Day 40, I can hardly believe it. Only three weeks to go. I can almost taste those prunes!
I'm still really into oranges but I made myself cut down today. I made a nice carrot, orange, spinach with only one orange. It looked so beautiful in the bowl.
Today was a test of my will power. I helped a friend make a raw meal for his girlfriend for a late Valentine's dinner. She became really excited about raw food after a night of discussing juicing and raw food and looking at my non-cooking books.
Raw meat loaf, onion crackers and a chocolate cheesecake. The cheese cake smelled amazing and I know how good they taste, they are my specialty.
I had three non-raw helpers in the kitchen and they loved the taste of everything- the raw meat-loaf before dehydrating and the bbq sauce to top it. They wanted to dip their crackers in the sauce. The recipe's for the Meat-loaf came from my raw cook book by Juliano. I believe it is just called RAW. The cheesecake recipe was a semi-altered Black Forest cheesecake recipe from The Sunny Raw Kitchen blog. We didn't add cherries and we used all coconut oil instead of adding cacao butter.
It was a fun night but I had to get out of the house after that. I am staying with my juicy friend tonight. Thank goodness because my uncookers where drinking and planning on a long night. I usually have to wear earplugs to bed when that happens.
My juice buddy and I took mid-way photos and compared them to our starting out photos. It's incredible how much we've changed but I am ready for more. I actually fit into her size 6 corduroys. I am not getting too excited though. They seemed a bit stretchy especially to fit on me and my size 12 body. But it felt good anyway!
It's late again, I'm off to bed.
