Raw Food Recipe Spanish Rice

Here is a nice raw recipe for spicy "Spanish Rice." Debbie came up with this recipe and it's great! I love to try new raw vegan recipes.

1 head cauliflower (shredded)

1 red bell pepper

5 green onions, sliced thinly

2 Roma tomatoes, chopped

1 recipe of Spanish Avo Mix

Spanish Avo Mix

In a bowl mash 1 avocado

Add: 1 lime, juiced

1 TB basil

1 TB paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 TB Agave or something sweet

1 red hot pepper (I used a jalapeno)*

1 tsp salt

1 garlic clove crushed

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp cumin

Take your cauliflower and process in food processor until finely chopped to resemble rice.

Mix and toss with cauliflower Spanish Rice. I took a huge handful of sunflower sprouts and mixed in it too.

*I used a garlic press to mince the jalapeno pepper. Trying to chop hot peppers is hard to get small pieces. A garlic press minces it and helps it's flavor get distributed all through out the dish and if you have ever chopped hot peppers before you know to be very careful even wear gloves if you can because hours later you could see be having burning sensations on your hands and eyes. Mincing makes less handling.

When I do this recipe again I will use 2 peppers.

Pure Market Express

If you ever wondered how that gourmet raw food arrives to your door via Fed-ex in a disposable cooler packed with ice packs and fresh as can be. This is what you will see when you open your box. This raw food delivery service based in Chaska, MN makes it easier to bring raw food cuisine into your home.

According to Pure Market Express' website:

We source, shop, soak, sprout, slice, dice, dehydrate, pulverize, puree, vacuum-seal and ship generously portioned meals-breakfast, lunch and dinner--plus desserts, snacks and occasional surprises. (There's nothing express about "cooking" raw yourself)

Even if your not raw you'll find Pure Market Express' choices a favorite.

I just received a huge box at my door filled with Lasagna, Bac'un Jalapeno Poppers, Corn Chips and Chocolate Cheesecake.

Let's talk taste:

There was nothing that I didn't like about the tastes of all these gourmet raw food items from Pure Market Express. I keep looking back in the refrigerator for more.

Raw food delivery can be helpful in learning about the raw food lifestyle. It's not all salads. It's gourmet raw food choices that you won't miss cooked foods.

Raw food delivery also is a huge help when we just don't have time to make food for ourselves. Making raw food takes time and especially when your just starting out and never made raw food before.

Gabriel Cousens Simply Raw Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days

Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days is an independent documentary film that chronicles six Americans with diabetes who switch to a diet consisting entirely of vegan, organic, uncooked food in order to reverse disease without pharmaceutical medication. The six are challenged to give up meat, dairy, sugar, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, soda, junk food, fast food, processed food, packaged food, and even cooked food for 30 days. The film follows each participant's remarkable journey and captures the medical, physical, and emotional transformations brought on by this radical diet and lifestyle change. We witness moments of struggle, support, and hope as what is revealed, with startling clarity, is that diet can reverse disease and change lives.

The film highlights each of the six before they begin the program and we first meet them in their home environment with their families. Each participant speaks candidly about their struggle to manage their diabetes and how it has affected every aspect of their life, from work to home to their relationships. Shows what type of foods to eat with Type 2 diabetes.

Processed meat linked to higher heart disease, diabetes risk

Interesting the headlines talking about processed red meat such as bacon, salami and hot dogs may be contributing to heart disease and diabetes. In the news it's saying it was associated with a 42% higher risk of heart disease and 19% higher risk of type 2 diabetes. The study authors, who report their findings in the journal Circulation, noted that salt and preservatives such as nitrites may account for the increased risk.

Sodium nitrite is added to virtually all processed meats as a "color fixer." It makes dead gray meat look fleshy red, and it's added to bacon, sausage, hot dogs, pepperoni and most other processed meats. It's listed right on the label under the "ingredients" section.

The USDA actually tried to ban sodium nitrite from the food supply back in the 1970's, but it was overruled by the meat industry which knew that the chemical made meat look visually more appealing and therefore increased sales of processed meat products. Despite causing cancer, sodium nitrite has remained legal in the food supply to this day.

