Bye-bye Starbucks! Bye-bye 2011!

Here is where I share my addiction to coffee, and my resolve to give it up.  Especially Starbucks.  I love their espresso drinks way to much.  I don't need the caffeine, or all the other ingredients they put in those drinks!  I wonder how long I will crave those things??

2012 Resolution - Raw Food Diet! Journal Entry #1

I have a big, ground-breaking, never-heard-before New Year's Resolution to... now get this... LOSE WEIGHT!  Shocking, I know... no one's ever tried this before! (okay, enough of the sarcasm, eh?)


I decided for this year, I would start a YouTube channel, and put myself "out there" and try a new strategy of being really transparent. I want 2012 to be the year I finally have lasting success with a raw food lifestyle, and getting healthy.


Please subscribe and follow my journey! I would love to hear from you, and help support you in your journey as well.

Finally some inspiration for Raw!

Today I finally found some inspiration and motivation that has been non-existent for so long.  I have tried making almond butter and tahini before without success.  Today I decided to tackle making homemade tahini and with lots of patience finally had some success.  You can get my recipe and method on my Raw Food Recipe Project blog.  The success with something so simple has actually given me a lot of hope, and inspired me to keep trying new things.  Finally I feel some motivation creeping back in.  It feels so good!  :-)  My daughter also got a little excited about it.  Seeing seeds turn into butter.  Raw food rocks.
