RawFu Challenge Days 21 and 22
Day 21
- I sprouted!-I finally tried to sprout some Mung Beans-it took 3 days-they came out fantastic! I used a mason jar and one of those 'sprout lids' for draining. It was super easy and fun to watch. The little bag I bought made A LOT of sprouts. It was kind of a pain to get the hulls out though. Maybe that's why it's called 'harvesting'. The benefit of that process is that you gain patience and you get to 'become one with your food'. The taste of fresh sprouts is fresh and clean.
Breakfast: Red grapes
Lunch:Tomato salad using tomato chunks, sprouts, and olives drizzled with olive oil, touch of Braggs, black pepper, sea salt1 scoop of Sunflower seed cheese w/ jicama, flaxseed crackers
Dinner: Tomato Salad (see lunch below), Rawmakery garlic stix

RawFu Challenge Days 19 and 20
I am back at work but I am going to try to keep this blogging up!
DAY 19
Breakfast- Juicy cantaloupe
Lunch-2 big bowls of gazpacho spicy of course! For this you blend tomatoes, cucumber and any other veggies for a creamy soup. I put chopped veggies on top because I like the soup to have a 'bite' to it. I also had some Rawmakery 'garlic sticks' with it. VERY GOOD STUFF
snack-grapes
Dinner- The last bit of the carrot/cabbage slaw.
Dessert-cantaloupe
If anyone lives near a Winco Market they had cantaloupes for 33 cents each! No not organic but juicy and sweet.
DAY 20!! First day with Students:)
Breakfast- Grapes and almonds
Lunch - sunflower seed cheese (I added chopped veggies to it-sundried tomatoes, carrots, bell pepper all colors, jalapeno****see note, I then seasoned it with cracked black pepper, sea salt, cayenne (I Iike it hot).I used anaheim chili strips, jicama fries and flaxseed crackers as 'dippers'. GREAT LUNCH!!
NOTE: NEVER cut a jalapeno and then attempt to put contact lenses in your eyes (even hours later)!!DUH Yes I did this! Yes it burned like H-E-double hockey sticks! I like my food hot, not my eyes!
Dinner- Salad with mixed greens and my sunflower seed cheese. This may sound weird but I drizzled olive oil and Braggs Liquid Aminos on the salad. It was tasty!

RawFu Challenge Day 18
Wow - I just found out that the local Raw meetup group is having the Boutenko's (the son and daughter) as guest speakers next month. When I first went raw I did it by following the 12 steps raw book by V. Boutenko. I have also read the book Green for Life. How exciting-I am definately attending that!!
Today's meals:
Breakfast: 1 large peach/chocolate almond mylk sweetened with agave
Lunch: anaheim chilis stuffed with garden pate (I spiked it with jalapenos cause' I like it hot!)
Jicama 'fries' sprinkled with cayenne pepper cause' I like it hot! (see the pattern here?)
snack: peach
Dinner: Italian zested flax crackers dipped in the last of the garden pate-yum/a few olives
Dessert: handfull of Goji BerriesI ordered the flax crackers from Go Raw Cafe in Las Vegas. I also got 'garlic stix' by RawMakery (I haven't tried that yet) and greek black olives (salty but delicious).I am so glad the crackers came today-I needed that bread texture feel to my food. It keeps me 100% RAW.

RawFu Challenge Day 17
Today's meals:
Breakfast: Peaches w/ agave and almonds (touch of cinnamon)
Lunch: carrot/slaw salad from yesterday
snack: Goji Berries
Dinner: raw corn, anaheim chilis stuffed w/almond garden pate
Almond garden pate recipe: I don't really measure, I just throw everything in the processor and press start! But I added some measurements here if anyone wants to try the recipe:
almonds (about 1 cup)
garlic (1 clove)
anaheim chili 1/2 of 1 medium size
shredded carrots (1/2 cup to 1 cup)
jalapeno (1/4 of a medium sized one) Add this if you like spicy stuff
olive oil (to get things moist)
I add freshly grinded black pepper and celtic salt
NOTE: I always taste stuff before I remove it from the processor to make sure it has enough flavor-then I add whatever I feel is missing.
Social event- went to the movies to see the Dark Knight -just had water (I have to admit that the popcorn smelled really good)!

August 17th -Rawfu Challenge Day 16
Today was wonderful-- I had these pair of jeans (Calvin Kleins) that I bought a little over a year ago. Well I couldn't get them above my knees then-I had refused to get rid of them (I even left the tags on) because I felt that I should be able to wear them. Well they now FIT-I didn't have to squeeze into them or have my hubby help me zip them, or hold my breath, or lay on the bed to get them on. They actually fit.My family is so happy for me cause' they remember how grumpy I would be when I would try to get into them unsuccesfully. Yea for RAW!! I am not even at my real goal but this is definately a big deal for me!!I get to shop for new duds YEA!!
Meals:
Breakfast - peaches with agave and cinnamon
snack: baby carrotsLunch: tomato soup (1 cucumber, 2 tomatos, 5 sun dried tomatos, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, olive oil) blend til smooth-I add chopped cucumber, olives, and tomatos on the top.
snack: ear of corn with olive oil and lemon pepper
Dinner: I made that cabbage/carrot slaw that Bunny demo'd today. I did not have lemon though, but it was still good. I also added cayenne pepper to mine--I love spicy food.
Oh yea and I added some chopped almonds to the top. VERY YUMMY!
I made enough for 2morrow.
**Temptation Alert--- I went to a baby shower today- There was a veggie plate and fresh fruits so I munched on that. My favorite vegetarian item is potatoes. There was a yummy looking potato salad there!! It smelled great!! The person who made it did me a favor by putting bacon in it!! UGH!! But I was tempted....just for 1/100th of a second hahaha Olympic humor!
