I'm Dappled and Drowsy and Ready to Sleep...

[said_scarlett]

Oh man, I still have so much to do today but I'm about ready for a nap already. I've been up since 7:30, and while I've gotten a godly amount accomplished, there's still miles and miles to go before I sleep.

I've looked up some raw food recipes, and I think this will be my first attempt at something other than a fruit salad or veggie plate:

Spiced Cranberry Sauce

2 cups cranberries
1 orange, juiced
1 orange, cut into pieces
peel from 1/4 of an orange, finely grated.
3-4 tbsp. raw honey or raisin syrup
allspice to taste

1) Put all ingredients into a food processor and process to a sauce consistency.

Very simple, I know, but I'm just starting out here! :D For breakfast I had a big hunk of watermelon, and for an early lunch I had a PB&J made with organic peanut butter and tart cherry preserves. It was delicious. I'm going to be making a fancy rice pudding later on today, after I've scrubbed the pots and reorganized the cabinet.

Someday I'll get to my bedroom.

You can find quite a lot of good raw foods stuff on YouTube - which is nice because you get to see a how to, and all that. Ani Pyo used to have several.

Also, if you haven't found Karen Knowler yet, she's wonderful (she's used to have some good vids too)

She has a lot of great into and some nice freebies on her site, I've never bought anything of hers, so I can't attest to that.

... life, I love you, all is groovy... sorry, I couldn't help myself. ^^;

I might try this out, it sounds really good. I've been missing fresh fruits a lot. Thanks for posting!

:D:D:D It was very much a groovy morning.

I am rediscovering my love of fresh fruits. And this recipe jumped out to me immediately! I hope it's as yummy as it looks!

The recipe sounds absolutely delicious! I made my own ceasar dressing over the weekend--well, that and gingersnaps. The gingersnaps don't fall under the raw food category, me thinks.
