Back on track! Day 2 (again)

I made it 5 days raw last time. Then I had a meat binge. Pork roast and beer sausage. I don't even like beer sausage???? But once I stopped raw, it was hard to get going again. But after a few days, I decided to start again on Sunday. I am allowing myself 50 calories/day of non-raw. Not much, but until I get my teflex sheets, I am having a "lo-carb wrap" once a day. I don't like the nori sheets.
So far I am mostly eating fruit and/or smoothie in the morning; salad w/avocado for lunch. Then its a wrap for dinner. I have been putting some sunny seed cheese dip/spread on it, then grated carrots, spinach, red onions (only a little) and 8 kalamata olives. It is pretty good. I got the idea from a vegetarian restaurant an hour + away. But they put theirs in a large flower tortilla. I thought the wrap was a bit better because it is made from whole wheat grain and has better flavor with the herbs.
I made the sunny dip/spread twice. The first time it didn't turn out very well. So I tweaked the recipe and made it again the next day. I took it with me out of town Saturday and it kept me raw for lunch! My son loves it on bread, and as a dip for chips/vegees.
We're going on vacation Thurs - Sun, and I've researched where to buy organic produce near where we're going. Our anniversary dinner is going to be a salad, because there doesn't seem to be a raw restaurant.
I am really looking forward to the feeling of accomplishment I'll have when I get home and can say I stayed raw on vacation! I'm committed to 30 days this time, and hope that when I get there, I'll be ready for 100% FOREVER!

MoreThis is a reply to # 27,765Way to go Roni! You went longer than I did. My max for completely raw was 3 days. Lately I have been doing about 50 percent fruit every day but I keep eating starches as well. I am glad you are having better luck with your program! Keep it up and congratulations!

MoreThis is a reply to # 27,765Way to go! Sounds like you're eating some pretty yummy stuff. I like to start my day with a fruit smoothie too - I can't bring myself to eat or drink anything else. Is the recipe for that sunny seed cheese dip/spread online anywhere? Sounds luscious.
30 days raw would be a really wonderful accomplishment, and you're going to feel like a different person when those 30 days are over.- Re: Recipe for Sunny seed cheese dip... countrygirl_roni

This is a reply to # 27,767This recipe is from "Warming Up to Living Foods," by Elysa Markowitz. I modified it by cutting portions WAY down, as it only keeps for 3-5 days. This can be a dip or spread, depending on how much water you blend in.
SUNNY SEED "CHEESE" DIP:
Prep Time:
Soaking - 12 hours
Preparation - 10 minutes
Fermenting - 8-12 hours
1 cup sunflower seeds
1-2 cups purified water
1/4 tsp granulated garlic
1/4 onion
I also added: 1 large handful spinach, 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, 1 small handful grated carrot (or carrot pulp from juicing), and 1/4 tsp onion powder.
First, soak the seeds for 12 hours, rinse well. Then process with fresh water and all the other ingredients in a blender (I used my Vitamix), adding enough water to thin the mixture to your preference.
Pour the mixture into a WIDE MOUTHED jar (or glass bowl) and cover with cheese cloth, napkin, etc. Leave out on counter overnight and it will ferment into seed cheese.
IDEAS FOR USE:
I use as a base for wraps. My son uses as dip for tortilla chips (non-raw). OK for vegees. I may try dehydrating these next week????
SUGGESTIONS:
Watch your water. My first batch was very bland and too thin. Use only what you need to get the blender going if you want it thick.
ENJOY!
Rhonda - 3 days down!!!

This is a reply to # 27,777Oh, and in the same vein, a few weeks ago I made up a killer fresh onion dip recipe, which I ate with flax seed crackers that I had dehydrated a lot longer than you're supposed to, so that they were very thin and brittle, and kind of shattered in your mouth the same way that potato chips do - it was really good!
I never measure ingredients exactly but this is a good approximation of what I used - just keep tasting until you like it, and use veggie chips, or super thin crackers, or whatever you like.
2 cups of whatever nuts/seeds you have laying around, soaked overnight (I used sunflower seeds, cashews, and pine nuts)
the juice from half a lemon
1 clove garlic
one slice onion (some friends who tried it subbed green onions/scallions for the white onion but I don't know how much they used)
some celtic salt
Just combine everything in a food processor or blender, and add water a bit at a time if you need to, until you get that nice, creamy, thick consistency. An alternate way is to process all but the onion slice, and juice that instead, adding both the juice, and the pulp, to the dip. Enjoy!
