Aimee recently posted on her blog some basic info found on the Raw Network of Washington 's website about the raw food diet. I thought it was helpful that I thought I'd share too. Here are a couple of links which I'll also post in my sidebar. What is a raw food diet? Why raw food? chart created by Bob McCauley I understand that the raw food lifestyle isn't for everyone but there are many things about it that EVERYONE can benefit from in some way; hopefully these links will help answer a few questions.

Hi Faith, thanks for stopping by! What you see is my homemade guacamole. Fresh avos, tomato, LOTS of sweet yellow onions, celtic sea salt, fresh ground cumin, black pepper (white pepper is also very good), fresh minced garlic (4 cloves! but this guac had lots of avocados). Since I didn't have any fresh jalapenos I used Mrs. Renfro's pickled jalapenos (doubt they're raw) - chopped up a bunch of those and added in some of the jalapeno juice, which took place of lemon or lime juice. Guacamole is so flexible so whatever suits your taste buds or heat level would be good. Most people add in cilantro but I'm not a fan so you'll never see my guac with it! :)
I just absolutely love avocados and guacamole is heaven to me so to me this is LOVE.
BJ is in bed and I think I might just get me-self a lil avocado and tomato snack!
xoxxo to my fav sis!
