Wrapping up the Raw

Ok, so we did strict raw for 10 days!!  I can honestly say I would have cheated at least once everyday without Jimmie.  He has a tough competitive spirit and can not quit anything he starts, which is good for me!!  Anyway, there were moments of hunger, boredom with our options, etc. but honestly we felt great and was worth the few pounds we lost and the new recipes and things I learned about sugar substitutes!  I have always loved baking and since I have been married have come to love cooking in general.  Of course it helps when your awesome husband will help and do the dishes.:)  I am lucky that way.  One magazine I found last year has really been a game changer* for me.  Of all the things I have made there are generally very few things I change and we have only put one thing on the "just ok" list.  All other things have been made more than once!  Check out Clean Eating if you are needing a new batch of recipes.  Here are the things I will be making in February:

Picadillo Chowder(made for my sweet friend Kayle&froze some for us!)
Quinoa Stuffed Peppers
Mini Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Mediterranean Vegetable, White Bean & Feta Penne
Country-Style Beef Soup & Green Pepper Soup
Chewy Mocha Dream(Gluten-free & only 56 calories!)

All from the February Edition!!  We will see what ends up as keepers.

This is out of an old issue, but when making a meal for Kayle that would be Gluten free I found a cookie that is awesome.  I don't usually go for the hot out of the oven cookies, but this one is best that way!

Almond Butter Cookies
