OMG !! You're going to have so much fun ! There are some beautiful place along the pacific coast thru northern california up thru washington! I do hope you will post some pics too! do you have a digital camera? I used to love road trips when I was a kid, well - lol - I still do love road trips - but on an island - we just go round and round! lol!! ;) but it's still fun!

Rawk on lil Kathy!! ;) Sometimes not having much to say is a good thing! means life is on track and real REAL good!! I'm such a good girl - I had a salad myself today!! (I went thru a period not eating enough greens!) have a lovely evening!!

Congrats on the 25 lbs lost for ever!!! ;) That does feel good - and yr right it's not just about the weight loss - but that IS FUN to see!! ;) I always marvel at how beautiful raw food is -- so vibrant - so colorful - so alive.. I can't imagine why I ever wanted to cook the life out of those foods b4!!

yep - been there too!! having to be 'prepared' is a new thing for me. I'm new at this raw thing - and when I was eating SAD.. dh did most of the cooking and I grazed a lot on crap - crackers, chips, cheese... all the stuff I'm not eating now - lol! So I'm really trying to pay attention and BE PREPARED....

Been there! Sometimes I am so NOT prepared. Very bad. yep, you will enjoy the fajitas. I will also scrounge up the mashed potatoe recipe for you made from parsnips. The closest recipe I have stumbled on so far for that. Sounds like you did great today. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the suggestions tiggerbounce... I'm on my way to look for your suggested recipes.

Corn chowder.Definitely try some. I also posted on my blog today the recipe for fajitas that is most amazing.When I got bored last fall I tried the pumpkin pie. Tossed pumkpin pieces into blender with some seasonings like pumpkin pie spices, some almond milk, a small bit of psyllium and then dehydrated overnight and then popped in fridge. Crustless. Was shocked at how good it was. The just like cheesecake recipe on the site is awesome , too. If your bored, try those. Most amazing.

lots of rawbies having those almond butter balls... hmmmm Must be yummy. Kathy is that recipe from Alissas book? if not can you please share the recipe!!

I loooove your menu today... it sounds so wonderful... you even managed to make that green smoothie sound delicious!! ;) RAWK ON KATHY - YOURE DOIN GREAT!! how are you feeling btw -- everything still excellent?!!

I'm glad you're okay - and thanks for explaining what TIA is... wow... at least it didn't affect your appetite... ;) JUST KIDDING!!! JUST KIDDING!!! LOL!! Seriously - I'm glad you're okay... hugs!! ;)

(My episode lasted about 4 hours before I was feeling like myself again and my husband would agree that I was indeed back to myself.) "These TIA's are caused by temporary decreased blood flow to a specific region of the brain by a small blood clot or irregular heart rhythms." They use to be referred to as mini strokes when I first heard of them. With GOD's Grace it was only that. I feel unbelievably blessed. And, I'm feeling great again! Thank you All for your comments! :)

In answer to your question as to what TIA stands for, StarFire, it is a Transient Ischemic Attack. Now, isn't that clearer, LOL. Yikes these medical terms are something else! "A transient Ischemic Attack is a temporary loss of movement, sensation, speech or vision lasting a few seconds or minutes. A TIA will not last longer than 24 hours. Symptoms go away completely. A TIA is a warning sign that you could have a stroke."

easy salad dressing -- Raspberry vinegar added to the same ingredients you listed!! Yumm and glad to see someone else looves flax seed cracker as much as I do! TOO FUNNY - about yr salad.. decided to EAT it as a salad!! LOL!!!

interesting read on your tia?? what does that stand for? AND - I'm so glad to hear that yr doing better after yr last episode. kinda scary!! But GOOD to know that RAW has been a benefit to you! ;)

WOW! YEAH FOR RAW! It sounds like you are doing great. I am starting to get a little more creative myself with food, trying to make "meals", and not just eating fruit. It makes things more exciting. I can't wait to make raw veggie burgers!

I'm so sorry to hear about your TIA... I didn't know what that was until I just looked it up! Eating healthier and incorporating more raw foods in your diet is obviously helping your blood pressure! I know eating a healthy vegetarian/vegan diet will also help with cholesterol issues as well, so I'll be praying that you'll be experiencing even more healing as you go along. It just makes so much sense to take care of our bodies the way God intended! Take care! Mary

Thank you so much for your nice comments, Kathy... it means a lot to me! We had a great message at church today that I felt really spoke to me about God being not passive but ACTIVE in our lives. I often forget that, with the many challenges in my life, and it was a good reminder. I really feel that I'm being blessed in ways I never expected! Thanks again! :)

Kathy - health first... your attitude RAWKs! Have fun at the gym!!

I'm takin notes here Kathy! Your menu is sooo BALANCED! and it all sounds so delicious!! I'm headed off to the store shortly myself... gunna have a RAWKIN BEAUTIFUL salad tonight!

Congratulations. I just posted my first blog ever here on this site today. After reading your blog I realized that I forgot to mention that I'm still eating store bought salad dressing too. I did notice yesterday that it tasted unusual though so maybe my tastes are changing a bit. Great blog and good luck.
