PHEW!!

Finally! I'm back.
I have had a few things going on here lately hence not updating but now I'm Back!!

Okay, My challenge is on hold for a little while but I am going to be sticking to a good routine for the next few weeks, about 6 - 7 weeks actually, during the kids Summer School holidays.

Yesterday I got some Sprouts going, Alfalfa Sprouts, Broccoli and Garlic Chive also I am soaking and sprouting Short Grain Brown Rice....yep! You heard that right....Brown Rice AND it is Sprouting, this is to make Rhio's Rice Crackers.
I also made some Nomi Shannon Sunny Pate also Raw Yogurt and Almond Milk. I didn't throw away the Almond Pulp from the Almond Milk, instead I put into an air tight container and put it into the fridge until today then I made some Cookies with the pulp. I made the recipe up as I went along and I have to say, on tasting the mixture before it went into the dehydrator was YUMMY!

Almond Pulp Cookies
To the Almond Pulp I added some
chopped dates
chopped Walnuts
1tsp Vanilla Powder
Agave Nectar
Coconut Oil

Mix it all together. I put about 1 tbs of the mixture onto the dehydrator trays using the mesh screens. I slightly flattened each cookie and made it into circles. I will dehydrate overnight on about 100° - 105°

After putting the Cookies into the dehydrator I also thickly sliced a Water Melon and put that into the dehydrator also, on the mesh screens. Yummy Cookies and Water Melon tomorrow....MMmm

I bought some more uncook books last week.

Rhio 'Hooked On Raw'













This is a FANTASTIC! Book as are a lot of the Raw books I already have. Rhio's book also has a lot of information in it to help folk following a raw food lifestyle.

I also bought Dr Graham's 'The New High Energy Diet'



















I am still going through this book.

I am looking at buying a new Fridge Freezer in the next couple of weeks. I am thinking of a Frost Free. I used to own a Frost Free Fridge Freezer but then when that broke down I bought an average Fridge Freezer but the Frost Free is the best, so a Frost Free it will be. The Fridge Freezer I now have is far too small and it has developed a fault and is not draining the frost away at the back of the Fridge....GRRRR so annoying. When the frost melts off the back of the Fridge it is running to the floor of the Fridge and turns into ice which I then have to keep chipping off and if I don't it freezes Fruit, Veg etc that is near the back of the Fridge. I am looking forward to having a new BIGGER Fridge Freezer. I was thinking of buying an Amercian Fridge Freezer but I think it might be a bit too big for the space available for the Fridge Freezer.

I am off grocery shopping tomorrow. When I get back I am going to scrub through my Bathroom and other jobs and then I am hoping to exercise. I have decided to exercise 4 days a week and do a different DVD each day.

BACK TOMORROW
