Eat RAW with me for 7 Days!!! PHOTOS INCLUDED!!!

[ReneeH]

Good morning my Raw Family!!!

Isn't it just a GLORIOUS Spring Day!! I'm bouncing out of bed this morning ready to post another week of Living Raw to encourage newbies and oldies alike! Please feel free to join me, if you can!!!!

For the past week, I've been starting my day with a Green Juice combination...which helps control cravings and gives me boundless energy! Today's Juice will be Kale, Celery, Pink Lady Apples, inch of Ginger, and 1/2 of a Lemon...which cuts the Green taste:

I have a Jack LaLanne juicer, which isn't the best on the market, but it's what I've got right now. Oh, if any one is interested, I will totally take handouts...if you'd like to give me a Greenstar or better juicer, feel free!!!! :dance:

I've been committed to exercising at least 30 minutes every day, so I'm headed to the treadmill.

Tootles for now!!!

[adobegirl]

Sweet! Love your threads. :) :heart

[DandelionPuff]

Sounds good! I won't be eating 100%, but I'll shoot for mostly raw! Right now, I'm having a salad of spinach, bell pepper, avocado, lemon, nooch, and sunnies.
I'll try to upload pictures of what I'm eating when I find my camera CD.

[ReneeH]

Cool!!!! Thanks for joining me, DandelionPuff!!! Here's my Juice:

The Lemon really cuts the Green taste. It's simply DEVINE!!!!!! :)

When I start feeling hungry, I'll have my Pineapple Pizza that I made yesterday.

[Raw Angel Mom]

Wow,.....

Which crust you used???

[ReneeH]

I used the crust from Raw Food For Everyone with the Carrots and added my own spices. It's great the way Alissa has it, though. I used Quick Cheese and made a Tomato Sauce out of Sundried Tomatoes and Dates. I did Sundry the Pineapple, but it really didn't need it...and I think I'll leave it fresh next time and just cut it thin. I also had a simple Salad with it.

I think I'll have more juice for Dinner cuz the Pizza really filled me up.

[ReneeH]

Snacking on fruit...

[Juicerguy]

Nice and thanks for sharing your raw week here. I have started 4 out of the last 5 days with a nice big green juice. I swear I feel so much better on the days I start out with one of those. I actually need to get me some more celery because there is something about celery with the rest of the greens that just does it for me. I have some wheat grass that will finally be of height as of tomorrow also and I can't wait to mix that in! Cool looking juice and awesome pizza idea there! I am going raw June 1st and will have to look up that recipe. Again thanks for sharing this thread.

[ReneeH]

Hey yau'll!!!!

This morning I feel like having a breakfast, so I'm having French Toast (using Manna Bread) with Eggplant Bacon and fruit:

BBQ Chicken Fingers LOLF page 414. I made these yesterday at my work.

http://i517.photobucket.com/albums/u336/Pioneerspiritnee/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_5816.jpg

I made a Raw Ranch (Cornbleet's) to go with it.

[DandelionPuff]

I want your fooood!
I just got home from the gym/yoga, and am soo hungry!
I'm flipping through some recipes trying to decide what I want, haha.
Maybe green juice or broccoli mash or caulitaters or a green smoothie....???? Hmmm....

And, ReneeH- what's the recipe for those chicken fingers??

[ReneeH]

LOL!!! Chicken Fingers are in LOLF (Alissa's book). If you're in Texas, you can order my food! Click link in Signature line under my RawDetoxBox!!!!

[DandelionPuff]

Ahh, of course it is- I see mso many amazing recipes on here that are from her book. Too bad my bday just passed... maybe I'll ask for it for a graduation present :p

I went with a tasty salad for dinner:
Some broccoli/cauliflower mash, one bell pepper, chopped kale and parsley, chopped tomato, with 1/2 of this sauce: 1 avocado, coconut water, cayenne pepper, basil, garlic. I had some berries on the side- super yummy!

[ReneeH]

What'z up Raw Peeps!!!!

