It’s our 2nd day eating raw! I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday and read up on some raw foodism books; one by Carol Alt and the other by Matt Amsden. I bought Matt’s book which is called, “RAWvolution“. I learned from each that there are some essentials that I definitely need to be a successful raw foodist.  Luckily, my awesome brother got me a gift certificate to Williams Sonoma for Christmas so I’m going to make a trip there soon to look for a dehydrator, a couple of vegetable slicers and a new blender. I can get by with the blender I have now but I’d like to get a new one eventually.  Last Christmas, my brother got me a gift card to Cooks Warehouse and I got myself a bad ass juicer (another raw kitchen staple) so that’s one less thing I need to spend money on.

Anywho, this morning I made us a fruit salad with apples, honeydew and blueberries. To it I added some flax seeds and sliced almonds. I juiced some carrots for us to drink.

The routine I’m trying to get us into is fruit for breakfast, salad or veggies with some dip for lunch and for dinner I’ll make something from my new raw cookbook or from an online recipe.

On the weekends I’m going to plan to make a more in depth breakfast but I need to prepare for it. We’ll be making a trip to Whole Foods today so I can buy some more raw staples and the dinner ingredients I need for the next three nights.
