind so I am taking a short break from blogging. I know we are in the middle of Vegan MoFo and I signed up to do it, but I must stop now. I hope you will join me in reading the MoFo blogs, because they are so inspiring. I will continue to update my blog on mySA so if you miss my writing you can catch my posts there. I will also be participating in NaNoWriMo, which I am super excited for. Have a great day and I’ll see when I’m inspired again.

In the meantime just look at how gorgeous my dog is. This is when she got her summer haircut, she’s such a beauty.

Random meals

Written on October 6, 2011 by Neven in Thoughts

I’ve had a slow start to Vegan MoFo, hopefully I’ll pick up steam as the month goes on. I’m eating vegan this whole month, which is not a huge departure from my regular diet. I eat vegan most of the time anyway. I had a few days in the beginning of the month where I…

Vegan MoFo day 1

Written on October 1, 2011 by Neven in Cooking, Juicing

Fall has made it to San Antonio at last, at least for today that is. It was so great to have the windows open this morning and to spend the day outside. It’s such a relief to actually feel a breeze especially after we suffered through a really, really hot summer. I started my morning…

Basil pesto and a lazy dinner

Written on September 30, 2011 by Neven in Raw Foods, Recipes

When my husband works late I like to embrace my lazy side and put together a quick dinner that is mainly raw vegetables and a soup. Last week was made up of may nights like this. I was craving pesto so I made a quick batch to dip my vegetables in and enjoyed a light…

GRAIL is GO

Written on September 26, 2011 by Neven in NASATweetup

I realize I didn’t post my launch photos or write about the launch yet. I promise it’s not because I’m a slacker. Since my last post I’ve updated my other blog with some very interesting topics. I wrote about how to pack a healthy lunch and how to get a bunch of second graders to…

I had such an amazing time at my first NASA Tweetup last week. The launch got scrubbed for Thursday and Friday, but did finally happen on Saturday and it was well worth the wait. Before we get to that part here’s a recap of my week. On Thursday a small group of us went…

Trying out Thrive in 30

Written on July 14, 2011 by Neven in Raw Foods

Today I signed up for Thrive in 30, with Brendan Brazier. I really admire him, he is a professional Ironman Triathlete and he eats only whole plant based foods. I’m excited to learn from him over the next 30 days. I’m not vegan, but I do eat mostly a plant based diet. You don’t have…

Lazy summer days and a camping trip

Written on July 9, 2011 by Neven in Family, Traveling

I love summertime, it means spending more time with my family and moving at a slower pace. Let’s face it we could all benefit from moving a bit slower. Most of us are so busy multitasking and trying to get a million things done that by the end of the day we are left feeling…
