Alissa's Swiss Cheese = two thumbs up!

I tried the finished swiss cheese... yummy! It's not something i'd eat by itself, definately on a sandwich of some kind. Later tonight i'm going to make a sandwich with the flax crackers I have from a few weeks ago (if they're still good... I need to find a bread recipe though), the swiss cheese, some baby spinach and umm... guacamole maybe? I don't know, i'll figure it out when I make it. :-) But yeah, two thumbs up to the swiss cheese! It definately has a cheesy taste to it.

So far today i've had:
Handful of cashews
A few bites of watermelon
3 bananas
A bite of the swiss cheese
Water

I have a banner!

I have been trying to figure out how to add my own banner on here since I created this blog... I finally figured it out! I made this banner forever ago it seems and now I finally get to use it. Yay!

I made Alissa's Swiss Cheese yesterday and now it's finally done! I tasted the mix before I put it in the dehydrator, it was interesting tasting. I don't know what i'm gonna do with it... maybe try to make a sandwich? Hmm... decisions, decisions!

I'll write more later!

I'm back on it... 100% again!

Today is, again, day one of 100% for me. How can something I want SO bad be so difficult for me? I can't explain to you how badly I want to be raw... I know it's the right way... but damn cooked food and the temptation it brings! I don't even like cooked food anymore, but that doesn't stop the cravings. Grr! But anyways, as I said, it's back on raw for me! And yes, I realize I said the same thing in my last blog entry. *blush*

I finally have all of the ingredients to make one of Alissa's cheese recipes! So after I clean the house today (oh my gosh does it need it!) i'm going to make her Swiss Cheese. Yay!

Oh! My sister has decided she wants to go raw with me! She was reading Alissa's book last night and something clicked in her head, even though a few days prior she had said she would go raw, that was mainly to "support" me. But now she wants to do it for her! Then we watched Alissa's dvd! I sure hope she does this, because that girl seriously needs a change in her life. She has some major issues and maybe this will help in some way.

That's all for now! I'll update later today. :-)

New colors!

I customized the colors of my blog! I don't know if these colors will stay around, and it's not much of a change, but I like them sooo much better than it was before!

I've been cheating so bad with raw foods. :-( I do so well during the day, it's the night time is what kills me. I don't know why I keep doing this... because to me cooked food doesn't even taste good anymore and it gives me stomach aches. My sister told me this morning that she might go raw with me, tonight she said it would be mainly to support me because she sees how much i'm struggling with it. I don't know if she's serious about this, but if she is I would be so grateful to her. To have an all raw kitchen would be awesome! But i'm not getting my hopes up, because my sister has a tendancy to say she'll do things and not go through with them. One can hope, right? :-)

Tomorrow I refuse to let myself go back to cooked food. No matter how hard it might be, I can't do it anymore. My body hates me when I do it. Stupid addiction.

Adventures in making seed milk!

I made my first batch of homemade seed milk! I wanted to make almond milk, but I don't have almonds... I may try making some cashew milk next. So I made sunflower seed milk... omg!! YUMMY!!

Ignore the bowl in the background of the picture. *blush*

1c. of soaked sunflower seeds
About 1 1/2 - 2c of cold water
Raw honey to taste
Blend, strain, enjoy! (and save the pulp for future uncooking recipes!)

Completely off topic... but I woke up this morning to snow! So beautiful! There is already about 1 1/2 inches, and according to the news, we should get between 1-4 inches by 1pm... and then it will turn to rain... the weather casters are such buzz kills haha. I don't want rain!!! Just snow!!!

I'll write more later. :-)

My raw cake/pie!

Here is a picture of my first raw cake/pie that I made a few days ago! The recipe called it a cake, but it looks more like a pie to me. *shrug* I made the crust a little too thick, but it's still yummy!

The picture quality is terrible... I hate using my camera phone! I really need to get batteries for my digital camera.

That's all for now!

Mmm I love fruit soup!

I lasted until 9pm last night on the water fast lol. I'm not disappointed though, it proved to me that I can do it!

Right now I am eating the most delicious chilled fruit soup I have ever made!

- Mango
- Banana
- A few green grapes
- A few frozen raspberries
- A tiny piece of apple (although it didn't affect the taste at all)
.... Blend in the blender and then strain it so it's smooth!

Yummy!

Tonight i'm gonna take a picture of my cake I made the other day and i'll post it. :-) Hopefully i'll be able to get a pretty looking slice out... ;-)

I'll write more later!
