Authentic Food

The times in my life when I have been successful in staying totally raw for long periods of time have been the times when the foods were prepared quite simply with no flavor enhancements. It seems to me that the more I try to make the raw foods look like or taste like the foods everyone else is eating, the more difficult it is to be consistent. I also find that preparing the raw food recipes in that way leads to much waste of food, as the recipes are not simple, raw and natural nor are they the food everyone else is eating. They are not authentic.
Yesterday, I started the day with lemongrass tea.
Food prep today. I made Dr. Fielder's recipe called Green Lava to eat with my salad at dinner. I made the Green Lava with 1 tomato, several stalks of celery, 3 Tbsp sauerkraut, and about 1/3 of a bunch of parsley blended in the high speed blender. A food processor would work, also.
Made apple juice using 6 apples - juice for two.
I added some chopped up cauliflower and pell pepper to the salsa left over from yesterday.
I ate some almonds about 10:30 which is a little earlier than ideal.
Lunch:
Salsa; Grapefuit; Apple Juice; Almonds
Got a 30 minute sunbath after lunch. Sunbathing is part of the diet!
Dinner: 1/2 of the veggie cocktail leftover from yesterday, salad (spring mix, onions, bell peppers, cauliflower, broccoli); Green Lava; Banana
I am trying to get a sore throat. Healing crisis. That's a good thing.

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...
