    Meredith's Marinated Mushrooms

    Many people don't even realize how wonderful mushrooms can taste in their raw form after just being marinated for a short time. No cooking involved for these bad boys! Meredith shares her recipes with you and the idea behind her new book:

    My current, and one of the most major projects I am working on is our next book Design your Detox. This is the first book that I am doing that is 100% my vision. It is the way I eat, the way I live, and the way I believe others would benefit from eating. Because it is so close to home, this book  is particularly exciting and challenging. I feel like I have so many things to say it is hard to edit them down! 

    My philosophy is really K.I.S.S. Unfortunately, the raw food diet or any healthy diet for that matter, has gotten turned into this incredibly complicated and exclusive lifestyle. Don't get me wrong, gourmet health food is AMAZING and totally has a place; but just like other gourmet foods, it isn't always practical. I believe that you can easily incorporate super healthy raw food dishes into your diet on a daily basis. The principle of detoxing shouldn't feel like a crash diet. You starve for a week and then go back to your regular diet. Yes, when you start eating more vegetable centric meals, you will start to crave them, and a balanced meal won't feel balanced without them. The idea behind Design your Detox is to incorporate healthy meals into your diet as it suites. For some of us we try to eat healthy at every meal (optimal) , but depriving yourself of indulgences every now and then doesn't have to be permanently banned from your life. Eating more raw food shouldn't feel like an all or nothing diet . Most of us do eat some raw food- so what is the big deal? All I ask is ONE meal a day! It is SO worth it and so easy. I could go on, but since I am writing a book on the subject I will stay short. 

    The most fulfilling part of a book is getting to taste, and eat- crazy simple, crazy good meals! Here are two recipes that I worked on last week. One is 100% raw and the other incorporates some cooked quinoa. 100% raw is great if you live in a tropical environment, but Maine winters make the challenge feel a little absurd. High protein, gluten free grains like quinoa are warming, balancing and very nourishing- especially in the winter.

    Carrot Ribbons, Black Sesame, Shitake
    Serves 2-4 

    Carrot Ribbons

    4 Large Carrots, peeled and run through spiral slicer (Should yield about 8 cups)
    ½ Head of Small Red Cabbage, shredded or thinly sliced

    Black Sesame Seeds

    Carrot Ribbons- Toss carrots, cabbage, sesame seeds lemon and salt in a large bowl. Allow to marinate while making sauce.

    Cemini Mushrooms

    1 tablespoon Tamari
    ½ teaspoon Olive Oil

    Assembly-  While quinoa is still warm, toss all ingredients together. Allow to marinate for a t least 10 minutes before serving so that the flavors combine.

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
