Day 29.. into Day 30

Day 29 has been another hardish day



Feeling a bit ill and emotionally drained, know this is just bouncing back from flu I had 6 weeks ago, 6-8 weeks standard for me getting back to normal..so just taking my time. Feel like I am abou to fall asleep sometimes.. know it will pass!



Again all I wanted was oranges



Ate 1kg clementines


Blogger wouldnt work last night..hence the delayed post!!

Wide awake this morning, cheesecake ready to go to work..praying it tastes okay!!.. was a big mind foggy last night!!

Anyway post again later

Raw-k on..

Will be continuing into December also, this month has been a big turning point-- by getting rid of the 5-9% cooked in my life, I feel alive and can really, eat what I want and experiment without any fear or guilt-- just pure pleasure and joy at the living foods I can feast on!!

Much love

Clementines...food of the gods!! {Day 28}

So here we are..

Feeling really good and happy after being 100% this long, plan to continue on into December..and the rest of my life!!

Today I had

raw chocolate {{yes I was a bit hyper after this}}

2 Kg Clementines

A little water

Small salad..nothing exciting

--

Now going to making some raw bits for work for friday, they are having a buffet..so going to take raw goodies to wow everyone!!

I am considering more oranges..but not hungry yet, may just juice them and drink the juice instead!!

Clementines is just like liquid gold right now, every part of me craves them!! and so cheap, since in season.. I am going to take full advantage..and buy up as many as I can carry!!

Raw-k on

Thanks for the support from Banana Island crew..and the lovely Suvine :)

Large salad

Afternoon

6 Netacots

1 Mango

Ginger tea

Been un--baking tonight

Made these raw cupcakes for the office

Crust

Coconut

Water

little agave

Filling

Chocolate mousse

Raw cocoa

Carob

Avacado-- 2 small ones

1 handfull soaked dates

as little water as possible to blend-- should be thick and creamy

Enough coco oil to set-- could play with alternatives

poured into moulds, set in freezer, or fridge

Voila!!

Pie!!

Okay I got a bit post happy today

But here is the rough recipe I made up for the pie..

all amounts.. rough..I go by eye!

Crust

Fresh Mature Coconut- 1 small one; Grated all the flesh

Added a little water

Mixed up well

Addedcarob powder- 2 tsb

Raw cacoa - 2tsbVanillaT

ouch of agave- just a drop

Mix it up..check its right for pressing- a little moist still

Press this into pan--- chill

Filling

2 Very ripe Banana

hanful chopped dates/soaked with the soakwater- about 100ml soak water

blend up- should be rich coloured

Pour into mixing bowl

Stir in

Raw agave-- to taste

Cocoa and Carob to taste

vanilla

Coconut oil 2-3tbsp(enough to set it solid)

{ IF it isnt thick enough-- add some more coconut}

Pour this thick mixture into the pie crust, hold back enough liquid to make base for icing---

Icing

A cup full of the filling

Add more

raw cocoa

Coconut oil -- 1tbsp

little agave if needed -- or could add more soaked dates

{ if its too sticky add some filtered water}

mix it all by hand, put it in the fridge to get stiff like icing-- once the pie is fully set 4 hours or so, top the cake with this-- will set hard and make a lovely extra chocolately topping

Raw-k on :)

Day 19

Day 19 -- truley great, so so pleased to be here and 100% Raw. I found now I have broken the cycle of allowing SAD "Treats" I feel better and stronger than ever!!

Normally I veer towards fruit only, but now I am craving greens like crazy..going with it, when my bodys ready it will give me the STOP signal!!

Had a nice day today, relaxing, trying to sort some raw friendly gifts for friends and family.

I took in raw brownies to work and they went down very well. So I made two more batches tonight to take in the morning.

Brekkie

Avo- plain just smushed

A teeny bit of brownie

Lunch

Huge salad, lettuce, carrot and betroot

More greens (crazy for greens right now)

Dinner

Baby Spring Greens with small amount avo and living bread

Pomegranate

Feeling amazing... full of energy and relaxed/chilled all at the same time

Raw-k On!!

Been uncooking.. raw brownie

Cant sleep so thought I would watch cookery programmes, often provides inspiration for raw uncooking.

Also made this raw brownie

it tastes amazing!!

These are the rough ingredients

3 banana's(slightly unripe-yellow no spots) into the blender pulse four times

ADD IN

300g cashews pulsed three times- not too fine

This is like thin pancake batter, pour into large mixing bowl, mix in by hand :

1 scoop coconut oil

Raw cocoa about 2 rough tablespoons

Agave to taste / Could use Lumuca

Mix this all well in mixing bowl and pour into shallow cake tin or an old frying pan base, any mould you like- could so it in muffin moulds

Dehydrate for 3-4 hours until firm yet gooey!! -- Could do for longer if you wanted it more cakey..less like a fudge brownie texture, its lovely and moist!!

Food for Today.. Day 18 Raw-kin! November

Checking in for the evening

Had a lovely relaxing day, going to potter the local organic market in the morning, pick up some ripe fruit then get into work. Theres nothing nicer than having a kitchen full of ripening fruit, but for now the mango is far from ripe sadly!! Tormenting me...

Had two huge salads today

Local Lettuce, organic vine tomatoes, raw sundried tomatoes- the second one I added in a small baby avo and some olive oil.

This has been enough to satisfy me which is good. I will cut open a pomegranate later to eat whilst watching television, sweet and delicious, good raw snack food!!

Anyway thats all for today folks!!

Raw-k on
