Holidays… Especially those revolved around food are my absolute favorite time of year! This is when I get to show off to all the SAD eaters how awesome it is to be raw and how pretty and appetizing raw dishes look! I know it is not that hard to make a dish look prettier than a dead carcass, but the level of amazing raw veggies can look on a plate is truly mind blowing. Everything is so bright and lively looking! And the best part is you are bright and lively looking when you are done eating instead of dead on the couch like a sack of potatoes! We don’t need to feel like crap or worry about the holidays! It’s a joyous time!!

This thanksgiving I am making the following:

-Italian style Bree with garden flax crackers
-stuffing
-mashed potatoes
-cranberry sauce
-chick-un Parm
-pumpkin spice roll

I went shopping today for all the ingredients and I will post up every recipe! All of these items I am making is enough to serve 5 or 6 and it cost me under 100$. I don’t want to hear ever that its too expensive to eat healthy! Everything was also purchased organic and local when possible!

Here is a recipe for super easy 3 minute cranberry sauce:

8 oz Raw Cranberries
15-20 softened Diglet Dates
Juice from half a lemon
1/2 tangerine
Pinch cinnamon
Pinch sea salt
Optional- diced jalapeño

Blend all ingredients except tangerine and jalapeño in food processor until desired consistency is reached. Add in diced tangerine and jalapeño and mix by hand. Let sit in refrigerator over night to let the tastes blend together. Done!

I will keep posting as I am making!

Water Filter Review October 6, 2012

 

I have been fussing with water filters since I moved to Florida and no longer had a fresh water spring to go to. Water is the most important thing for your body. Without proper hydration from GOOD water, your cells cannot communicate properly, which throws everything off in your body. If you’re drinking tap water, your cellular communication becomes even worse because of the terrible things found in our faucet water. Everything from chlorine, to toilet paper (the #1 contaminant,) prescription and illegal drugs, and the all deadly fluoride can be found in your glass of water, and it can be causing most of the problems in your body. Just drinking fluoride alone will give you problems in your thyroid, bones, hormones, and most of all, your mind. Chlorine, or, bleach, well, I don’t think I need to tell you what would happen if you drank bleach every. Your water will poison you and could be causing many of the problems that you face daily. Imagine, that with every sip of water you take, you could be self medicating, making your mind numb, and hurting your endocrine system!

After trying many other water filters, mostly those that hook up to the faucet, none ever fully removed the high chlorine taste. I did not even bother with “Britta” or “Pur” because they simply cover up the smell and do not actually clean your water. I also have been using “Taste of Nature” faucet water filter, but it just does not cut it.

About a week ago I finally bit the bullet and bought a Berkey water filter. I didn’t want to because of the price, but finally realized that I’m simply not going to find a filter that actually does its job with out spending a pretty penny.

Today, I got in the Berkey lite, which holds 2 gallons of water at a time. It comes with 2 black  Berkey water filters and I ordered 2 arsenic/fluoride filters on top of that. These filters are capable of filtering the most dirty pond water into perfect drinking water!

I filled her up and just had my first glass! I can honestly say this is the BEST water I have had since I stopped using fresh spring water. I am in complete awe with this system. The water is light, slightly sweet, and incredibly clean! Well worth every penny spent! One of the best things about it, is that if you were ever in a situation where you had no electricity and could not run your faucet, this gravity fed filter would still work! I have not one complaint about this filter, and would recommend it to anyone searching for the best filter out there that removes EVERYTHING! Filters are also cheap to replace, and are good for cleaning 10,000 gallons of water.

If you want some of the best tasting, hydrating water filter there is, I highly recommend this filter!

 

How to Help Neutralize Your Poisonous Water! September 11, 2012

Filed under: Uncategorized — eyeofraw @ 5:29 PM

Living in Florida, i probably get some of the worst water available in the US. There is such ridiculous amounts of chlorine in the water, it smells like a swimming pool every time the faucet gets turned on. I have some very good filters for my shower and my sink, but as of 2 days ago all of the sudden I’m even smelling the chlorine through that! It is like gassing yourself in the shower. Think about this, especially if you do not have a shower filter. When you close that curtain, or the door to your shower, the chlorine filled steam filling the air is nothing more than a poisonous gas you are inhaling, ruining your lungs and your sinuses. 

I wanted to give some tips on how to filter out your filtered water, when the chlorine keeps getting through in an emergency.

First, you can slightly heat your water and let it cool down again. This will help the chlorine to evaporate.

Second, you can allow the water to sit in a pot for 24 hours and let it naturally evaporate.

Both of those methods are difficult for those of us who consume appropriate levels of water. 

The third is a method that is not so well known. Ascorbic Acid. Yes, that crappy vitamin c your local store carries will actually neutralize the chlorine in your water! For every 5 gallons of water you only need 2 grams of ascorbic acid. No, this does not purify your water, but it will neutralize the chlorine. Try it out!

I am ordering a new filter this weekend from Pro Pur, and will report back on how well it does on this highly contaminated pool water coming from my faucet!

Traveling raw is actually pretty easy! The main thing that should concern you is staying hydrated, as flying dehydrates you and there is no good water in the airports! I use Mega Hydrate, an amazing product that will ensure your hydration. I buy mine HERE. I start taking 3 a couple days before i am ready to leave and then take 6 or 7 the day of my trip! I stay hydrated the entire time!

 

 

SUPER DEAL ON PURE DHA/EPA! July 17, 2012

Filed under: Journal Entries — eyeofraw @ 4:28 PM

My absolute favorite DHA/EPA supplement is on super sale for the next 24hrs! Normally 29.99 for 1, Omega Zen is currently on sale through The Raw Food World— $37.77 for three or $13.99 for one.

This is the most pure and potent vegan DHA supplement on the market! I have been using it for over a year and i absolutely love it! Here is an article i wrote on the particular product last year: http://eyeofrawfoods.com/2011/09/24/the-importance-of-dha/

Getting your DHA omega 3′s from marine phytoplankton is the most pure way to get it. Fish are contaminated, and the only reason they have DHA is because they costume Krill. Krill are so pure and high in omega 3 because they live in marine phytoplankton! It is always the best to eat the lowest on the food chain possible, because the nutrients are the most bioavailable. Your body will absorb every bit of the omegas because of this! You can take 1,000mg of DHA from fish oil, but by the time your body processes it, it will be much less. You know that fishy burp you get when you take fish oil? That happens because your body is not able to convert it into a usable substance because of the way the formula was processed. It has most likely completely oxidized and can no longer be used by the body.

So try this amazing product, i know for a fact you will feel a difference! The sale only lasts for the next 24 hours so act now!
