My New Raw Project featuring Matthew Kenney’s recipes

I am officially announcing my new raw project. I recently went to see a movie with my family which I rarely do and a preview sparked my interest. Julie and Julia. I was so intrigued by the idea that someone would think of such a fun and adventurous cooking experience for an entire year. I turned to my husband and said “I want to do that raw.” Of course he smiled at me and said, “Sure you can do it.” He is always so supportive. I really was serious. I started thinking how I could do it with my busy schedule (work, school, kids, husband, housework, homework, working out, raw food classes, etc….) I pondered it and I wrote Matthew Kenney back in May to ask him if I could post his recipes on my website. He responded last week and said “YES”. I didn’t make him aware yet that I want to do this project but I will be writing him today to tell him. I know I need to do it. I have to test my limits and just put one more thing on my RAW PLATE:) It is things such as this that keep me going. I always have to have a plan of something to do. I will be using his books, everyday raw and entertaining in the raw and some other recipes from Raw Food Real World.
Everyday for the next year or until I am through the books I will prepare his raw recipes. If I am swamped I will find one that is easy, but on days when I can play I will prepare more involved recipes. I will share the food with friends and families and hope they will love them.
I am looking forward to this endeavor. I know it will challenge me and take me outside of my limits. I will stay faithful to this project and I intend to blog everyday about my preparation experience. I hope that you will come along with me for the journey of Matthew Kenney’s recipes.
Today is my parent’s anniversary as a tribute to them I will start it today:) July 26, 2009. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! 40 years and counting!!
