Juice Fast/Feast Day 3

-
I can't believe how fast this fast went!!! The most shocking thing is that I never got hungry. Amazing! Here is what today looked like:
I woke up feeling very well rested and had no detox symptoms. I am very shocked that I have not had frequent trips to the powder room, if you know what I mean. I was hoping for a good cleanse. I may have to take some other measures. I was given a pamphlet on some capsules that actually help to loosen old waste and really clean the colon. Something to think about.
8:45AM Big glass of lemon water
9:15 AM spinach, dandelion, pineapple, sunflower greens, and collard stems left over from the kiddos green smoothie ****This was by far my most favorite juice of the fast, it was so amazing!!!****

9:45AM Dino kale, parsley, carrots--I even shared this one with the three youngest kids. Very yummy.

11:30AM Time for a lemon spritzer
12:00PM Lunch was a "Ginger Fizz" ginger, apple, sparkling water
2:00PM 3 broccoli florets, 2 celery ribs, 3 tomatoes from my garden, 1 mini red pepper, pinch of sea salt
Dinner was grapefruit and apple juice


Snack time tonight was some watermelon, wow I actually got to chew something. It was really good and I felt fine after eating it. I have no idea what I will have tomorrow; I am actually considering doing one more day but we shall see.
I hope everyone has a Blessed, peaceful and joyous Easter!
+JMJ+ Today I am grateful for the phone conversation I had with my sister. Bless her heart; she is in really good spirits from what I could tell.

Happy Easter to you and the gang too.

Glad to hear about sis doing well.

Your fast did go fast maybe that's why they call it a fast? What will you do to break the fast?

Peace Cynthia

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...

Stung by a Scorpion

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...
