My recipes are RAW. . . NO COOKING!

Let  me begin by saying this.  I find recipes to be restrictive.  When I create a dish it's not from a strict guideline that I have to follow with temperatures and measurements.  I use to do that when I cooked food. Not anymore!

        My recipes are RAW! NO COOKING!  If you cook food you are cooking the intense flavor out of them. that's why you have to add so much to them in ways of seasoning and fats to get  flavor back into the dish. ( I don't even call it food anymore once you've cooked it. It's just not the same.)

      I want you all to be creative in your journey. Discover the health benefits of eating more foods from the ground and trees that are in their natural state.  In order to absorb all the nutrients in food you must be eating them as raw as possible.

     Knowing the why and what behind food choices is most important.   In our journey together you will discover that it's about "wanting" to make nutrient dense choices in the foods that "you" choose to eat.  Food is not to be abused by eating whatever is in front of you because it's there.  It's about caring so much about how you feel and look. It will lead you to food choices that you know will result in energy and anti-aging.

     Listed below I have pointed out for you what nutrients are in the Kale Salad and Cucumber Dressing.       
It's important that you see food as a resource of nutrients and not just as something you put n your mouth.  Everything you put in your mouth MUST have a source of nutrients otherwise you simply don't put into your body.
     It's that thought process that I want you to work on . That is how you transition to a healthier you.
Food is a drug, good or bad.  Know the power of the foods you eat and you will become empowered to make better food choices.  That is my goal.  To teach you more about what is in raw food ingredients and why you need them for daily activity. That is how you will achieve Looking Young, and Living Lean,