Swan River Trail Head

We decided to go the "Swan River Trail Head" it was a beautiful day for a walk. Lots of people walking their dogs and bike riding. We got to see some kayakers at the head of the "Wild Mile" and go down the river.

Medical benefits of walking and exercise for diabetes prevention. So get out and get moving where ever your are and enjoy some fresh air, sunshine & exercise!

Dandelion Greens

Our yard is full of these great organic medicinal weeds! Great raw food greens for salads, green smoothies!

Usually easy to find in yards, fields or the grocery store. Just find in areas where they don't spray or might add fertilizers. Find in natural areas.

Cultivate Your Wellness

The wonderful weed has a strong herbal remedy purpose, and can help with digestion and other bodily functions. Dandelion greens are full of calcium, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin K, iron, magnesium, potassium and other minerals.

Dandelion greens also have been used as a diuretic, an agent that promotes the loss of water from the body through urination.

Dandelion roots contain inulin and levulin, starchlike substances that may help balance blood sugar, as well as a bitter substance(taraxcin) that stimulates digestion. The very presence of a bitter taste in the mouth promotes the flow of bile from the liver and gallbladder, as well as hydrochloric acid from the stomach.

Dandelion roots make wonderful colon cleansing and detoxifying medications because any time digestion is improved, the absorption of nutrients and the removal of wates from the body improve as well.

Many people could use a little extra support for the liver.

Rough dry skin and acne, constipation, gas and bloating, frequent headaches, and premenstrual syndrome are all potential symptoms of an overburdened liver.

Important Uses:

Removes poisons from the body

Benefits liver function

Promotes bile production

Removes excess water from the body

Juice Fasting

FRUIT JUICES are the cleansers of the system.

VEGETABLE JUICES are the builders of the body.

Juice fasting is a type of fasting and detox diet in which the practitioner consumes only fruit and vegetable juices. Being available only in digestible carbohydrates, these foods digested rapidly as the juice digestion process expends only a small amount of energy. People choose to undergo juice fasts for various reasons and via various methods.

Juice fasting is a powerful detoxification method and an easy way to lose weight quickly. With juice fasting, you'll consume considerable nutrition through freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, but forgo any solid foods. Juice fasting is a powerful detoxification method because when your body isn't digesting food, your body can divert its extra energy to cleansing itself and eliminating old, unneeded tissue.

Most people don't know it, but our bodies use considerable amounts of energy just to digest our daily meals.

Juice fasting is beneficial for weight loss because your liver, your prime detoxification organ is also your prime fat burning organ. So when you detoxify your body, you are freeing up your liver's resources to burn fat. However, when your body is overwhelmed with the need to detoxify itself, which is common these days, your liver will have a difficult time getting around to burning fat.

Fruit and vegetable juices are the cleansers, energizers, builders, and regenerators of the human system. A combination of either fresh raw fruit or vegetable juices will supple all the enzymes, vitamins, minerals, protein, and fats critical to increased vitality!

To a health clean body fasting comes as natural as eating.

Especially if you're new to cleansing and detoxification, you may experience detoxification symptoms when juice fasting. This can mean you might have headaches, nausea, or feel a bit out of it.

10 Day Juice Feast

Starting tomorrow I will be on a juice fast. It wasn't planned but I've been wanting to do this and a friend is going on the master cleanse and I thought okay it's a 10 juice fast for me! We can keep each other company on our cleanses! I'm looking so forward to this juice fast. Last month I finished a 28 day master cleanse which I lost 24 pounds and feel great. I do the cleanse to cleanse but the added benefit is the weight loss!

I'll keep you posted!

Health Fair Raw Food Potluck

I was only able to snap one photo for the potluck and it was only the desserts. There were so many people here just no room to snap a photo during the raw potluck. There were so many different dishes there. My favorite was the cheesecake made by BerryBliss and the carrot cake.

Wheatgrass & Rejuvilac

Papa Tony's Market was here at the Health Fair with their great products!

Genesis Transformation Booth at Health Fair

This booth was "Genesis Transformation". I thought it was fun to go to each booth and learn about what they had to share. Their program is a health based fat loss program. The health fair was way too much fun!
