Day #180 White Tofu and Mushroom Salad Dressing pg. 58 entertaining in the raw

January 21, 2010

I got an A on my hormone test in Anatomy and Physiology 2 class! I can’t believe it. I am ready for this semester now. It was kind of like a nudge for me to get started studying and be strong! I can get through this. I am dreaming awake. I love this lifestyle and I want to always live like this, FOREVER, but to a higher power:)!

I realized a few things today..
1. I want to be a party starter. I don’t like to do clean up. This analogy came to me today in class. I feel like many people want to help people when they are sick, I want to be on the other end of it. I am on the wellness side. The beginning of the party and during the festivities, if you know what I mean. I have never been good at the clean up crew at a party. I know my family can vouch for that.

2. I feel like my life is consistent with inconsistency. I feel amazing most of the time, but sometimes I don’t. I feel like there is always something in this Universe pushing me to be a positive person, and do positive in the world. Sometimes I get away from that and turn inward and self reflect. I think that I do a little self healing then I can go out and heal others.

I am learning so much about myself. I feel like I am finally taking time to see the real me. I am happy!
And I did start making one of the raddest meals tonight. It is going to be so beautiful!

White Tofu Ingredients

1 cup cashews, soaked 1-2 hours
1/2 cup fresh young Thai coconut meat
1/2 cup raw carageenan (soaked irish moss, and mixed with same amount of water in Vita-mix)
1/2 cup water
1/4 t salt

I put all ingredients into the Vita-mix then I lined a glass dish with plastic wrap and poured the mixture in and covered it in the refrigerator. It will be ready tomorrow.

Salad Ingredients

1 cup black trumpet mushrooms (I will use shiitake)
1 T white miso
1 t minced ginger
1 T sesame oil
1 T lemon juice
1 T raw agave

I mixed all ingredients, except mushrooms together in a bowl. I will put this dressing on mushrooms tomorrow.

I also soaked black sesame seeds for tomorrow’s black tofu recipe. I do not have black sesame paste, so I am making my own. Hope it works!

Day #179 Triple C pg. 26 everyday raw

January 20, 2010

Busy, Busy, Busy!! I haven’t stopped all day, well, I did go to the my new class at Unity. It’s called the Quest, and I did rest there. We did a beautiful meditation. I am very excited about this class, it a year long study, and it is getting to know God better:)

I made the Vitamin C drink this morning for Jason before his test. He got an A, I’m so happy for him. I would like to say the drink had something to do with it, but he is a Brainiac. This drink is delicious! I would love to make the same ingredients but with some irish moss:) Yummy, it would have the consistency of thick pudding.

Triple C Ingredients
1/2 cup goji berries
2 1/2 cup frozen mango
1/2 cup young coconut meat
6-8 oranges, juiced
2 pinches cayenne (optional)
1 pinch of salt

I also made my salad today to go with the spicy almond dressing. It was a huge salad and I ate it all and loved every minute of it. I sat outside and did get to enjoy a peaceful lunch, I forgot, so I did rest a little bit. I will make this dressing again!

The blue green salad called for ingredients that I didn’t have. So I made a red orange salad. I used lettuce, beets, carrots and rosemary flax croutons.

I have had a long day today, I just got off work. I felt bad I was there too late! Now I’m going to see what is on Veria. I love that channel! Check it out on Dish Network Channel 218:) It RAWKS!

LISTEN TO YOUR THOUGHTS
Listen carefully to your inner thoughts, no matter how small or insignificant you may judge them to be. Those tenacious thoughts that just won’t go away should be viewed by you as intention talking to you, saying, “You signed up to express your unique brilliance, so why do you keep ignoring it?”-Wayne Dyer
