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 8 July 6, 2008

I ate some cooked food today. It wasn't much , but it REALLY discouraged me. I thought to myself, "Why can't you do this? What is wrong w/you?!" Just as I was feeling this despair, I remembered how long it took me to become 100% vegetarian & even longer to become vegan. I have to be patient w/myself. I KNOW this is something I want to do. I know I will do this and I know I am worth it. I just have to be patient. This isn't just a change in diet; this is a change in my life! Alexis is going to do raw for 1 week and learn all about it so she can do a 10 hour project w/it for her Personal Progress. I am so excited to work w/her. Abigail says she is willing to be a vegetarian. Yeah!
