Lunch yum yum

After yoga (which was amazing) Char and I went to Whole Foods where we wandered around for over and hour, reading labels and asking each other various healthy raw questions. We decided that guacamole is in, and wine is out. We also decided that avocado oil is out, but coconut oil is in. Then we realized we couldn't use the oil to cook anything, so we didn't get it.

We hauled everything home, up three flights, and then enjoyed our salads from the salad bar:

- Spinach, arugula, radish, celery, cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, sun flower seeds, guacamole & lemon juice.

Raw Food Reset

Hi guys!
Because it's the middle of the year, the new moon is in Capricorn, and we've been partying like maniacs at weddings all month, Char and I have decided to do a 5-day raw reset. We'd like to call it a "cleanse" or "diet" so that you can all understand what we're going through, but those words terrify us. So RESET it is.

Over the weekend on our drive up to Tahoe for the Fourth of July, I got a little crazy and actually told Michael that I was considering using our joint credit card to purchase a vitamix blender so that I could be a rock star on my raw reset... I hadn't told him about the plan, so as long as he wasn't going to have to eat rabbit food for a week he told me to go ahead. I was thrilled. A few minutes later he asked how much it would cost and I mumbled $600, whereupon he pulled over and said that if a vitamix is "really important to me" and it's truly what my "heart desires" than we'll have to turn around because that's the cost of our cabin for the weekend and I can't have both.

So we went to Tahoe and I'll have to blend things by hand or with the cheap magic bullet that one of his darling sweet old roommates got after a late night of infomercials.

So, day one, July 7th. Here's breakfast at 8am, after 4 8-oz glasses of plain water for 2 hours.

- half a pinapple, one apple, half a pint of blueberries, half a squeezed lemon and 1 oz chopped raw almonds. Yummy and sweet.

For second breakfast, around 11am, I made:

- one carrot, half an avocado, one tomato, 2 stalks of celery, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt & pepper.

Now off to the yoga and then whole foods to stock up! Shout out to Healthy Holistic Krista for being our guide through this.

Black cod with red potatoes & roasted vegetables

Salad: all day, every day

Thinly sliced carrots, cucumber, celery, kumato tomatoes, with arugula, spinach and Italian Tuna belly in simple Dijon dressing (evoo, champagne vinegar & dijon)

Baked wild salmon with pesto & roasted veggies

This is so so simple, so you have no excuse.

1 tablespoon of pesto on a beautiful piece of salmon (about 6 oz),
Sliced mushrooms, zucchini, onions, carrots and any other veggies you have or love, sprinkled with evoo s&p.
Bake the veggies for about 20 minutes, checking and tossing a few times, and then put the salmon in the oven for the last 8 minutes. Don't worry too much about time -- just check the salmon after 6 or 7 minutes and pull it out when the inside is still a little pink.

Enjoy! Happy weekend y'all!

Perfect breakfast
