lacking...

i have been so lacking in updating this blog..

i am hoping that today will be a new start. i have already had my morning smoothie.

but its one of those times when i have so many things going on and i am trying to get the schedule down.

it does not hurt that the kid is back home and summer's sweet slowness is coming to an end..

anyway, i am still exploring this raw world.

now i add my barleans greens to all of my smoothies, just to get more green nutrition

we went to a great health seminar back in july @ kennedy king college

i wish that i would have taken pictures or made more notes but i did have a couple of brochures but they are not handy at the moment and i want to get this post up

we also went to a fun event with the folks @ cousins incredible vitality



it involved a bunch of eating and food demos, which i really like

i am really hoping to go to nyc to a class at the natural gourmet institute

its called raw food made easy it sounds like it would be a great hands on intro to exploring raw food..not to mention an excuse to get back to new york..

i have totally fallen in love with the raw trio from totally vegan



its obviously not totally raw with the nachos but its a good go to meal when i am downtown and desperate to have something other than a salad.

the plan going forward is to get to dehydrating..i am hoping this happens within the next couple of weeks.

appreciating..

karyn's raw even more every day

we went for dinner last night

i would have taken pictures but my phone was out of juice

we started with the nachos..Crispy corn tortilla chips with guacamole, sweetened sour cream, black olives, marinated red onions, caramelized jalapenos

i can not wait to figure out how to make raw tortilla chips

for entrees we had the Empanadas - Flax and corn masa pastry dough stuffed with three pepper chorizo and house blend chili spice Served with a side of authentic raw chocolate mole and a salsa verde

and the Tamales - Corn husks filled with organic masa, tomato puree, mushrooms, asparagus, olives, extra virgin olive oil. Drizzled with a raw béchamel sauce and side of chipotle salsa

i loved the nachos and the tamales.. especially the guacamole
they are becoming more and more of a favorite

went to buy avocados from the grocers but they were not that great

gonna check stanley's or wholefoods..

today i am going to try the Barleans Green drink that i have

green drinks are supposed to supply your body with an enormous amount of "superfoods"

today we are going to a live food nutrition class

that should be interesting

i will write about both next time