Today's Green juice is: Romaine, Cucumber, Lemon, Ginger, and Apples!!! I really, really love this one!!! The taste of the Romaine is very mild, so the flavour of the Lemon and Cucumber really jump out at ya! It's very refreshing...and delicious!!!

http://i517.photobucket.com/albums/u336/Pioneerspiritnee/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_5739.jpg

[ReneeH]

Hey yau'll! I forgot that I had a raw demo class scheduled for today, so I've been nibbling on goodies from class all day!!! I'll be back on my photos tomorrow!!!

Nighty nite!!!

[Raw Angel Mom]

Those barbecue no chicken look like a great idea.

You are so creative

[ReneeH]

Hey RawAngelMom!!!!

I wish I could take credit for that!!! It's in LOLF page 414. I did adjust the spices and OJ in it for more thickness, though...

Hola Rawbies!!!!

Today's Juice:

Carrot, Collard, Celery

http://i517.photobucket.com/albums/u336/Pioneerspiritnee/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_1686.jpg

http://i517.photobucket.com/albums/u336/Pioneerspiritnee/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0699.jpg

It was good...not too sweet, but I can taste a bit of sweetness from the Carrots. *I've been rotating my Greens for each day. *This is the first time I used Collard. *Not bad, not bad. *I don't have the hair on my chest to try Mustard Greens, though!!!! *LOL!!! *Their taste is just too potent for me! *I just bought some beets with their greens, so I'll do something with that this week...

[ReneeH]

"They" say eat 30 minutes after the juice, so it's time for some fruit! 2 Bananas, 1 orange so far!

[ReneeH]

I just LOVE the Pineapple Salad from LOLF page 467, but I just wanted the fruit. *So, I just ate that:

http://i517.photobucket.com/albums/u336/Pioneerspiritnee/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_7283.jpg

I also LOVE to snack on dehydrated fruit, so I added them to the Big "D" for tomorrows snack:

[ReneeH]

Dinner today was 4 Raw Tostadas:

http://i517.photobucket.com/albums/u336/Pioneerspiritnee/Photos/Tostada.jpg

[walnutty]

Hi Renee,

What's your recipe for the tostada shells?

Thanks!

[ReneeH]

I used Onion Bread actually!!! It's REALLY good! Make the Onion bread really, really firm and spread it thicker than a cracker. Had to leave in dehydrator 3 days...But SO worth it!!!

You can also use the Pizza Crust from RFFE if you don't like the onion bread. :)

[ReneeH]

Howdy yau'll! (I'm feelin' Texan today!!!)

Today I'm having a Smoothie cuz I just have no time to wash that juicer out!!! *It's Spinach, Banana, and Pineapple:

http://i517.photobucket.com/albums/u336/Pioneerspiritnee/Mobile%20Uploads/8F8F5FCE-B5D5-498B-B757-857C05440FD0.jpg

Gotta drink it on the road since I'm on the go...

[Frugal Raw]

Hey ReneeH! Good to see that you are still around :woot: So many people that were on here years ago are gone, and it's nice to see a familiar face! I am back in Texas now - DFW area. Do you ever make it up this way?

[fastfreedom]

This thread has me drooling......LOL You're always making delicious stuff. Is the dip for the chicken fingers in LOLF? What toppings did you use on the tostada.....I can see the tomato's and romaine, but what else is on there?......Is that in one of the books by Alissa? Oh my gosh.....my stomach is thinking that cus I see all these pictures that it's time to fill it. HA. Your threads seem to always get my mouth watering.

[ReneeH]

That's what i call a diner, lol...... What a great picture, you look so great and radiant

Thanks!!!! (((((HUGGGGGG))))))


The raw granola looks really good! I can't wait until melons are in season around here again.

