Ani Phyo's Tomato Tarragon Bisque....my addition

-
Our local raw and living foods group brings in some of the top speakers when it comes to raw health, which is amazing considering the fact that we are a small town way down is southern Florida. A few months ago I was lucky enough to hear Ani Phyo speak. She also signed my two cookbooks and we even got to chat a bit. WOW!!
That evening she demonstrated how to make her yummy Tomato and Tarragon Bisque. You can see the recipe under my full post about her,  Ani Phyo. This recipe comes from her new cookbook, "Ani's Raw Food Essentials".














I decided to make it at home for lunch the other day but of course I had to add something to it, just for fun. I was feeling a little more hungry than usual so I decided to add an avocado. Perfect choice! I really enjoyed this raw bisque. One thing I noticed though, fresh tarragon can really be quite strong. I am use to using dried. So next time I will use less fresh tarragon or perhaps make it the way she did at our demonstration, with fresh parsley instead.

ANI PHYO

What a great evening that was, I don't think I will ever forget it. It  is truly amazing that I have been able to meet, Ani Phyo, Paul Nison and Brenda Cobb, so early in my raw and living foods journey (I will be posting about Paul and Brenda soon). I look forward to meeting and hearing more paramount raw foodists throughout this wonderful raw experience, that I now claim as my lifestyle. Which reminds me, Brian Clement is coming in November!! Peace and Eat More RAW and Living Foods!!

~JMJ~ Today I am grateful for Amish watermelon; it tasted like a Jolly Rancher!!. I will be posting about that tomorrow. Peace.

Seed Yogurt

The other day I came across an article, by Thomas Stearns Lee, NMD, which contained recipes for seed cheese and seed yogurt. His recipes call for Rejuvelac and sunflower seeds, but as usual I improvised and used things I had on hand and created the same end result!  I decided to make the savory Seed Yogurt to be used as a base in my salad dressings or sauces. It was incredibly easy and delicious.  ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ Pumpkin Seed Yogurt By Elizabeth @rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (or raw sunflower seeds) 1/3 cup raw sesame seeds 8 ounces of filtered water 2 vegan probiotic capsules Pinch of Real Salt 1 tsp fresh lemon juice Soak the seeds for 6 hours.

Raw Vegan Spring Rolls

RAW VEGAN SPRING ROLLS By Elizabeth www.rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com Yesterday was another fun day of creating raw, vegan recipes. I was determined to make an alternative to rice paper wrappers when making spring rolls. The texture of this raw, red cabbage is amazing! I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. It is a simple two step recipe to tenderize the red cabbage all the while preserving the essential enzymes and nutrients that raw cabbage possesses. The many health benefits of raw cabbage motivates me to always try and eat it uncooked. But sometimes I prefer it soft vs crunchy, and here is the perfect way to enjoy it.  The first step was to cut out the tough core at the bottom of the cabbage. I then cut about a third of one side off so I could more easily separate the cabbage leaves. Next I placed 7 cabbage leaves in a square glass dish and filled it with water. I then placed this dish in the very bottom of my Excalibur dehydrator.  On the top rack I

Simplifying the Concept of Proper Food Combining

Watch Dr. Clement from Hippocrates Health Institute discuss food combining in a very simple way. His explanation is the one that really stuck, I get confused by the fancy food combing charts out there. He gives you the nuts and bolts of proper combining. Enjoy! Please note that I am terrible at food combining. I eat things together that shouldn't go together, because they taste good together, with the exception of melons; I only eat melons alone!!! I cannot have them with anything else or I double over in pain and bloat. I am a work in progress and some day I will practice proper food combining. If you'd prefer to red about food combing, just look at this info I found at http://www.raw-food-health.net/Raw-Food-Combining.html Raw Food Combining: Your Options Your options for raw food combining fall into 11 categories based not on culinary classifications, but on the actual composition of the food. If you're eating well, though, there are only really eight c
