Kids Eating Raw Kale Salad

-











Confetti Raw Kale Salad
1 bunch of organic kale, cut into bite size pieces
3 T Cold Pressed Olive Oil
1-2 T Coconut Secret Raw Coconut Aminos
Maine Coast Organic Dulse Granules, to taste
Onion powder
Sea Salt
Pepper
Organic grape tomatoes, cut in fourths
Dehydrated or sun dried tomatoes
Raw sesame seeds
Fresh lemon juice
Directions:
Drizzle the kale w/ olive oil. With your hands, massage the kale for a good five minutes to break down the cell walls and wilt it. This allows the body to digest the raw kale. Now add the lemon juice, ,coconut aminos, dulse, onion powder, pepper, grape tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes and sesame seeds. Toss well to evenly distribute all of the spices. Enjoy!
These are our three youngest children chowing down on the kale salad. We have kale salad in the house almost everyday. It is a staple in our diet. This is one of the most nutritious dark leafy greens you can get into your kids.
Peace & Health.
Today I am grateful for this beautifully sunny day...even though it is sooooooo hot here in SW Florida!

Another Salad Dressing Post

Today I would like to share some really great raw salad dressings. Wait, aren't all salad dressings considered raw? No they are not. Remember, you have to be very careful about the ingredients you use. Raw salad dressings are as unprocessed as possible. Using ingredients that are as close as possible to their natural state. That is why I choose first cold pressed olive oils, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar and coconut vinegar, fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits. You get the picture. But keep in mind sometimes I will use a small amount of ingredients that may not be truly raw. For example, real maple syrup is heated to reduce the amount of water content and to make the syrup into what it is when we purchase it in jars. And I am pretty sure balsamic vinegar is not raw. I still love the taste sometimes in dressings so I don't mind using a tiny amount. I am not an extreme raw foodist . If I choose to eat something that is not raw I am fine with that. Keep it simple or ...

~ JMJ ~ I am happy to start posting on my new blog. I should introduce myself first. I am a wife and a mother of five children. I home school all of my children for religious and academic reasons. I choose to eat a raw living food diet. I love raw food and how this living food makes me feel. I have been eating raw living foods since November, 2009. My goal is to consume foods as close as possible to the way they appear in nature, the way God created them to be. Here I will share my experiences with the raw food lifestyle and great recipes I make/create each day. I will share raw food recipes, my sprouting adventures, square foot gardening and container gardening, favorite raw food book titles, raw food products, kitchen appliances, and tools that have helped me with food preparation. From time-to-time I just might share some homeschooling thoughts, experiences, ideas, and tips. I will also take time to reflect back on my days and find all the ways I can experience g...

Each year we make it a point to travel up to our favorite spot in the mountains. Some times we even get up there twice in one year. We decided to plan a our trip during the week that we normally attend the Homeschooling Conference. This year I just didn't feel the need to go to the conference and preferred a relaxing week in the mountains instead. This is the new cabin we chose. It is in the same area that we always go but we wanted to try staying at a different cabin for some variety. The cabin was lovely and we loved the property. Our views were stunning.  Almost every night we enjoyed a blazing camp fire and even some glutenfree, vegan smores. We even could go on hikes right down the hill of the property we were renting. The kids had a blast exploring all that nature has to offer. We did many other fun things with the children to enjoy our time together. We took some of them horseback riding and the rest of us enjoyed following along in a c...
