Eastern Exotic Carrot Salad


Our local Raw Living Foods Group had yet another killer meeting this past Saturday. Our hosts are showing a series of DVDs from The Hippocrates Health Institute. Each month we meet and have a phenomenal raw pot luck followed by the DVD lecture and then discussion and great sharing of each other's experiences. This month's lecture was, "Supplements, Herbs, Algae and Homeopathy".
Upon arrival we were greeted with an "Algaetini" which was fabulous, in my opinion. I would like another one right now, actually. I am patiently waiting for my blue-green algae to arrive in the mail. I ordered some last week. I am glad I chose the one I did because I learned from the DVD that Dr. Clement  recommends that the blue-green algae should come from Lake Klamath. I ordered "Klamath Blue-Green Algae". This particular source of blue-green algae has no outer shell so our body can digest and use it. Even infants can digest this type of algae.
Dr. Clement also recommends taking green algae supplements as well, called chlorella(?spelling?). These are supplements that we should take daily to stay young, healthy and vital. More importantly, algae naturally affects our DNA and the activity of our stem cells. There are pigmentations in chlorophyll and polysaccharides. Algae can aid in building up tissue mass in the body where needed. 
I brought an Eastern Exotic Carrot Salad for the pot luck.  It is from the book, The Raw Transformation, by Rudell. I really like the recipes in this book. I already have made several of them and loved them all. Now that I have my new dehydrator I can make some of the other recipes that look so wonderful.  I added an extra ingredient,to her recipe for the carrot salad, sprouted brown lentils. I always have to add in some of my sprouts to most of my recipes. I love my sprouts!! Here is the recipe:

Eastern Exotic Carrot Salad

1 Cup organic sprouted brown lentils (my addition)
2 lbs organic carrots, shredded
4 T First Cold Pressed EVOO
2 T fresh squeezed organic lemon juice
2 T Bragg's apple cider vinegar
2 T cold pressed sesame oil
2 tsp organic Tamari wheat free
1 1/2 tsp organic miso paste
1/2 Cup finely chopped organic sweet onion
2 T fresh organic parsley
1/4 tsp fresh organic tarragon

Prepare the vegetables and herbs and put into a large mixing bowl. Whisk together the oils, lemon juice, miso, tamari and vinegar. Pour over vegetables and mix well. Refrigerate at least 2 hours to allow flavors to blend. Enjoy!
~JMJ~ Today I am grateful for our local raw and living foods group. I am learning and growing so much thanks to all of the wonderful members. Peace and Eat More Raw!!

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...
