Today and yesterday were about experimenting! Yay! Crap! lol
I made raw sweetbread. Yum! I also made raw sweet flax crackers. No idea what they tasted like, 'cause they stuck to the wax paper I was using like glue. I would have had to eat the paper. I don't think that wax paper is raw, is it?
Tonight I made raw soup!
From "The Complete Book of Raw Food" which I think I just may buy:
Makes 8 cups. It says prep is 20 minutes, but I'm not sure where they get that from...it took me like 3 minutes. I made a half-sized batch.
2 medium-sized red or yellow bell peppers (I used an orange pepper. Gotta be unique.) chopped
2 medium cucumbers, chopped
1/2 medium red onion, chopped
1/4 cup cold pressed olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp caraway seeds (I used ground caraway seeds...seemed like a better choice)
2 medium cloves garlic
3 cups water
(I only chopped the veg so far as to make them smaller for the blender. I figure they're all pretty soft, so I didn't bother to chop them much.)
It's like a smoothie!!
I'm finding that I'm having a hard time letting go of junk food. I wonder if it's an "internal" ie mental/emotional, rather than physical. I can take or leave junk, but for some reason I still have it. Weird huh?
Tomorrow will be my first 100% raw day. I'm having raw "oatmeal", aka 1 tbsp flax seeds soaked overnight, and blend with a whole apple, a bit of almond milk, and cinnamon. I'll add some flax meal too, and some nuts, 'cause I like it! I'll be having 3 smoothies during the work day, chock full of goodness, and the soup I just told you about. Dinner I think will probably be raw nori rolls, since I have a 1/2 avocado which needs to be used up.
On to Raw Day 6!
