Vote for 5 in 5

Hello friends! Hope you all enjoyed a sparkly fun 4th! Or Canada Day (on 1st) for some of you…or just a two-day weekend for others...

It was a good weekend here with lots of sunshine! Wait, did I say sunshine? Here? In Western Washington? Yes! We had sun and lots of it (ok, there was one sorta cloudy day and some rain one night) – and heat! Some will say it was a scorcher (80 degrees). I wouldn’t go that far but it was so nice to be out and about in warm weather again. It was much needed and much appreciated here. No doubt our garden has been soaking up the rays.

I noticed over the weekend some of you have entered yourselves in the HotRawChef.com 5 in 5 contest. Woo hoo! Good for you! With a few of you whose blogs I follow regularly, you’re making this vote particularly difficult for me.

For those not familiar with this contest, entrants submit a video of their recipe that involves five main ingredients in five minutes or less – 5 in 5.



Here are three videos from blog friends I follow regularly (the number is their entry number):

#19: Robyn of Girl on Raw (see video here) with her sidekick, Manus, making a cameo appearance (he is so adorable!) – her spicy kelp noodles look so good. I must try!

#20: Shannon Marie of Rawdorable (see video here) – her banana split looks so easy to make and the perfect tasty treat for summer.

#30: Samantha aka Rawkin Mom (see video here) – party cucumber slices with nut cheese made in a nut grinder. Talk about easy cleanup! And I love her Michigan accent.

There is some serious competition here – so many videos submitted, including one from cutie raw kid, Louis (#35).

I love to support my fellow raw foodies but have to admit this is a tough one! I won’t confess who I’m voting for but it is one of the three ladies above and I hope these lovelies know I love them and wish only the best for each of them. Good luck!

Now, if you’re interested in checking out all the videos submitted go to HotRawChef.com. Or vote for one of my faves above. :) Assuming you’ve never voted before, when you do vote you will receive a free ebook of all the recipes submitted for this contest. Also, with this particular contest, your vote (name) will be entered in a free drawing. You can read about it on their website.

Vote now through July 15th and good luck to all those who entered!

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"

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
