A friend of mine has a terrific food blog that I wanted to share. It doesn't exactly "qualify" to be posted on this site, but I am just super proud of her. So if you are interested in some new recipes that could maybe be modified, or if you would like to help someone transition to healthier food in general, check it out!

I just got back from a fantastic vacation in Dallas. 10 days away really was refreshing. And I love how being gone makes me love the mountains and my home so much more. I had a great time with my family, great time with friends, great time at Bliss Cafe... yes, I spent a lot of time there. I think I tried almost everything on the menu. Almost.

Bliss Café in Dallas.

My first Raw Restaurant Experience was stellar. Here's my mom and me showing off the Bliss sign while my dad acts as the photographer.
If you’re ever in the Dallas metroplex – hitting up Bliss Café is a definite raw foodist must. Non-raw foodists are welcome too. At…

Maybe I'll start a petition.

My green smoothie today has dandelion greens, ginger, a pear, one scoop of green Superfood, cilantro, some water to thin it up a bit, and celery.
Speaking of dandelions. When I was a kid, I used to take the seeded buds, make a wish then blow the white, wispy seeds all over the yard - or where ever I was. I'm sure all the weeders of the world were thrilled by that. However, I know all those wishes came true and I played an important role in the pollinization of dandelions. As the song on the soun…

I just looked down at my shirt to see if I'd spilled my morning tea on it. Yeah, my middle name is Grace. I hadn't. But the glance did show me a smallish stain from the other day (I often wear the same shirt more than once in a week...so shoot me). Maybe I should have separate clothes piles. One for "clothes with raw food spills" and another one for "clothes okay to wear another day before washing." Just a thought.
Tomorrow is my One Year Raw Anniversary! Hooray Me! What a difference a year make…

Today is day three of no pain. Try it. I recommend it.
I have a smidgen of stiffness in my wrists but that's about it. Maybe this happened because I restarted doing the daily Five Tibetan Rites yogic practice. Maybe it's because I'm eating more greens and less fruit. Maybe it's because my body finally decided I was serious about healing. Or maybe my chakras and the stars just synced (is that a word?) up and that's that.
This morning drizzly raindrops fell in mists. Wispy, wraithlike clouds of ra…

s posted this website on one of her Tweets.http://1000awesomethings.com/ I'm having a lot of fun reading through it. How simple is it to look at the fun things in life instead of the bad? It's just a matter of shifting perspective. Some of the entries took me right back to the great joy of being a kid. You know, the times when it was okay to go to the park without adult supervision? My siblings and I (and maybe a neighbor kid or two) would spend the entire day outside only coming indoors to scav…

I'm eating up all the greens that were left over in my fridge. Somehow I misjudged last week and either didn't eat what I thought I would or bought too much. This emptying of fresh food is in lieu of doing a four or five day cleanse. I haven't decided yet. Probably, I'll just play it by ear. I want to refresh my body and my mind while I am trying to reevaluate my diet. Up to now it's been predominately fruits with a nice smattering of greens and some nuts and seeds. The information I've been get…

Good Morning my RAW family,

Snow in April. Not that unusual for Colorado. However, it really does seem that Winter and Spring got mixed up or decided to swap months. So long as the roads aren't slick I don't mind. Not to say that I wouldn't rather be home on couch... but heck, that goes without saying.
Last year when it snowed my brother made an army of snowmen in the driveway. Ala Calvin and Hobbes.

Like the Crazy Sexy Cancer Lady (http://www.crazysexycancer.com/) who embraces her experience with cancer I also am embracing my experience with Rheumatoid Arthritis. To tell the truth, I'm glad I have RA. If I hadn't been diagnosed with RA I might never have found the raw lifestyle or learned as much about health and nutrition as I have in the past year - or have discovered the friends who have made this journey fun.
Pain drives us to change. I don't know why it has to be painful but that seems…

Well, my old floor passed away. Hooray! The downstairs wood laminate is in and the laundry room vinyl is in! The floor installer will return on Monday to finish the upstairs bathroom. Because house work always takes longer than the prescribed amount of time. It's like car repairs and American Football time. You have to tack on a bunch more minutes or hours. How long do those guys need to huddle up and discuss that play, really?
Now I want wood flooring for the rest of the house.
This is a Before…

After yet another fall of the weight-loss/raw bandwagon I've decided to set up a blog on blogger chronicling my journey. If anyone would like to check it out and leave me a comment/support I would be so appreciative!

I had my six month check up with my rheumatologist today.
Although I've been able to keep my pain bearable or low with my raw lifestyle (I'll celebrate one year Raw on May 9th) - I haven't been able to completely eliminate the stiffness, swelling and pain especially in my wrists.
The doctor is strongly urging me to start taking Methotrexate.

I've never liked the word
smorsgasbord but I'm feeling contrary today so I decided to title my blog using the word.
I made and consumed a Sunrise Smoothie yesterday. It had mango, carrot, ginger, banana and I added some hemp protein powder... I don't remember what else the recipe called for. It was tasty. Ah, here it is: http://www.fromsadtoraw.com/Recipes/SunriseSmoothie.htm
I'm so ready for the fruit abundance of spring. Peaches. I'm craving peaches. Peaches, peaches, peaches. And reaso…
