Well, I’m back on track.  I haven’t posted for a while, as I was dealing with the yeast issue.  I’ve taken various pills to kill it, and tried to stay on a yeast-free diet – which is the HARDEST diet I’ve ever done.  I consider it impossible if you’re a vegetarian.  The yeast is much better and I’ve returned to my “normal” raw diet.  I’m slowly adding back the juices and some grains and beans, but in low moderation.  A few days ago, I concocted a salad that I just have to share with you.  The picture below just doesn’t do it justice.  It was wonderful.  What’s in it?

RECIPE:  Into a mini-food processor, I put a handfull of raw organic cranberries, 4 sections of organic red grapefruit, 1/2 tsp. flaxseed oil, 1/4 tsp. olive oil.  Processed until all chopped fine.  In a salad bowl, I put sweet butter lettuce (my favorite), 1 green onion chopped, 1/2 avacado in chunks, little sprinkle of gray salt; then I poured the cranberry, grapefruit dressing over it.  YUM!  This would also be good with baby spinach and a few raw walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds.

I’ve been trying to eat one whole avacado each day.  Usually eat half at lunch and half at dinner.  I LOVE sandwiches, have since I was a child.  I get tired of salads, so I put them on a sandwich.  I only use sprouted gain bread, preferring the Food for Life brand.  Here are a few of my “salad sandwiches”.

 I’ve eaten a lot of pizzas lately, too.  I use Ezekiel Bread pita for the crust.  Most of the time, I use an organic pizza sauce or raw tomatoes whizzed in the food processor with herbs.  For these, I used a sugar-free organic ketchup I bought that ended up not tasting anything like ketchup, but it made a good pizza sauce.  A little sprinkle of soy parmesan cheese, then pile on the raw veggies.  I’ve used red onions, red peppers, chopped broccoli, sliced/chopped tomatoes, chopped spinach leaves, with a sprinkle of a raw milk cheese.  I want to make some raw nut milk cheese.  I heat the pizza just until the cheese melts.  These were WONDERFUL!
