I got pretty derailed over the holidays, but I got started on the right track this Sunday. Keeping things pretty basic for now. A lot of pea sprouts and sunflower sprouts. A little bit of fruit. Tuesday night was pretty hard, the kids were over and my wife prepared a SAD feast! I behaved myself, but the smell of stuff I wanted and could have easily taken "just one bite" of was really intense!
Last night, on the other hand, I got home and had not desire to eat. I did eat though because I didn't want to wake up craving stuff. I had a good night.

@ Delmar: I'm glad you made it through Tuesday night.

Today I met some friends for lunch at a SAD restaurant that actually allows you to bring your own food in (as long as you have a special diet and if someone in the group is buying some of their food.....). Many of them did but food there, but I didn't have to "white knuckle" it!!!! Here's what I took with me:

So, I made a Date Nut Torte for the group :



And I made Sprouted Barley Chili and Lasagne for them to nibble on:

For me, what else could I bring? Of course!!! ...Pizza and Fruit!!! I packed them in a to go container:





Yes, I did use a plate and eat civilized:

Snacking on Apple Filled Crepe:



This is SOOOOO easy to make!!!! Prepare Alissa's filling from the Crepe recipe in Living on Live Food, hollow out an Apple, fill the Apple with the Crepe Filling. Takes 5 minutes...

Looks delish as always Renee

Thanks G!!! :)

I broke my fast this afternoon with yellow skinned melon. I plan 2 days of 100% raw and then maybe back to juicing for a while.

I am so excited. I was having a handful of cashews as a snack. my 1 1/2 year old son comes over(he just got his molars in) grabs one and chews it up and is not on his 10th one.
Last night my nine year old also decided he wanted to eat and chew raw garlic with me before bed.
I love raw for what it does for me but the fact that my kids are jumping on board here and there makes it more satisfying.
