Picture Update

We were on our way to a beautiful wedding that we were REALLY honored and excited to be a part of. Titus decided to take the pic, probably because I don't put on "real" clothes that often between work and homeschooling. Anyway, this old standby outfit is a good gauge for me to measure my size as it use to be a lil' snug to say the least. Anyway, just thought I'd give you a lil update.

Look What I Made!!!

As you know I am making an effort to do the Lifeit Raw Food Detox. Today I made what I consider to be my first complete meal. When I tell you it was delicious, I mean every word. You must try these recipes!!!



Creamy Kale Pre-massage. I could have eaten it right then and it took all I had not to eat it. SN, don't add any extra salt. 1 tsp is plenty as it turns out. You are going to love this dish!!!
This is the Creamy Kale after being "massaged". David begged to have more after a little taste. Mari really loved it too. I want to see if my carnivorous niece likes it. Then I will know it's the bomb!!!




I can't even express how good this tastes. You just have to take 15 minutes out of your day and make it yourself!!!

Here it is all plated up. I knocked the chill of the marinara as suggested at the end of the video above. It tasted so flavorful and fresh. It feels good to know exactly what is in your food.

I know. I know. You hate okra. Well, I hated okra until I grew and made my own last summer, and now I'm sold. Anyway, this dish actually had me addicted...literally. It is totally raw and totally packed with flavor. This is from the Lifeit detox.

I was so excited to find organic stuff for cheap at my local Food Lion grocery store. I use the ground flax seed along with ground chia seeds in my banana smoothies. It makes them really thick and tasty. I made on for dessert today and used coconut water in place of my usual almond milk.

Yea, I know it's not organic, but it IS cold pressed and it IS available at my local Food Lion. Oh, AND, it was ON SALE!!!

Replacing MC with Raw Food Detox

I was sitting here sipping my "lemonade" and thinking about how the whole thing felt pointless. I didn't see a major difference the last time, but I didn't know what else to do. The other thing is that the point is to change my diet. Anyway, I talked to my husband about it he agreed that it was time for me to move forward from MC. I purchased the Lifeit 7 day detox packet and so far I am very pleased.

I broke my very short MC detox with a BEAUTIFUL salad. I made a dressing out of avocado, maple syrup, garlic, onion power, water, evoo, a lil salt, and a lil braggs. OMG!!! The dressing was sooooooo goooooood. My husband put it on the black bean burgers I made. BTW, this time I marinated some mushrooms in Bragg's Amino Acids before putting it in the bbb. I was eating the mushrooms while making the bbb because they were amazing...just wanted to put that out. I'm thinking that next time I might marinate and then dehydrate them. *wipes drool*

Anyway, just wanted to update you on the change.
