My raw food journey began in September 2004. Some people may think I'm crazy for living this way but I love how good eating raw foods makes me feel. This is my daily struggle with trying to maintain this type of lifestyle and to attempt to get my boyfriend (who is in the picture with me) to eat more raw foods.

Love it

I love when my friends and family show interest in eating more raw foods and ask me questions on how to get started. My co-worker is getting married in two months and has been trying to eat healthier. She is a chronic dessert eater. She has two a day during the week and treats herself to three a day on the weekends. She is by no means overweight, but tells me that she wants to be lean and have clearer skin like me. We decided that we are going to try to prepare a raw dinner together for our boyfriends. She actually bought me a book for my birthday, 'The Complete Book of Raw Food'. I haven't had a chance to read all of the details, but so far I really like that there are a lot of really simple recipes... especially compared to some of the other raw books I own.

The vegan cake that I wrote about in my last entry was SO good. You have to try it out! I ended up rolling the dough into balls and placing them in the fridge. I actually bought some almonds to make some more but ended up eating them all before I had a chance to make it.

Thank you for all of the birthday wishes! I had a fabulous time with my friends and family... and even ate some pizza. Tasted just like I remember :)
