Goodies

I finally made my way to our local raw vegan store and picked up some basic supplies and of course, some goodies. One of those goodies just so happened to be some Dr. Cow's cream cheese. I haven't had any of Dr. Cow's products but have heard good things about it in my blog travels. I was tempted by the cream cheese variety so I picked up one to try. Susan, the co-owner of the store said to buy two! Okay, so I did and picked up some Mauk Family Farms raw breakfast crusts and hickory & paprika raw flax seed crisps to go with it. I'm a cheese n'crackers kind of gal. I was good and waited till I got home to sample with hubby (sometimes I'm not so patient and rip open packages to sneak in a bite or two). My first little nibble of the stuff, by itself, I wasn't real sure about. I had to get the thought of typical cream cheese out of my head. I tried it again with the crisps first and NUM! And then I tried it with the breakfast cracker and NUM! Good stuff! And the breakfast cracker is super good by itself too.

It felt good to get to the raw store and stock up on stuff I was missing (figuratively and literally). I also picked up some yacon powder. Should be interesting. I was hoping for the liquid form but they were out of the one we wanted. Anyone tried this stuff? Powder? I think it should be awesome in smoothies.

Oh and going back to the cream cheese snack. Hubby made a fun snacky creation with the stuff I brought home. Taking one of the hickory flax crisp and a Mac n'Cheese cracker and dipping it in the cream cheese. He thought it tasted like a mock smoky salmon and cheese thing and I thought it was just plain tasty! LOL!

Anyway, as I stock up on some much needed supplies I'm hoping to get back into the kitchen. So to all of you who are whipping it up and showing off your wonderful creations on your blogs, please keep it up! You're inspiring and motivating me.

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!

Image
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"

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
