Day 9 of Raw Shred, The Cat, and Sprouting

-
16 oz of lemon infused water

 2 oz fresh wheat grass juice

 Mug of organic coffee with 1 tsp coconut nectar
This morning I decided to use up some older garden seeds I had and do a sprouting experiment. 






 I put these seeds into one of my sprouting jars, filled it with water and allowed them to soak over night. 
Then I rinsed and drained them and put them on the sprouting rack. I will let you know if this mixture even sprouts.
2 mugs of warm lemon water

First Meal of the Day I Blended up:


 frozen raspberries

 4 bananas

 1 T fresh Flax seeds
dill weed


Power to the Greens


Ate in my favorite bamboo bowl.

 16 oz of water

 Throughout the day I just kept sipping on mugs of warm lemon water also.

Post Workout Snack:


 3 medium pink grapefruit

Then we had some fun doing a photo shoot with our oldest sons cat, Starlette. We got him his cat 12 years ago. She isn't the friendliest cat, she makes you earn her love that is for sure!! But she let me get a few snap shots of her today before she got agitated.

Decided to Look Up at Me

I'm Outta Here Lady


Okay, Now I'm Pissed!! Look at My Teeth


Dinner:

I have been lovin my broccoli sprouts these days. If you have been reading my posts over the years you know how much I push the sprouts!! I feel they are an almost perfect food. 


So, tonight's salad was going to be topped with a big mound of them. My salad was simply romaine, some Power to The Greens, white onion, tomato, cucumber, small handful of navy beans, and the sprouts. Dressing was just some ACV with Italian Seasonings.

+JMJ+ Today I am grateful for this self-motivated 9 year old.

He wakes up each morning, gets out his books, looks over my lesson plan, and gets right to work. This little guy finishes his school most days before 10:30am!!! It's a beautiful thing.

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...
