Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

Has a recipe in her book Raw. It’s for making sesame broccoli using toasted sesame oil, sesame seeds, orange juice, nama shoyu (soy sauce), and I think a little ginger. I used her recipe to make some last night. I steamed the broccoli. It was absolutely delicious and took me just a few minutes to make.

This is SO cool!! Use your mouse to turn the pages!
My friend just sent this to me and I love it already.

I have put buying a dehydrator on hold. They are expensive and ugly.
I have heard you don’t really need them. Without looking for instructions I just decided to try and make my own flax crackers using a tray and setting it in front of the open window in the living room. Will I come home to crackers? Who knows!
There is enough ventilation…but is there enough heat? Will my kitty walk on them?

I’ll see when I get home.

Made almond milk yesterday and the day before. It is so easy I can’t believe I ever bought it in the store.

soak raw almonds overnight in water
rinse
add water to almonds and blend
strain.

Really delicious. Got raw almonds from Trader Joe’s. They were cheaper than the European Raw Almonds sold at the Co-op.

P.S. You can sweeten the almond milk with a few dates or some agave or whatever you have that’s sweet!
I also added some celtic sea salt because I love salt.

I used my spiralizer today to make angel hair pasta noodles out of a cucumber from my garden. It was amazing how fast it transformed the cucumber. I made a salad out of it by adding, a touch of mayo, salt, pepper and cayenne. It was good!

It looked like this photo (this photo is actually zucchini)

I am eating too much. I eat a lot and then don’t feel satisfied. I crave sweets and chocolate. I feel like an ‘overeater’ and I haven’t felt that way in ages. Not sure what’s going on…maybe it’s candida? Eek! I will try to settle down a bit and go easier on my stomach.

How much is too much? I was hungry, I had two bunches of kale.
I chopped them up and made this raw kale salad in case you missed it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMrhvki5oW4. I ended up eating the whole thing. I am full now and wondering if I over did it. It was delicious!

I wonder what my second favorite dark leafy green can be….does anyone have any suggestions?

I have been eating a special more healthy diet for the past week or so. I am allowing certain foods and not others. Basically, I can eat…any fruit or vegetable. Any soup is fine (in moderation). Avocado sandwiches w/ veggies are fine. Salads are fine. Coleslaw is fine. Green smoothies are fine.
Also included: drinks are fine, even a little beer, hot chocolate and kefir.
So, this eating plan is not super strict but..I still…I have been feeling a little lighter from being on it all week. I’m not eating as many carbs and sweets.

Trying to simplify my diet for at least a few days to see if I can look a little better in this skirt.

Lets see…

Foods to eat

Green smoothies.
Avocado veggie sandwiches from the deli
coleslaw
soups.

This is what I can eat for the most part so far. I can drink coffee or tea and …I am debating about beer…I think beer is okay. Obviously, this is not a super strict diet but I am hoping it will make a difference in my waistline!

Sounds gross, and green but it’s not.
Put fully ripe avocado in blender with chocolate powder. Add something to sweeten, I used agave. You can also add a banana and water to help it blend faster. This makes pudding! It has a wonderful smooth texture and tastes great. Very easy.
