Busy Day

Eating started at 9:30 AM this morning with a tall glass of water mixed with 3 ounces of fresh juiced lemon. (Yes, imperial dates me. Although here in Canada we still post imperial and metric measurements in our grocery stores bulk sales and on labels. Find here is a metric conversion site if you really need to know the measurement in metric.

Afterwards I had a bowl of bosc pear, pistachios, grapes and kiwi topped with bee pollen. Read about some health benefits of this delicious pistachio nut. Buy it raw and preferably in the shell.

Lunch time didn't happen until 3:30 PM. I finished the salad from last night, and added a couple of falafels which were sensational!! wow! They are made of sprouted garbonzo beans(chick peas), sunflower seeds, almonds, red onion, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Nama Shoyu, garlic and curry powder. The recipe is from RAWvolution by: Matt Amsden, a fellow Canadian who lives in L.A. and has an online meal order by the week, catering to the U.S. States. I also drank half a glass of coconut water.

Hours passed before I actually got hungry during shopping for food supplies. I didn't grab anything to eat at that time though. This whole blog is turning out to be an unexpected experiement and is quite revealing to me about my eating habits for sure. It was 9:30 PM before I decided to actually eat, I was genuinely hungry. What I really wanted to do was leave eating until morning. It felt like the best thing to do was to eat something. You remember that frozen dessert I am working on? Well I buzzed some through the juicer topped it with frozen blueberries also through the juicer. The almond coconut blend turned out to be the smoothest creamiest textured dessert I ever have tasted. It is very very good and I want to improve upon it. Adding in the blueberries was, ah, ok.

Ate an orange half an hour later. hmmmm I am wanting to cut out late night eating unless I plan on staying up LATE into the night.

I made some sunflower pate this evening… will share about that tomorrow… also will share about the crackers I will be preparing tomorrow. They were scheduled to be made today and I forgot to soak the whole flax seed. Most nuts and seeds need to be soaked to release enzyme inhibitors. If you grind them in a blender before using, soaking can be by passed.

REMEMBER TO SOAK THE NUTS AND SEEDS!

Evening

mmmmm dinner is salad comprised of, purple lettuce, romaine lettuce, cauliflower, red onion, olives, red and yellow sweet peppers, celery, avocado, black heritage tomato, shredded beet, kale/sunflower pesto, tahini dressing(from 'Raw Food Made Easy' by: Jennifer Cornbleet) recipe

Today I drank a lot of water. Feels like my weight is dropping again. Could be, maybe so.

I sampled a small dish of almond milk blended with young coconut meat and some vanila. The rest is in the freezer being frozen in ice cube tray chunks that will be easy to put through the champion juicer. This will be an attempt to make a version of ice cream other than frozen fruit. Before bed I enjoyed a snack of 2 large kiwi fruit, and chamomile tea then on to- g'night!

hmmm

It is great to see my eating day in pictorial. Gives me a different perspective than viewing from my inner position moment to moment does.

First Food of the Day

No interest in food until 1:30 PM. The heavy metals throw off has been so intense I figured I was not drinking enough water and my fruit consumption had dropped, creating less dilution to aid drainage. The breakfast dish full consists of orange, kiwi, bosc pear, brazil nut pieces, grd. pecans, bee pollen. Topped with one of those tasty vanilla macaroons. 'I'll eat to that'!

I also figure I am not getting enough exercise lately which is easy to remedy. My energy is up, YES!

Night Cap

It is late, I am not tired, feel hungry and want to watch a movie so have prepared a snack bowl. Gawd it tastes sooooo good! Frozen Banana, frozen grapes, frozen blueberries, orange, sprinkled with bee pollen and pecan pieces.

Gosh

I best drop a line or few to keep track of what I am eating, not that I have made a commitment to write down everything I eat… this blog seems to be working that way thus far.

While preparing Falafel for the dehydrator I snacked on some green beans and sesame tahini. After that I felt like a tea and made some roasted dandelion. There was no raw dandelion root on hand. That turned on hunger which I rarely feel since eating raw/living/vegan. Tis a surprise to discover dandelion root will turn on hunger. I ate 4 halves of walnuts as I pondered what kind of meal I would like to eat.

In my fridge is a cauliflower which I do like in salads. Last time I ate this veggie I made it into a mimic of 'mashed potatoes', yep, 'raw'. Nah, don't think so this time. Prolly a salad will speak up more.

Oops, got busy and forgot to make a meal.

Break/fast with Pear

Tis all I felt like eating until 2:30 PM, one golden bosc pear.

Thoughts of a veggie/fruit juice came then at 2:30 PM which I had as well as a very few pecans. Juice was prepared from gala apple, celery, broccoli, cucumber, carrot, black Kale. That worked!
