It’s summertime and for most of North America that means enjoying longer days in the warm sunshine and shopping at the farmer’s market. I love the Summer, but I miss the variety of greens that I enjoy in the Fall, Winter and Spring. In San Antonio it is way too hot in the summer to…
This 30 day 100% raw challenge has been an eye opening experience for me. As you know from my last post I’m not 100% raw anymore, I’m more like 90% raw. But percentages don’t really matter to me; the important thing is I’m eating more living foods. I’m also going through a period where I’m re-evaluating…
As you can tell from my title I’m not 100% raw anymore. I have been craving salmon for the past week and a few days ago I finally gave in and had some for lunch. This is the longest I have ever gone without eating fish so I don’t think my body is used to…
It’s day 9 and I love being 100% raw so much that I don’t want to count the days anymore. When we count the days either we want something to end or we are waiting for something to start. I’m happy the way things are. I’ll keep count just for the 30 days while I’m…
I just returned from a trip to the Asian market with a friend and I’m intoxicated by the smell of the ripe mangoes on my counter. My friend is originally from Thailand so it was so great to shop with her, she introduced me to so many new greens. Just look at all the amazing…
I do my best to stay as raw as possible, but this past Easter weekend I had some stumbling blocks. I knew last Saturday was going to be busy. We had my son’s soccer game in the morning followed by Easter brunch and an egg hunt, then a birthday party in the late afternoon and…
I recently returned from a trade show in Las Vegas and I had a difficult time staying raw. Since I’ve gone raw I have traveled a lot and I’ve always found it easy to stick to my diet. It just takes a little bit of planning. I fill up on green juice the day that I’m…
I feel like hell today! Yesterday I felt so great all day, I was so happy and I ate my usual raw meals all day. Then in the evening my son told me that he wanted pizza for dinner. We went to his favorite pizza place and got take out. It smelled and looked so…
Things are getting to be more difficult. I am the type of person who forgets to eat, if I’m really happy or really sad I don’t eat. This is OK on a diet with solid foods but it is dangerous on a juice fast. First thing in the morning I was drinking a liter of…
Things are going really well today, I’ve finally settled into a routine. Juicing is feeling more natural to me now. I have juiced in the past but never for every meal. I have lots of energy, despite the fact that I was up most of the night. We had a really loud thunderstorm and my…
