Yummy Food and No more cravings. (Days 7, 8 & 9)

So these past few days have been awesome! Very little headaches, no more cravings and very, very good recipes that I probably wouldn't even have looked at a week ago. I almost feel as if I am "lighter" if that makes sense. I don't feel as heavy. Its probably because of all the toxins and waste that are finally free of my body...Thank goodness.

So I've started reading this book called "Skinny Bitch" and its so good. I'm learning much more about all the things I was eating and how bad they are and were for my body (including meat). Oh, and that soda, coffee, and caffeine are some of the worst things you can consume. Yikes. If you've never heard of this book and maybe want to look into it here's a link you can check it out at: http://www.skinnybitch.net/. Now this ISN'T a Raw food book, but it does give you pretty good tips and information about different things.

I also just wanted to give you guys a quick tip about shopping for nuts. GO TO BIG LOTS. A can of almonds or cashews there is $2.50 compared to $6.00 at Walmart or Publix. :)

Love and Peace to all,
Autumn ✌

Raw Chocolate Bombs!~


Chocolate Bombs

Ingredients~

Any kind of nut you want.. I used a mixture if walnuts and almonds.
Raw Cocoa/Cacao powder
Majool Dates
Pear Nectar (or whatever Raw nectar you have)

First things first, process together the walnuts and almonds until little itty bitty pieces appear. Then add the cocoa powder and process. After that add the pitted dates and stream in the nectar. Process until a creamy consistency appears.

Roll mixture into tiny balls and freeze for about 30 minutes. Now its time to eat!

Raw Tacos!

Raw Tacos:

"Ricotta Cheese"- Cashews, garlic, cilantro, salt and water. Process ingredients and stream in water until rich and creamy. Set aside in bowl.

"Ground Meat"- Almonds, lemon juice, Cumin, Coriander, olive oil, salt & pepper to taste. Process ingredients until it has the texture and look of ground beef. Set aside in bowl.

Guacamole- Approximately 3 avocados, diced or cubed onion, garlic, salt & pepper to taste. Process ingredients until a creamy consistency appears.. Unless you like it on the chunkier side. Set aside in bowl.

"Taco Shell"- All you need is a lettuce head. Peel the outer layers until you have something like a lettuce cup. Peel as many as you'd like and set aside.

Okay, now that you have all of your ingredients, its time to assemble. Take one of your lettuce cups, place the "ricotta cheese" down first, then the "ground beef" and guacamole. Top with tomato's onions, etc! Your done!
