Let’s talk about food shall we?! I meant to post this yesterday to coincide with my Thursday Quarter Recipe theme, but well, it didn’t happen. I have been all obsessed with raw food and healthy eating these past few weeks. I have been looking through several recipe books from the library COMPLETE IDIOTS GUIDE TO EATING RAW, THE COMPLETE BOOK OF RAW FOOD and ALIVE IN 5. Not that these are the best out there, they are just what I have at the moment. My favorite book that I own is RAWSOME. I look through it so often to reaffirm specifically how good for me certain foods are. I ordered a few back issues of PURELY DELICIOUS and really like this magazine too. They even sent me a RAW sticker for my van! Bonus!
I want to branch out a bit farther than salads. I LOVE salad and eat it just about every night. It is easy and can be changed up really easily. It is quick-which is important since I prepare a cooked meal for my family and then need to make something for myself too. But if I actually plan ahead and make a menu for myself just like I do for my family I should be able to eat a wider variety of foods and food combonations. And left overs or pre-made salads are even better when I am hungry and want to grab something quick.
Some friends are also trying to add more raw foods into their diets. We even tried to go to a raw food meet-up but had an older meeting schedule, Next time! So I am going to switch up my Thursday Quarter recipe theme to be RAW. I would love for others to continue to share there recipes here too. On Thursdays (or Friday in this weeks case) post a raw recipe on your blog and come here and leave a comment with a link to your post containing your raw recipe.
I don’t really have measurements for this but it tasted like sunshine. And god knows here in Columbus, Ohio we need more of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lots of celery and mung bean sprouts (that I sprouted myself!!) and onions. Some olive oil, alot of lemon juice, salt, citrus pepper, celery seeds and dill. Really crispy and fresh tasting.
Here are a few websites too if you are interested……..
Raw Food Right Now-a list of lots of raw blogs-most of which I have not checked out yet
We Like It Raw- There is a link to Sarmas blog and I am a big fan of hers. Hers is the first raw cook book I ever read and I thought if I ate raw I would look just like her!! I am still trying!
Do you have any raw blogs or web sites to share???
Yummy picture! Looks crunchy and tasty.
Well, you know I’m a raw food lover — Andy, myself, and the 5 kids are high raw vegans, we eat maybe 75% raw and 25% cooked.
I do lots of all-raw days (I have been all raw for the past week), and I feel energetic, happy…downright giddy! I *LOVE* raw food and I love how it makes me feel.
I just posted a heap of pretty raw food pictures, though no recipes…
Am going to try your crunchy mung-bean dish this weekend! Yummers!
Glad your cleanse went so well! Kudos to your for doing it, that takes willpower!
Oh yum! Perfect way to have a fresh salad at this time of year.