Thank you!!! I first had it at Grezzo and never forgot it! I was SO THRILLED to get the recipe in RFFE!!! The melons here haven't been really, really sweet as in years past, but I still love them! I have been known to eat an entire watermelon in 1 sitting!!!! :wow:


Hey ReneeH! Good to see that you are still around! So many people that were on here years ago are gone, and it's nice to see a familiar face! I am back in Texas now - DFW area. Do you ever make it up this way?

COOL!!! Glad to see you're still here too!!! I know what you mean! I get so thrilled to see another Dinosaur like me!!!! LOL!!! That's so great that you're near me!!! I haven't been to Dallas in a while... Be sure to check out my Raw Detox Box! You can get it in Dallas at Tru Meals!!! Just click on the link in my Signature line!



Hey Rawbies!!!!

Well, this is Day 7 today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :woot: It has been a BLAST being with you all this week and sharing my daily food with you!!! This morning I'm starting with Beet, Carrot, and Parsley juice:

http://i517.photobucket.com/albums/u336/Pioneerspiritnee/Mobile%20Uploads/809AB6B0-DF40-41E9-B70D-96E9BCBC753B.jpg

I was really craving some beets, so I really enjoyed this juice. My carrots were small, so I didn't get much juice, but it was still satisfying. Not sweet at all, but good!

[ReneeH]

This thread has me drooling......LOL You're always making delicious stuff. Is the dip for the chicken fingers in LOLF?

Oh my gosh.....my stomach is thinking that cus I see all these pictures that it's time to fill it. HA. Your threads seem to always get my mouth watering.

LOL!!! Thank you so much! The dip was one I just made up myself using Cashews. It resembles Ranch because I used dill in it. For the Tostada I used: Pico de Gallo, Lettuce, and Walnut Taco Meat. I used Onion Bread as the base and just topped it with everything else. It's not in Alissa's books, but you can search this site for the Onion Bread recipe. It's not difficult to make, but it does require a bit long dehydrating time. I leave mine in there over 36 hours to really stiffin it up.

Hey, Mattye...I visited your site and I'm just LOVIN' those BRAIDS, Girlfriend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You GO GURL!!!!!
I'm glad you guys are diggin' the thread!!!! :throwhearts:

[ReneeH]

I'm pretty hungry right now, so the Crepes from LOLF will really hit the spot!!!

http://i517.photobucket.com/albums/u336/Pioneerspiritnee/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_8464.jpg

The Sauce is just Strawberries and a tiny bit of Agave.

[Raw Angel Mom]

These pancakes are my daughter's favorite, lol.... For school, i have to do a coconut cream because nut isn't allow.

You did a great job, nice presentation!

[ReneeH]

Thank you!!! :-). I really LOVE the Coconut Cream one too!!!!


Today my daughter and I decided to make Onion Bread Sandwiches using a Walnut Pate and the Eggless Pâté from Rawvolution. *Both were fabulous! *But we liked the Eggless Pâté a little more:

Dang...Some of the foods you post with the pictures look really good. I told my girlfriend about your raw pizza. She thought that was cool. I just started a raw diet yesterday for the first time ever and I am happy to see that there are so many food ideas for people going raw. In no way are we limited. Pretty awesome and thanks again for your thread. :)

[ReneeH]

[Frugal Raw]

I just blended up a lovely green juice inspired by your kale-lemon-apple-celery blend:) Mine is pear-microgreens-lemon and celery - YUM!!!!!! I am enjoying it with some of my chipotle corn chips I've just harvested from my dehydrator! What a lovely Sunday morning:)

[Raw Angel Mom]

Is it difficult to eat the egg less pate between the crackers or bread you made????

Just curious.

Thank you for this thread, you are the best ReneeH

[ReneeH]

Hey Mattye...that's so cool!!! Hope you enjoyed your delicious beverage!!!!

Hi Raw Angel Mom!!! Not at all!!! It's fabulous! As a matter of fact, we both liked that one the most. The Onion Bread really complements it.

Thanks so much for visiting!!! I'll probably do another thread in a week or two! :-)

[hippie]

I feel inspired to do a thread just like this.... lol. If so, I will get it started tomorrow.
