Watch this Movie!!

I saw this movie a couple of months ago, along with another movie called Fresh (I highly recommend that one as well). It will change how you think about your food. Check it out!

Must share this experience...

Denny and I are in Santa Ana, California right now attending some courses for our business, hence the reason I haven't posted in a while...BUT we having been eating some delicious meals since we've been here so I thought I would share :-)

Okay, so I was going to post some pictures, but it isn't working so here is a link to the website of this super delicious restaurant called 118 degrees.
www.shop118degrees.com

Check it out! We ate some stuffed mushrooms, then I had the lasagna, and strawberry cheesecake for desert. What a treat! Everything was so so so good and good for you! No guilt at all! I love indulging in desert and not feeling bad afterward. Jude had samples of everything and I think he loved the lasagna best (my favorite too). As luck would have it Jenny Ross, head chef and owner of the restaurant wrote a book called The Art of Raw Living Food, so I bought it and I'm excited to try some recipes. I'll be posting as I try them. I also just purchased and excalibur dehydrator (www.excaliburdehydrator.com) so I am real excited to incorporate that into some of my recipes. Be on the look out!
Happy healthy eating,
Mandy

Coconut Oil

Many of the recipes on this blog call for coconut oil. It has been a running joke that I am half-coconut. I absolutely LOVE it in all forms...shredded, flakes, milk, young coconuts, mature coconuts, coconut oil, coconut water...you name it, if it comes from a coconut I'll eat it :-)
We buy coconut oil in bulk from http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/
They have a great website with lots of good information so check it out!

What is a Vita-Mix??

The world's coolest blender...I even hesitate when I say the word blender because it is so much more. I have had a vita-mix for more than 7 years and I use it everyday, multiple times a day. It is absolutely incredible! It is especially handy now that I am making Jude's baby food. Every time I turn it on he starts flapping his arms :-) You can check out their website at www.vitamix.com
