Carrot Raisin Salad with Walnuts and Vinaigrette


Marinated Kale Salad with Sun dried Tomatoes and Onions





Here is How the day went:


Breakfast- Coconut Water

Work Out- 1 mile on treadmill

Mid Morning Meal- Fresh Orange Juice

Homeschooled the Kids- They grazed on Fruit as they wanted to. They had apples, bananas, oranges, raspberries, and black berries

Lunch- Nori Roll( cucumber, clover sprouts, tomatoes, and red bell pepper) I ate it with a dipping sauce I made with:


Nama Shoyu

Raw Honey

Grated Garlic

Grated Ginger


I made a nut and raisin treat( sesame seed, flax, golden raisins, Brazil nuts, walnuts, shredded coconut and honey.)

Dinner- Kale Salad and Carrot Raisin Salad



I drank Water throughout the Day. In between meals.

That is the key to not feeling Hungry is Water.

30 Back to the Basics Raw Food Challenge!

This time around I am going to shoot for a whole 30 days of eating 100% Raw and living foods. The big differences in this time than the last few times I have attempted to eat a 100% Raw and Living foods diet is that I truly have my health on the front burner instead of taking a backseat to things like Weight loss. Dont get me wrong I am hoping to shead some pounds during this 30 day Challenge but its mostly about getting my body back in alignment. I want to be able to run around with my 3 very energetic children. Lets get down to business. I know you are wondering what the Back to the Basics 30 day Raw Food Challenge is all about. For the next 30 days I will be eating nothing but Vegetables, Fruits, Nuts, and Seeds, and of course plenty of water. That why I call it Basics. There will be no Gourmet Raw Cheese Cakes, and Deydrated treats and goodies. There will be no sprouted Grains. I am just eating the old fashioned way(Genesis that is) LOL! I will be keeping my thoughts and food journal here on my blog as well as a continous update on my Youtube channel.
