Surrendering to Living Food

Rate this Entry
Went to get some more of dalene's Onion Bread. They were out! Someone had come and bought all they had! Promised to make some and save me 2 boxes for pickup Thursday. Couldn't decide what to get instead. Wanted to try everything. Bought 4 new items, plus another incredible burrito, which I'm saving for tomorrow.

Today's menu:

8:00am Almond milk, with honey and coffee. (Coffee has lost it's top billing status. Will be on it's way out soon!)

11:30am Large mango and small avocado. Power food! Peeled and ate both standing over the kitchen counter. No fuss, no mess.

4:30pm 2 carrots, dalene's quesadillas, w/cashew sourcream and salsa. Still hungry, craving greens. Made large salad of young lettuce, whole package of Trader Joe's micro greens, a tomato, with pine nut mayo, curry flax crackers, Dessert: dalene's Raw Nirvana balls (coconut, cacao, agave, coconut butter, maca).

7:30pm Finished the Raw Nirvana balls. Popped a few Rainier cherries.

9:30pm Was just going to taste dalene's Apple Crumble, but it was half gone before I stopped. And only because I wanted to save some for tomorrow.

I know what your thinking. I probably agree. Do I dare go back there again on Thursday? Will I have enough restraint to get only the onion bread? Maybe not. Better take just enough cash for 2 packages and leave the debit card at home.

It was all about the food today. Living food. And I'm feeling really good. I'm not going to make a plan for what to eat tomorrow. I'm just going to eat what I feel like. The only thing I know for sure it that tomorrow will be another day of living food. I'm still making lunches, and home cooked dinners for my family. They love my cooking, but I have no desire for it. Not one bite. Not the slightest twinge of a craving. Might even say it seems a bit repulsive.

    monk, you work at a health food store, right? And you get raw deliveries? That's great! It is special to eat a dish that we didn't have to prepare ourselves. I couldn't find anything raw at a local health food store, guess they haven't been enlightened yet.

    dakinimind, the onion bread is just like a cracker. It's almost all onion, with a little ground flax seed, nama shoyu and spices. Dehydrated. I have got to get an excalibur and figure out how to make them, or at least try to get a deal on buying them in bulk. My husband doesn't like them, to strong a flavor. Good! More for me.:)

    Yes, I work at a health food store & my raw friend from Fond du Lac (20min away) started her own raw food business just the 1st week in June - she also works at a health food store. Treats are so special~
