Day #94 Coconut “Rice” pg. 166 entertaining in the raw

October 27, 2009

I have had another busy day. The time just flies by on my days “off”. Hmm. Still trying to get used to the housewife mode again:) I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband that wants to take care of me and love me as if we were just married. He lifts my spirits and is comforting to me. It is pretty easy to slip back into my new/old life. It allows me to have so much more freedom and get caught up on life’s blessings. Friends, family, and even bills (yeah I said it, bills). I get to make my recipe during the day now, so it is a change for me. I am more awake when I make it, it sparks more creativity in me.

Today I made coconut rice. Jicama and coconut were the main ingredients. Super easy to make. I love the flavor of it. Lime and coconut are two of my favorite flavors. Its such a light and carefree flavor. It reminds me of my honeymoon, on Blue Lagoon. What an awesome time. Lime and coconut always remind me of turquoise water and a gentle breeze blowing and the smell of coconut lotion on a sunny day.

Coconut Rice Ingredients
jicama
coconut meat
agave
lime juice
salt
coriander
cayenne

I pulsed the jicama in the food processor and added all other ingredients to the vitamix. Added jicama and dressing in a bowl and stirred. Yummy! I am enjoying jicama more than ever. It is a good thing, because many M.K.’s recipes are based on jicama.

I went for a walk today with the dogs, then went to the gym. I am really enjoying the peace I have within me. I thought at first that when I quit my job I would be very depressed and not knowing what to do, but I always kept busy before Rutabaga’s, and now I am just as busy. I am trying to get things situated to start our potlucks at Unity Church. We are planning on doing them the last Tuesday of the month. I have been praying for a long time to find a place that was central in Citrus County and someplace big enough. I think we found it:)

It is my goal to reach as many people as possible about the benefits of Raw Living Food and to show them just how easy it can be to incorporate fresh, whole foods into their lifestyle. I know that it has changed my life and I would love to see how it works in other lives. It is simply the food God intended for our bodies.

What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.
