Happy B-day to SB!

Okay, it was Sara Beth's birthday on Sunday but it's never too late to wish someone happy birthday in their birthday month right?!

In honor of her birthday she had a dessert party last night, which you can catch up on here. I thought I'd add a few pics of my own from the evening.

The dessert spread (all raw desserts people! In the center of the pic are blackberry shortcake and blackberry cheesecake. You non-raw foodies are missin' out!):

Blanche patiently waiting her turn in the chair:

My sample plate, which I had already begun sampling (from l to r: mango pudding, German chocolate cake, chocolate and vanilla ice creams drizzled with chocolate sauce with a side of cashew whip cream, and mint ice cream - again, ALL RAW and not made from any dairy):

YUM!

What a treat to be surrounded by a community of raw friends for a birthday party! You all are amazing un-chefs! Anyone who thinks going raw is all about juicing and salads are so wrong! Where do you find the blackberry raw cheesecake recipie or the blackberry shortcake recipie. Wow. I noticed the lates with the painted roses and green leaves -- I have that plate too! Are you already planning your bday party?!

Is Blanche hairless? She looks hairless and looks like her skin would be really cool to the touch.

That German chocolate cake looks really good! I'll bet it's yummy (anything with coconut is yummy, right?)

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding

WEGO Health: Superpower!

We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow
