Raw Food Group Potluck

If you are interested in improving your health and lifestyle then a raw food group is a great way to learn more about raw foods and healthy living. Our raw food group meets at my house the third Wednesday of every month. These people are always interesting and interested. We bring potluck where we share our favorite raw food recipes, and we encourage each other to live as healthy as we know how. Those that can't bring a raw food dish for one reason or another pay $5.00. Good people and good food. What a combination!

Here are some pictures from our last raw foods potluck.

The ones of us that come to the raw food group are at various levels of raw, but we all agree that raw foods are good for our health and they taste good.

Here are three of the recipes I contributed. These are very plain recipes that I modified from Dr. Fielder's Farm Recipe book. I need to eat as clean as possible right now and that is why I selected these recipes.

IN THE PINK OF IT – SALAD (The Farm Recipe Book) - modified

1 beet

¼ or less of cabbage

6 parsley sprigs

3 celery sticks

1 sweet apple

Grate beet and apple. Shred the cabbage, finely chop parsley and celery. Toss all ingredients together. Serve with raw milk cheese.

CORN SALAD (The Farm Recipe Book) - modified

1 package of frozen organic corn

1 red bell pepper

1 onion

A few green leaves – I used parsley

Juice of 1 lemon

1 tsp honey

Thyme

Place thawed corn in bowl. Dice red bell pepper and onions. Tear greens in to small pieces. Juice lemon, stir with honey and thyme. Pour over salad and gently mix.

PEARS A LA TROPIQUE (The Farm Recipe Book) - modified

6 soft pears

½ of a fresh pineapple

¾ cup grated coconut

¾ cup soaked sultanas or raisins (optional)

Mash pears, chop the pineapple into small pieces. Mix fruit together with coconut and sultanas.

To health and happiness.

Happy in the Garden

Yesterday I worked in the garden instead of walking around the neighborhood. It is a different feeling. It's true that I only got in about 6500 steps by the end of the day instead of over 10,000, but it was a different feeling. Travis planted some tomatoes and peppers, I cleaned the lower deck and pulled some weeds. Lucy dug in the dirt and felt so happy. I felt the same way. Working in the garden makes you feel happy and productive. I was puzzled by a plant growing in the herb garden as a weed. I started pulling them out but decided to check if they are edible. Edible weeds, such as dandelion, can be used in our smoothies. I put a picture on Facebook to ask for help identifying the weed, and the consensus is that it is plantain. Some say edible and some say not, but I am inclined to think that it is edible. My brother, Max, lives up in the mountains, and his neighbor says it is edible and the smallest leaves are best with...

The Lou Corona Story

Yesterday, we went to Magic Springs with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren. The landscaping there is beautiful this year. This one little flower didn't let a little concrete stop it. Lunch today was three bananas which I ate about 1:30. I'm letting my body rest a little bit after eating too much food the last couple of days. I did domestic chores today. But Travis made a trip to the City Compost Facility for another load of compost. We'll use it on the trees we still have left to plant. We have a volunteer tomato plant coming up in one of the garden beds. It's doing pretty well, too. I have it on my to do list to buy some more tomato cages. The arugula I planted is up. The kale Travis planted is up. The new plum tree is planted. Here is a volunteer Poke Salat that came with the blueberry plant. Travis planted some more blueberries in the blueberry row that lines our driveway. The...

Alko Shredder

It was chilly this morning, but I got out and worked a bit in the garden bed that had the strawberries moved out yesterday. I fed it with the mineral supplement and fertilizer. I started putting on compost, but ran out of time before I finished. We are going to plant some kale in this bed. Bed #3 weeded, minerals added, fertilized, and partly composted. Travis and I went to an estate sale today. First thing we saw was a garden shredder. We bought it for $60.00 and brought it home. There are lots of leaves in my yard that could be shredded. Our new used Alko shredder...made in Germany. For dinner tonight I made a soup. The inspiration came from Dara Dubinet on her You-tube video, but mine was different because I used what we had. My vegetable soup recipe: Juice a beet, 6 carrots, 3 broccoli stalks, and a sweet potato. Then heat a pot of water on the stove, but do not boil. In the Vita-Mix, put 3 med...
