What you should know about fluoride

This blog is in no way meant to be a doom and gloom blog. But this video (which is part 3 of 3) is pretty scary stuff on fluoride in drinking water. Worth a watch for sure.

Raw Veggie Spring Rolls

So, we actually had to order Spring roll wrappers from the internet as we had no success finding any locally.  They came in the mail today so raw veggie spring rolls were on the menu for this evening.  I assume the spring rolls themselves that are Chinese are cooked....I am not sure about them.  Anyway, I diced up very fine:  zucchini, cucumber, carrot, orange pepper, red onion and water chestnuts.  I marinated this mix very lightly in a bit of agave, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar with fresh basil and dill and a bit of olive oil.  We also used home grown sprouts and varied lettuces from the garden to our delightul dinner.  Wrapping the softened spring rolls was surprisingly easy and they were DELICIOUS!:)  So fun that Rick is liking this too:)

Day 10 being Raw

Well we are on day 10 and we both feel great. In fact it has not been too bad for either of us. Typical day tends to be smoothie for breakfast. One for lunch along with a salad. Then a snack here and there, nuts, hummus, banana's and the like. Then a nice smoothie and salad for dinner. It has been going quite well.

We had a smoothie yesterday morning that was super good. Here is the recipe...

handful of spinich
one pear
one gala apple
one banana
2 cups water (more or less depending how thick you can handle)

I think that was it. Yummy it was!
