friend and good food BAREFOOT RAW CREATIONZ!

I am starting this blog up and going again. I have been more established and I keep to continue to find others that like to prepare yummy food! When I think about this blog I remind myself of "barefoot contessa." The whole Idea of preparing food and aways having a yummy meal and good company. BareFOOT raw creations I will call this blog! haha. any who. I shared this moment with a good friend Justin. Justin has been a Chef for 10 years and he is the head chef a chakra 4 in phoenix. It was nice to be around someone experienced and combining our thoughts.

















so, here is a collective effort creation!






Hello collard GREENS. We did not have 4 or more hours to make taco shells, but collard greens is totally the next best thing!














MANGO FENNEL PARADISE with some SPICE (lemon grass/basil/others)



























KIWI LIME SAUCE. amazing, if you ask me.





































EQUALS!!!=




































Raw Corn dish dilish- thinly cut radish/jalapenos/red onion/ pars it up/ and other seasonings!= yum
























equals this!=














okay, okay, so this dish is not raw, but, Justin has never had veganaze and I was like then I am going to make a mean potato salad with green onions and dill. it was good combo.



















The completion on the making and the eating of the food, eh like 5 days ago I made a white tranquility mind body sun tea. and it was the best ever. so. yea. always have to take a picture of the set up of food!





We ate, and DUH, listen to Hawaii records. the end.
PS, if anyone is interesting in doing a raw fest with me, I would love to blog it! let me know!! blessings to all, and all a good day!

I forgot to add one thing, but it was okay. the Constancy was profound to me. flaky in a way? I dont know how to put it..... but it was good. there was also a raw chocolate cake with Orange zest that Gilad made which was AMAZING! i still have some in my fridge.

SOME CRACKERS SOUP AND SALAD

Hello again. It feels like it has been a while since I have last posted. I have not been keeping up well, but I will get into the swing of thing soon. I wanted to share details of this diet plan I am doing for hair analysis and all that good stuff!



I got write up of my body imbalances and now I am taking supplements twice a day and also using a UV red sauna almost every day. My emotions have been more stable and I have things to work with. I am excited about that. So I continue to say that I am not fully raw, but I enjoy the process and how it works for me some days.

I do not have a picture of this amazing smoothie I made but i put lavender in it as well, and it came out amazing.

here are some chocolate sesame seeds cookie bars.. thingys, they are pretty good but potent.



I really love these crackers, I am sure I am going to make more.. Sprouted quoi and carrot and other good things.
That is pretty much what I have made, and kale chips with sesame seeds and soy sauce and garlic, which I didn't take a picture of, dang! oh well.... I ate those really fast.. they are so easy to make!!


this was friday evening, haha... I was totally just laying around not helping at all but showing Dash how to use the blender, (oh yeah I made an awesome DRESSING FOR THE SALAD!!!!).... after a good talk from a friend and this food, I was way stoked on life.
we have here is some raw soup! it was a lot! with the crackers I made and and like the yummiest salad!!! enjoy
(It was too cute, with the kombucha I made as well)



I told Dash he was my model for my blog, so here it is... yum yum food..
it was amazing. good food, good company.

PS... I always make raw coca, coconut, and agave, mix it together and EAT IT, my favorite snack ever. the end.


This is what the craft is about. good food and company. With any type of food made and any kind of company! I just love it. LOVE IT.

FERMENTING

Hello again. My second post, hurray. This one is short and sweet.













I don't much people that I used to. So, i am decided to talk about what is going on with my health and my well being. I have been on this journey to understand my mind body a spirit. I have been sick of my ups and downs and also sick of just being blinded with my health and just trying different eating habits. I have felt that it is time to buckle down and get some real answers. I got hair analysis and getting blood work done.













when I got my results in with my hair analysis, i realized how bad my health was. Really was. I am hypoglycemic and I am going to be on a diet that is recommended for my depression, anxiety, and stress.

FERMENTED DREAMS of........






this is my mess that I made making Sauerkraut.... ahha






THIS IS MY YUM YUM OF STUFF



What I have in the image is!!!: KOMBUCHA!, Sauerkraut, and REJUVELAC.
Raw Sauerkraut: the PRO:
This lactic acid works the same in a jar of fresh sauerkraut as it does in our large intestine benefits of absorbing an entire ecosystem into our own internal ecosystem. The lactic acid from the sauerkraut creates an environment where the introduced beneficial bacteria can reproduce and in turn create more lactic acid.
Lactic acid also helps digestion.
It is also the most important defense we have against harmful bacteria and parasites often present in food
REJUVELAC:
Rejuvelac is an excellent tonic for the entire system. It particularly benefits the intestines and the colon. It is rich in natural enzymes and goes a long way in replacing the flora and fauna of the intestines which have been lost due to the consumption of antibiotics. Antibiotics do not have an "intelligence" that discriminates between the "unfriendly bacteria" and the "friendly bacteria" which are necessary for our very survival.

First Post!

Hello, I have made other raw foods and treats, but yesterday I decided to start documenting! I was talking to myself and I said to myself "why don't I take pictures of my creations till my intention grows of what I really want to happen with my Raw Creationz, RIGHT?" haha. In a later date i will post what I want to achieve in the avenue of my life. Here are some pictures!




This is where all the creation happens, in my parents kitchen



This is the Chia seeds and Cashew Milk, flour, and raw nuts.




This is raw ice cream cake. raw coco, raspberries, coconut stuff, and a walnut crust. YUM



this is my LUNCH. It was really fun to make. I got the idea from this raw cook book I was looking at at Changing Hands. It is a RAW BURGER. haha. with: carrots,kale, cilantro, garlic(a lot), onion,curry,nut yeast, and love duh. Under the raw patty there is avocado, arugula, tomato, and portebella mushroom. It was to die for.. I made one and gave one half to my bro, then I made my partner 2! haha. Anyways, this is one of my favorite meals I have made so far! I made this and ate out side. It was really nice, I said a prayer for the goodness and for the new year and all the elders. it was nice to just be. be with me.

OH Yah, made RAW CHOCOLATE Milk with the raw cashew milk I made. OH GOODNESS. I though chocolate soy milk was good, but this is by far the best. I hope to be making GALLONS of this stuff, for real!

CHOW DOWN IN THE SUN.

Thank you for VIEWING.


This is what I was drinking while this blog was underway.
