Hello everyone

I got up early for a morning run with Gina. It was a hard one today for some reason, but I did manage to get a good 4 mile run in : ) I will take that!! It is nice to have a running buddy especially on those hard run days.

Then it was off to class for my second day at 105 degrees academy. I was not as nervous as the first day, actually more excited today because this was my breakfast:

Raw Granola with almond milk

More please!

This was a different way than I make my raw granola, so excited to show the sis this recipe! I shared my method with Ladan who thought it was a great alternative to making it. That is the beauty of raw “uncooking” there are many ways to do a recipe…it is all about fun which it sure has been so far! Everyone at the academy and restaurant have been amazing. Very welcoming and helpful, which is such a relief because most people have an image of culinary school and it is so not like that here. YAY! The environment is very open so it is great for anyone who would like to learn more about raw “uncooking”. Plus it is only for a month so perfect to fit into your schedule!

Next we made more nut/seed milks. I decided to make pumpkin seed milk, which is new to me : )

I love the color green...which is my favorite color!

Then we practiced our knife skills

Next was another first for me was raw lasagna

Time to build raw lasagna

Finished product

I made my a bit smaller thinking it would fill me up…haha…I ended up making another one : )

This is a pic of my 1st one...2nd way did not look as pretty I was too hungry and it was so good!

Then we ended class with making tarts, I made mine all coconut flake based : )

Making raw tarts are soooooo much easier than “real” ones full of fat, white flour, and sugar…no thank you!

Check in tomorrow to see what we fill these with! : )

A few of us stayed a bit after class to have a wheatgrass shot to give us a boost because tonight is a big social media event, which I am so excited about.
