Famous Pineapple Mango Salsa from CHI

-

Creative Health Institute has some mighty amazing raw recipes, as I posted about in my last entry, and this one is at the top of my favorites list! The combination of pineapple and mango with a hint of heat (I added red pepper flakes) is amazing served in a creamy, ripe, avocado boat. And of course it would be fantastic served with some raw corn chips--wish I had some!
Famous Pineapple Mango Salsa
from Creative Health Institute

2 C diced raw pineapple
2 C diced, organic, raw mango
1/4  organic red bell pepper
1/4 organic orange bell pepper
1/4 organic red onion, diced
1/4 C fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 organic limes, juiced (I used key limes from our tree)
S and P to taste (I omitted)
**I added a good sized pinch of red pepper flakes
DIRECTIONS:
Stir together all ingredients, pour into a serving dish. Enjoy!
I served mine on a bed of salad inside avocado boats and drizzled the juices over the salad greens as my dressing. As I was eating this dinner I couldn't help but think it was good enough to be served at a raw restaurant! This is so delicious and I highly recommend you give it a try. Thanks CHI for all of your wonderful recipes. 

+JMJ+ Today I am grateful for a bucket full of fresh picked "Mystery Fruit"--I picked them myself; thanks to a dear friend who invited me to!! All the details will be in my next post.

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
