Living Rawesome Day #357 Filling and Chutney pg. 128 entertaining in the raw
July 16, 2010
I have been super busy today. I ordered Water Kefir Crystals and I have been online learning about how to ferment water. I am going to ferment the ginger brew that I have been making. I am just waiting on my grains now. I also have been trying to figure out what bars I want to make. I know I want a chocolate topping but I want a chewy bar, so when I get home later I am going to make one. Most likely I will use chia and almonds with some raspberries.
I made the rest of the Sweet Pea Samosas today. I will put it all together tomorrow, because I am not hungry at all! I ate 3 Midnight Brownies today!! I can’t believe it, I feel rather sick in my belly, but I couldn’t stop thinking about them sitting in my refrigerator. So I took some to my friend Mary and then I took some to Jason and Cathy at work. Now they are gone (PHEW). I don’t need that stuff in my house, I love to make it, but don’t know when to quit! So I had 3 brownies and 2 green smoothies today. For breakfast I had sauerkraut. Interesting day of eating, I have to say.
This recipe will be perfect for tomorrow’s lunch. I am making Cacao Mint Cremes tomorrow. It will be a “minty” meal.

Now I am off to let the kids go swim. But I will be in my kitchen again soon.
