Happy RAW Mommy

-
What could make a raw mommy so happy?? My three youngest boys drinking green lemonade with me on Sunday morning!! The older two would have been drinking it with us but they were sleeping in. :) And the fact that Eric Jr, our 4 year old had a huge bowl of raw kale for breakfast, made me even more happy!!! These kids are getting serious about the raw foods. I couldn't be happier. We have some health issues in the family and there is nothing more important than a raw diet for healing. As much raw as I can get into the rest of the family the happier I become.
The green lemonade we made was absolutely wonderful! I ran out and the kids wanted more. Next time I'll double the batch.
GREEN LEMONADE


RAW Green Energy

Three Little Cups for Three Little Boys



Eric James Jr., 4 yrs Old

Aidan Joseph, 23 months



Mason Anthony, 6 yrs Old











GREEN LEMONADE

3 small apples, remove seeds
1/4 of a large cucumber
1/2 a head of organic romaine
3 large handfuls of organic baby spinach
1 small stalk of celery with leaves
1 large lemon with peel

Run everything through your juicer and enjoy the green goodness!


My juicer is the L' Equip XL Wide Mouth Juicer. I love this juicer. It is very powerful and very easy to clean. Those are the two features I was looking for when I did all of my research on juicers. Right now this juicer fits my needs perfectly. The next juicer I will be getting is a manual wheat grass juicer, once I learn how to grow wheatgrass. Peace and have a green juice today!!
~JMJ~ Today I am grateful that my children actually enjoy raw green juices and raw foods that I prepare. My wish was that the rest of the family could transition into a high raw diet, I have been raw since Nov. 09, and that wish is coming true, more and more each week. Peace and RAW Health!

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 you set you

My First Post

~ 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 gratitude.

Health Benefits of Sea Vegetables

Elizabeth's Sea Vegetable Salad Lunch yesterday was a fabulous salad made with loads of fresh vegetables and  sea vegetables. I used the Creamy Thai Dressing from yesterday's salad dressing post. I decided to use the red pepper flakes instead of the Thai bird chilies. I like things slightly spicy, not overly spicy. The red pepper flakes gave it just the right amount of heat. I enjoyed this salad so much, I was tempted to lick my plate when it was all gone! If you are trying sea vegetables for the first time you may want to use less than I did in my recipe. I really adore them so my recipe has quite a bit. Alter it to your tastes and I'm sure it will be fantastic. Below the recipe I have pasted an excellent article outlining the wonderful health benefits of sea vegetables. It also points out the one sea vegetable you should steer clear of. Please read it and educate yourself. You will be truly amazed at how healthful these plants are. Here is my
