My Raw Food Challenge - Begins March 29th

So, call me lame... or not... but I have to admit I did steal this idea from the movie Julie and Julia. Bottom line is... I love cooking. But the thing that facinates me about the movie Julie and Julia is how she managed to stay so skinny cooking all of those things with butter and many other unimaginably bloat-you-up ingredients. And then it dawned on me... why not do the same thing only with healthy cooking! I've been wanting to get into more of the raw food cooking for health reasons and I think this would be a perfect thing to do! So, as of next Monday, March 29th I will be starting the raw food challenge. Aaron and I have spent this weekend spring cleaning our kitchen and have purged our cupboards of anything processed or unhealthy. Our fridge emenates life with only organic spinach, fresh spring mix, strawberries, apples, carrots, fresh basil, green onions etc... all live foods. During this time, Aaron and I (and my sister in law:)) will all be going on an extended herbal cleanse as well as a raw food diet for the next 7 months. We're trying to clear up some health problems and just have an overall healthy lifestyle. The extended herbal cleanse is from our Master Herbalis program that we're both going through and involves cleansing the blood stream, the liver and gall bladder, the colon and the kidneys. We're so excited to start this and I figured since I probably should get into actually using our blog, this would be a good use of it. So... I'll post my recipes... ones that I end up making up and ones that come out of recipe books or online and I'll keep an updated list of when I notice things about my health changing. I'm so excited to finally start this!
