No more brown thumb!


Yep! Sprouts are the easiest thing to grow...YeeHaw! I've already harvested & eaten some from my first batch and have sprouts appearing in the second batch...I'm like a frickin' 3 year old with excitement here! And, when you read about the amount of nutrients these little guys pack....chock full of vitamins...I'm over the moon!

So, aside from my new hobby...I've been busy as a bee prepping for my annual US visit! Making lots of lists, (virgo much?), airing out travel bags (mildew from living in the tropics much?) calendaring plans....YAY! And hell yeah, of course I've scheduled in gym time (and $). Plus, got a few hikes planned with friends and family...may even catch up with some old friends from waaaaay back-that'll be fun! Aahhh and just the fact that it'll be June in Oregon....really is the perfect time of year for a visit.

So, get ready for lots of pics-I depart 3 weeks from today!

Raechelle,

Great to read you are including green smoothies in your diet, I have a large one every day generally.

If you are interested in recipes emaill me, rawaliraw@gmail.com I know heaps, also there is a great book called Green for Life that talks about the benifits of green smooties and raw food, by Victoria Boutenko.

I am fortunate to have a vitamix, however it is one of the best investments I have made, I use it everyday.

Anyways have a wonderful time in the USA andplease email me if you want any ideas ect..

love and light

I actually just ordered that book earlier this week Ali!!! LOL! But thank for the info...would love a few more recipes-though I'm only doing RAW as a meal (besides the green smoothies) once a month. I've done full vegetarian before (for a full year!)-and I know that I love my meat....but love a combo! Veg, raw,just plain healthy! But, yes-will definitely want some recipes that are "tried and true!"
Cheers mate!
