AHHH, finally I am feeling better. I am gaining back my raw energy. My cough and congestion persist, but they are improving.
Tonight we had a yummy dinner of yellow squash pasta with a sauce made of tomatoes, a little garlic, fresh basil, olive oil, and a bit of avo for creaminess.
On the side we had "massaged" rainbow chard with olive oil, salt and pepper.
My daughter has joined me for a month of raw. This makes it so much more fun! She really enjoyed the dinner ...

The short version: I was raw, I felt good, I ate cheese, I got sick,sick,sick, back to raw.

I got an email today telling me that they were ...

She is good and I try! It was a lovely peaceful day. I uncooked some delicious date and almond balls rolled in coconut. It was slow and sticky. A rolling meditation. While rolling, I spent a great deal of time thinking about how fortunate I am to be able to sit here in peace and to choose to buy and eat beautiful ...

I have had no trouble getting back to raw after my little detour on Friday night. I just climbed back on that raw horse and was off! My body though, is still feeling the effects. My asthma returned today and I am wondering if I am just now detoxing from the cheese I had 36 hours ago? Dairy products, especially moldy cheeses, not fresh nuts, and very high fat foods make me wheeze. Oh, and also environmental molds. It is very warm and rainy here today with all the snow melting away. Perhaps the little ...
