Farmer's Market Daikon Noodles

Daikon Noodles with Grape Tomatoes and Cilantro

I have been wanting to try Daikon noodles for some time now so when I saw the beautiful organic ones at the Farmer's Market I knew now was the time to get busy with the spiralizer. They are super easy to spiralize and they make beautiful noodles. I love the mild taste, almost like a very mild radish but so much more refreshing. I dressed the noodles with some First Cold Pressed Olive Oil, sea salt, fresh ground black pepper and then topped them with some grape tomatoes and cilantro. This made a very satisfying dinner for me, I just loved it! I have one more Daikon left, I am thankful for that. I need to think of another way to prepare this lovely vegetable. Any ideas??

+JMJ+ Today I am grateful for a burst of energy this morning that got me up out of bed and right into a workout routine! Wow, what a surprise. I have been having trouble just remembering to exercise, so when I woke up ready to get to it, I was very happy and grateful. As I was doing my push ups I was startled by an extra 28 pounds when the two year old jumped on my back! I hit the floor like a pancake. Needless to say I took him off my back and locked the door so I could finish. He thought it was all very funny.

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
