Raw Dish!

Breakfast- a smoothie: 1 cup Chia gel, 4 Golden Delicious apples, 8 leaves of kale, juice of 2 lemons, 2 cups water, blended

Lunch-32 oz fresh carrot juice

Breakfast- smoothie: 4 Ataulfo mangos, 4 oranges, 1 head Red Romaine lettuce, 2 cups water, blended

Lunch- a salad: spinach, shredded carrots, walnuts, raisins, cucumbers

Dinner- 1 slice Ms. Lillian's raw organic Louisiana Yam Pie

Breakfast- 6 large oranges

Lunch- a salad: spinach, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, raisins, walnuts

Dinner- 1 slice of Ms. Lillian's raw organic Banana Cream Pie, 1 small piece of raw cheese

I confess, someone at my office passed around a box of very expensive French chocolate and I had a piece, delicious but not raw.  One was enough -too much really!

I wouldn't have eaten the cheese if it had not been in my apartment.  I had eaten the pie and was putting away some things in the kitchen and when I saw the cheese I compulsively picked it up and ate it.  It was raw and organic but even raw cheese is tricky for me. For one thing it has too much salt and also it can be a food that I eat compulsively and I feel conflicted about it when I observe myself eating it that way.

Breakfast- 6 very large navel oranges

Lunch- 5 large bananas, sliced into a bowl and drizzled with raw almond butter, sprinkled with shredded coconut and carob powder

Dinner- a quick raw nosh: head of baby bok choy, sliced cucmber, 3 oz raw milk cheddar cheese, a few pecan halves, 1 large tomato

Breakfast- Chia Seed Green soup (recipe from Green for Life): kale, soaked Chia seeds, apples, fresh lemon juice, water

Lunch- a smoothie: 1 head Green leaf lettuce, 6 bananas, 2 cups water, blended

Appetizer- 16 oz fresh carrot juice

Dinner- 2 slices raw Love-Force Focacia, Dr-Cow's cashew/hempseed cheese, 1 very large sliced tomato, 12 oz all green juice

Dessert- 12 oz fresh all green juice

I really like this Chia seed soup.  It's really a smoothie but it's thick and more satisfying to eat with a spoon out of a bowl

Food over the weekend was good.  I was busy and away from home though and didn't have the opportunity log everything in here.  I found some new "bread/crusts" that I liked and I'll try to remember to check the label and post the name here.  Jandi's in Oceanside, NY had some deliciously creamy and rich raw "creamed" spinach.  It was thick enough to spread on the raw bread.  Jandi's deli counter is growing its selection of raw items and they're making some tasty items there.  The stuffed mushrooms and the creamed spinach are my favorites.
