Day 27

We watched a bobcat catch and eat a bird on Saturday morning and the deer have been more than frequent visitors.  Now if we could just find out how the squirrels are getting into the garage, all would be as it should be.

I have my strength back after a few days fighting a bug.  I do believe that all of the green smoothies and other fresh fruits and veggies allowed me to get back on my feet so much sooner.  So many people are still struggling after 2 and 3 weeks.  I so believe in the benefits of a good healthy diet.

I had totally forgotten about this salad that Noel likes so much - so made it in just a few minutes today.

Corn Cabbage Salad

3 cups fresh or frozen Corn Kernels

3 cups Red Cabbage, diced to size of corn kernels

2 tablespoons fresh Lemon Juice

2 tablespoons Olive Oil

1 tablespoon Tamari

Combine corn and cabbage in a mixing bowl.  Place liquid ingredients in a small jar with a lid and shake well.  Pour over salad and mix in.  Allow salad to marinate for a least 1 hour and then toss again just before serving.

**Corn is one of the foods most likely to be genetically modified.  Please purchase high-quality, non-GMO, organic corn when you can.  Food isn't required to be labeled GMO; if you purchase organic, it will not be genetically modified.  I purchase frozen organic corn at Superstore.

This afternoon I made another of Noel's favourites, Shelley's Energy Bites.  These are not strictly raw but are full of goodness and a nice treat when you want something sweet.

Shelley's Energy Bites

These are great healthy snacks for growing kids of any age.

1 cup Oatmeal
1/2 cup Peanut Butter or other nut butter
1/3 cup Honey
1/2 cup ground Flax Seed
1 cup Coconut Flakes
1/2 cup Carob or mini chocolate Chips
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Mix all together and form into balls.  Keep in fridge so they will remain firm.

We have just shy of 3 weeks left in our 40 day raw - it will actually be about 47 days by Easter Saturday.  I've still got lots of recipes in the file to try, so stay tuned.

Until tomorrow...to your health!
