Elizabeth's RAW Corn and Lentil Salsa

RAW Corn and Lentil Salsa
by Elizabeth

2 ears raw organic corn, cut off cobs
1/4 of a red bell pepper, diced
1/8 of sweet onion, diced
1/8 of a jalapeno, very finely chopped
1/2 C sprouted brown lentils
Lemon thyme, pull off of stems
Lemon basil, chopped
pinch of sea salt
fresh ground black pepper (optional)
Light drizzle of first cold pressed EVOO
4 capfuls of Coconut Vinegar
Generous squeeze of fresh lime juice
Mix all of the ingredients together. Enjoy!

This is summer goodness at its best. I eat this as a side dish and also as a main meal. It is not really a salsa but I just call it that. I suppose you could add in some summer tomatoes chopped fine or mashed and throw in some cilantro and create a salsa for some raw corn chips or raw crackers. Anyway that you serve it I am sure you will enjoy all of the wonderful flavors. I really love this recipe. I hope you give it a try!
~JMJ~ Today I am grateful for cleaning up the garage. What??? Yes, I am actually grateful that I was able to sneak away from the baby, who cries when I leave the room, and get some cleaning done. It is pretty sad that I get excited about more cleaning, but since our fifth child was born I really have to get creative in order to fit it all in. It seems like the younger three get all wild and loud whenever I switch on a vac. So I tend to put it off until I just can't take it any longer and I HAVE to clean. Dirty things freak me out, so this has been a real struggle for me. I am very anal about germs and things out of place. But I must admit, I have come a long way. I am not as bad as I use to be. Five kids will just naturally make you become more laid back about crumbs and toys all over the floor. Peace!

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
