Lurking. I am a lurker. I am always here; I suck up all the wisdom here and slink away back to my life.

Well, I am fast approaching 2 months 100% raw (I am usually high raw when not 100%) and I am so loving every minute of it. I remember being very drawn to the weight loss aspect of raw, but that has quickly slid to the side and health and vibrance and clarity have emerged. This is all quite amazing.

Speaking of weight, it is around 141 these days, I am close to where I want to be. Feeling great.

I bought Alissa's book a few weeks ago. It is HUGE! While I was reading it I kept thinking, this book is amazing, it has everything I was looking for, it helps the confused beginner with tips, stories and has soo many great recipes. As I was reading it having all these aha moments I kept thinking of all of you here that constantly say "Buy Alissa's book! It is a wealth of information!" Oh yes it is, and I can proudly join the group that says "Buy Alissa's book!" It is wonderful. If there was any negative, it is that I can't read it in the bath tub! My arms just aren't that strong!

So, what have I been cooking??? Well, not cooking...creating?
Some of my recent favorites have been:

• Creamy Tomato Soup
  V-8 Juice
  Taco Dip (yum-yum-yum!!!)
  Waldorf Salad
  Homemade Raw Pickled Jalapenos
  Zucchini Hummus
  Alissa's Falafel

The week after next I am traveling to Bike Week in Daytona for work and I am a little worried about the week food-wise. I am sure I'll find good choices.
I also discovered a Raw Food Meet-up in my area, can't wait to go to an event.

Until next time!
Peace & Light
