The Raw Food Life - It's not as easy as some say, but here I go again!
I tried and enjoyed a raw food lifestyle for a 4 or 5 month stretch last year. Then came the holidays....
I wandered off the path, but have continued to incorporate a high amount of raw into my eating habits. I'm now ready to take it back up a notch and am having a hard time getting back into the swing of it. Not so much with the motivation, but the organization. And for me, this takes a lot of organization and prep.
Keeping the fridge stocked with wholesome, ready to prepare ingredients is difficult. To create meals with a variety of healthy ingredients that also make your taste buds happy takes planning, as you will see from the list below. Therefore my first step is to write out what I want to eat for the week and build my raw shopping list. It's going to take some fine tuning, as not all of this is in season at my local farmers market. Ultimately I hope to build several more of these lists and order them by season, but first things first! I just have to get back to not craving cooked foods. Also, if anyone out there has TRULY easy raw recipe books for people who are challenged in the kitchen, please share them with me! I have tried Ani Phyo, Jennifer Cornbleet's, and Bryan Au's and they just aren't filling that void.
Here is list one which includes many of my staple dishes as well as one or two that I'm going to try this week:
