Live eats!

I was so inspired the other day after eating at Omar's Rawtopia!  I thought to myself...I can do this!  Live food makes me feel so good!

I googled eating live food and came up with some really great stuff.  This particular website I found has recipes from across the board, including some of the things I saw on the menu the other day.  I was surprised to find that many of things I needed for the recipes were already in my kitchen!  Yeah!

I already told you we are not going become vegan anytime soon, but I am going to try and prepare my food this way a little more often.  Folks!  It is easy!  Just as easy as opening that processed box of mac and cheese or opening the can of processed soup...well, you get the idea.  It only takes 5-10 minutes to throw together a live meal vs. a dead something or other preserved to sit on my cupboard shelf for years!


I made these yummy stuffed mushrooms to pair with my salmon last night for dinner.  I made them in the afternoon.  Although I don't have a dehydrator, I put them in a low oven for a couple of hours. They were ready at dinner!

Stuffed Mushrooms
1/3 C pine nuts
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 C fresh cilantro, packed leaves, chopped
1/3 C fresh basil, packed leaves, chopped
1 T lemon juice
1 C tomato, chopped
2 T Braggs or to taste

Put all ingredients into a food processor, except the tomatoes, and pulse chop several times. Stop to scrape down the sides and repeat. Add the tomatoes and continue to pulse chop until just blended. Keep a texture to apesto, it should not be a puree. Remove stems from mushrooms and stuff the filling into the cap of the mushroom. Place on a dehydrator sheet and dehydrate at 105 degrees for 2-4 hours.

Most of this food can be made ahead of time and put in the fridge for later.  I have cleaned up my diet a bit in the last couple of weeks to prepare for the spring training...

So good!  So easy!

I encourage you to give it a try.  It makes you feel alive!
