RAW Living and Learning

Finally I can post about Day 3 and our graduation. I have been away from blogging because we had to get ready for a 5 night/ six day trip to the homeschool convention up in Orlando so I have not been able to get anywhere near blogger for several days now. I tend to only focus on a few things at a time or I get overwhelmed and grumpy. So my focus the last several days has been on the kiddos and our homeschool convention. We had a great time, but traveling raw and with kids who are gluten free/dairy free and high raw, is always a great challenge. Will post about that later. Day 3 at CHI Sunday, May 1, 2011 Breakfast was served at 8AM. We were treated with the following killer menu: Atifah's Raw Pancakes with Blueberry and Gojilicious Syrups Raw Vegan Bacon Fresh juice OJ Raw almond milk Right after breakfast the food prep stations were humming once again--the roar of Vitamixes and food processors and the hum of numerous dehydrators. We had to prepare kale chips from 9:15-10:...

I have been away from Blogger World for over two weeks--much too long. But so, so much has happened in this short time that it makes my head spin. Some of it stressful, some of it depressing and some of it very, very exciting! I will only focus on the exciting. I am now officially a certified RAW CHEF!!!! I am so excited about that. I made a trip up to Michigan and went through Raw Chef Certification with my wonderful sister-in-law. If there is anyone who can relate to this whole raw adventure it is definitely her! We had a blast and we were overwhelmed all at the same time. Wow what an experience. I will be posting all about it and I have loads of photos. I am still compiling everything and will get it up just as soon as I can. I have been tearing up the kitchen with raw recipes. So much else is going on here that it has been a bumpy few weeks, I look forward to smoother days. Here is my lunch recipe that I wanted to share with you. Whenever organic corn is in season in SW Flori...
