I Was the Winner of the Coconut Bliss Give Away

-
I won the Coconut Bliss Give away a few weeks ago, from Animal Friendly Eating. Thanks again Kelli. This couldn't have come at a better time. Several weeks ago we cut out dairy and wheat from our 4 year old's diet, and the rest of the family will have theirs cut drastically and eventually cut out as well. He was having some major GI problems and this seemed like the best place to start. I think it will be easier transitioning everyone, especially with store bought treats like this one. I tasted this ice cream and fell in love. Now I am challenging myself to come up with a raw coconut milk recipe I can make in my ice cream maker.
The carton I chose was Cherry Amaretto.































Cherry Amaretto


This ice cream is so creamy smooth and rich. I would have to say that it is by far, better than dairy milk ice cream!!! We are going to slowly go through every one of their flavors so my family can pick their favorite. I saw a chocolate peanut butter and have to get that one for the hubby. He always gets that flavor when having "regular" ice cream. I am hoping this will make it easier for him to transition to a non-dairy brand.
Check out their web site for more information. They have such a great story to tell. I love how their business got started.

Thanks again Kelli. I am really glad that I won your giveaway. Peace and RAW Health.
~JMJ~ Today I am grateful for discovering the best non-dairy ice cream on the market. I am so happy that I now have a creamy, rich, delicious non-dairy ice cream to offer the family. I will of course keep making my raw ice cream, but this will come in handy when we need it for convenience sake.

I am so glad that you had the opportunity to try us & that Kelli was able to provide it.
The Cherry Amaretto is one of my favorite flavors and I can't separate my husband from a pint of the Chocolate Peanut Butter.
Blissful Regards,

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
