Super Weekend

Hello super friends! It was a super weekend with super awesome weather here! It was practically spring! YS2 took a few bike trips outside.

Did you watch the Super Bowl? I did not. I love football but didn't care about either team. Sorry fans of either. Also, it helps if one has TV...we don't, by choice, so no game or commercials for me. I watched the halftime show online (tsk tsk MIA!). :)

So instead of watching the big game or eating tons of food, I was making raw onion bread. What's sad is I only had enough flax seeds for onion bread so I made a double batch. Not that I'm complaining mind you, I just was in the mood to make more raw stuff. Yeah, I could've gone to the store but I didn't feel like it. Actually, if Raw Vegan Source was open on Sunday, I totally would've gone shopping. You wouldn't believe how long my list is and now it's even longer. When I do go shopping in the near future, I'll have to close my eyes and cover my ears when it comes to the total.
horrible pic I know! It was literally snap and go. I purposely didn't post the 'before' pic because it looked like barf!

I make onion bread every so often. It's so easy and doesn't require many ingredients and they're usually ones i have on hand. Plus, it's a hit with my boys. Especially the munchkin, YS2. Seriously, 24 hours later I'm missing two trays of it.

So anyway, if you are in the mood for onion bread I really like the simplicity of Raw LouLou's version. I used tamari instead of nama shoyu and added in a 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast. Mmm!

If I had all of the ingredients for Sarahfae of Addicted to Veggies Chewy Graham Crackers I so would've made that too.

In fact, I realized I need at least two dehydrators. Wouldn't that be so awesome? I'd have one for savory eats and one for sweet treats.

One thing I've been in the mood for are flax crackers. Anyone have a good recipe or link?

I feel like Seinfeld at the moment. This post is a whole lot of nuthin'! But onion bread is good. I just didn't mean to make a whole post about 'em and then not have any decent pics to show. I've been really really wanting to get more into raw foods and this was my chance to blab about it. Forgive me?

Anyway, I want to make flax crackers. Help me out!

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

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

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
