Imperfectly Raw Day 3 Aug 21, 2021

Time to go to work!

I woke up at 5:00 to get an early start planning the day…with coffee!

Green smoothie , coffee, water, green juice, coconut fudge, and Emergency-C. Food for the day…until dinner. I didn’t use the water or Emergency-C today.

First meal: At 9:00, I made a Lemonless Ginger Blast because we are out of lemons. The juice was made with collard greens, parsley, cilantro, jalapeño, a pear, ginger, cucumber, celery, and turmeric.

2nd meal: Green Smoothies made with banana, kiwi, mango, broccoli microgreens, frozen mixed fruit, chia seeds, coconut water, and filtered water.

Snack: Raw Coconut Fudge

I worked at the boutique today I wore my mask, doing my best to stay healthy! My friend, Susan, makes Brazilian cheese bread, and she came by about closing time and gifted me some of the bread wrapped in a pretty little white napkin!

I ran out of energy by the end of the day, so I abandoned my plan to make raw pizza; instead, I had a piece of the raw onion bread spread with leftover mock tuna and salad leaves. Then I had a bowl of leftover Minestrone Soup with some rice crackers and a piece of the cheese bread.

My friend Laura arrived from Houston about 6:30. She always raises the vibe when she is here! She brought me some fabulous sprays and oils made by Earth Angel Oils. I love the way they smell.❤️

I went to bed early because I was tired!

My intention is to keep this high raw lifestyle simple and disconnected from pseudoscience as much as I know how. Trying to keep it real, baby. I have learned to trust science and the experts that have improved the public health enormously in the last 100 years while also embracing the idea that we can improve our lives with choices that support health. Love you!

Blessings,

Janis

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...
