Day #49 Creamy Sesame Dressing pg. 84 everyday raw

September 12, 2009

Today was a relaxing day. I was supposed to go to Gainesville but because of my hospital trip last night, I wasn’t able to go:( They cancelled and hopefully we will reschedule this month. I spent the day running errands, and homework. The new produce market opened and I went to buy some veggies. It is spacious and appealing. Very nice colors and comfortable. I bought many veggies and came home to clean a little, then off to my parent’s. Christian and Sabby played with their friend and cousin. We had a fire down by the lake. The fire and the breeze from the lake really helped me calm down and get my head clear after studying Chemistry all day. Gosh, I do love it!

I came home and I was so hungry for a salad. I decided to make this creamy sesame dressing. It was so delicious. I will be addicted to this for at least a few weeks. Sitting here now I would love to make more, but I’m not hungry:) I have cut fruit and agave out of my diet. Ahhh my head is clear and I feel stable in my energy levels. If I eat too much fruit I feel like I could eat everything in sight. This dressing is definitely one of my favorites.

Creamy Sesame Dressing ingredients
nama shoyu (I used Braggs Liquid Aminos)
tahini
sesame oil
agave ( I substituted stevia)
apple cider vinegar
ginger
olive oil
lime juice

It has a hint of peanut butter flavor. I really enjoyed my dinner tonight (a huge salad, with creamy sesame dressing and tomato slices with the red pepper sauce from my gnocchi recipe). Yummy!!

I am trying to form new habits. Working with food has been so challenging for me because I have an increasing desire to eat all of the time. I know it seems silly, but it really is a bad habit I have formed over these last few years. I am working on switching my old habits with new ones. Starting with overcoming emotional eating and my addiction to sugar. I will conquer!
