Curried lentils (red ones) – spicy!
100% vegan (also no refined sugar, high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils)... I eat about 75% raw each day… what cooked food I DO eat is usually Ezekiel 4:9 bread, brown rice crackers, or cooked veggies.
I also eat Tropical Source dark chocolate chips every once in a great while.
And Heather’s right—Follow Your Heart “cheese” is REALLY good.
oh supplies -
I live in thailand, which means fresh produce all year around. On the down side, no organic health food shops with supplements, (infact i choose organic where i can, but the stores spray the produce with some spray to sell the fruits and vege’s – it’s all about the look here) no raw chocloate, no mesquite or anything like that and if you order it in, you pay import tax on it. Even finding spiralina is a mission. So there’s up’s and downs to both sides of the fence. hope this makes you feel a bit pearkier those in winter eating raw chocolate!!! My sneak food is dark chocolate and still haven’t quit a plate of chips everynow and then, Althogh suspect this is why I ache all over and have a sinus headache today.
Peanut butter and Jelly on wheat bread is my guilty pleasure, but I eat raw the rest of the time. I have my break downs and I always run to wheat bread or torillas…it could be worse
I agree w/Angella…the things we DO eat that are cooked could in fact be a lot worse… (Like meat or dairy!!)
For me it would be being tempted by fresh crusty grain bread which thankfully doesn’t happen often. Steamed, boiled, baked tubers/root vegetables with olive oil and salt also draw me in if I see them. Brown rice at times. Chocolate once a month and the odd herb, spice or nut that’s been heated.
RawLibrarian- I live in Lorton, about 20 miles or so south of DC. Where do you find the farmer’s markets at? It’s so hard to find fresh organic produce!
I was just talking to my boyfriend about this when he asked me “at what point does someone actually become a raw foodist?” (I don’t think he understands the whole percentage thing.
My weakness is Amy’s organic frozen dinners which are especially bad because they are microwaved.I have one every couple of days for lunch and make breakfast, dinner, and snacks raw.
Plus—I just bought some delicious Ezekial bread and Veganaise. I can’t wait to transform my daily salad into a veggie sandwich.
What I really want is chocolate cake, though!
Anyone got a good raw food recipie for that??
I have a weakness for hommus on salad, sundried tomatos and cooked chick peas. Also, if i’m eating out and HAVE to eat, steamed veggies :)
Also, organic carob mixed with agave – for the chocolate cravings
Red, red wine. It always has been a vice…
I don’t even feel bad about it. All things in moderation!
I have been entirely raw for the past several months… the only non-raw item I consume is herbal and/or greeen tea. I just get so darn cold sometimes!
Glad to see I’m not the only one splurging on cooked vegan food!
I really like soba noodles, beans, cooked squash and sweet potato, peanut butter, whole wheat bread, dark chocolate, energy drinks (Guru) and coffee.
It’s hard to resist the delicious vegan pastries at my coop.
If I can during dinner, I combine raw and cooked. Yesterday, I’ve made polenta and topped it with a raw marinara sauce. Yummy!
Oh yeah, forgot to mention – vodka (with water and fresh lime). ill have a big night out at least once every two weeks. It’s too difficult being this age, with the group of friends I have to never drink. I figure my body can deal with it now occasionally.
When I crave bread I REALLY go for it. Doesn’t agree with me at all. RawHoney, I completely get the chickpea thing. It was my staple when I was eating nothing but cooked. I love Chickpea curry and hummous. I am going to India on Thursday! Pray for me you guys!!! :(
I’ve been loving steamed eggplant and broccoli with olive oil and tomato sauce… and lentil casserole.
i am trying to just go vegetarian for now because every time i go vegan i break it on dairy. I’m still going to keep trying though.
gymjunkie - I am the same. Trying to go 100% raw, but that morning green/mint tea in this Minnesota winter, I cannot do without.
99% raw but I allow myself something cooked and vegan 1 time per week. It keeps me mentally sound and just knowing I can do that makes me happier. I usually go for a slice of vegan pizza at the organic place and it is sooo yummy. Other times I will have some Thai or indian food or a bowl of pasta. I had a major cheat a few weeks ago and had french fries and felt like garbage for 4 days so I won't be doing that any time soon. I have been doing this for about 1 year and it works for me.
There was a time when I wasn't 100 percent raw... then I started eating lots of fruit.
