My Name is Melissa and I live in beautiful Nauvoo, IL. This is a blog to record my journey on raw food. I will share with you my first 30 days on raw food, some of my favorite recipes, and some very helpful websites. I am sharing because so many people have asked. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at ctradams@juno.com



My Favorite Raw Salad Dressing
Garlic, Ginger Dressing
1 1/2 c. Cold Pressed Olive Oil
1/3 c. Garlic Bulbs
2 Tbs. Ginger (about a 1-2 in. section depending on thickness)
3 Tbs. Nama Shoyu
1/2 c. Fresh squezed lemon juice

Blend all ingredients in a Vita-Mix or high power blender until smooth. This dressing is VERY yummy!

Day 21 July 19, 2008

What a crazy day. I went to the temple w/Jeff and Julie. I made banana "Ice Cream" w/strawberry topping for everyone. Jeff and Julie LOVED it! So did Jamie.
Then I went to Nauvoo Log Cabins for 7 hours and cleaned, did laundry and paper work. I will be working there for the next few weeks. While there, I slipped and had a few handfuls of honey roasted peanust. I need to start bringing raw cashews or almonds w/me.
Yeah! Tom came home today! He said they fed them awful and wanted more raw food. He told Emma Jo he would pay her .50 cents a day if she ate raw. I have more people asking me about this lifestyle. I never expected this! My body craves my Vitalherbs. I get tempted not to take them and my body won't let me. They are Christopher's Original Formulas Vitalherbs Powder. I order them from my friend Jessica Blatter.
