Blended Melon Juice

-

Melons have been my fruit of choice lately. I eat an entire melon as my meal. As I type this I have 3 melons ripening on the counter top! There were 4 but I cut one up for  two of the boys--they are melon heads too :)
 I will usually have one for my lunch but today I wanted something icy cold and truly refreshing in the form of a drink. This was definitely a winner!! SO delicious. Melons are everywhere right now in the markets, so why not give this blended juice a try?!


Blended Melon Juice
(serves one)

1/2 of a large yellow melon (I ate the other half)
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
1/2 C ice

Peel the melon, dice into large cubes. Add the melon, cilantro and ice to your high speed blender. Blend until icy smooth. Enjoy!

+JMJ+ Today I am grateful for new discoveries.

Juiced melon with cilantro sounds like a wonderfully refreshing drink on a hot spring day. We will be growing Black Mountain watermelons this year and I will have to try them that way...fingers crossed that they turn out.:)

Is there some advantage in eating the skin sand the seeds please, I have heard that a lot of the goodness is in the skin.

Thank you for your time, Alan

Yes, Alan, there is great benefit in watermelon skin and rind but I'd only use the skin of an organic melon!!!
Peace & 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
