Raw Food, Play Time, and Love
I remember when I was little I loved to play around in the kitchen. Fortunately my parents were supportive in this area. My Mom never cared to cook and my Dad always thought my food was so tasty he encouraged my food preparation. Looking back I know it was my playful spirit that has kept me loving food preparation for over 30 years later.
Over the years I have met many a friends who do NOT like food preparing or cooking at all. I watch them in the kitchen and they are tight and stressed. No wonder why their kitchen time is so full of anxiety.
Meal Time+Play Time=LOVE
After 38 years in this time, space, reality I have come up with a few feel good ideas one being: Love what you do! If I do not want to do something I find a way NOT to do it. When preparing food Love is a key ingredient without it yourself and those around will taste the difference.
In order to find the love within you, to add to your taste sensations, start by examining why you don't like to play in the kitchen. Did your mother like to cook? What thoughts come up when you begin to think about food preparation time? After some deep examination you can either change the way you look at food preparation or out source it. What ever you choose love yourself enough to be truthful to yourself and do what you love.
Open to possibilities of fun food play? If your choice is to change your thoughts on the subject of food prep. Begin by opening up your thoughts and go shopping.
Choose the freshest grocery store you know. (Whole Foods, farmers market, etc)
Pick out only what you are attracted to.
Notice the colorful fruits and vegetables.
Smell them how to they appeal to you?
Think of different possibilities, food combination's. What have you made in the past that you would like to challenge of making now?
Purchase them and on to the next step WHY.
Raw Food preparation is the best way I have found to prepare foods. Raw Food Preparation is:
During my play time in the kitchen I have created many wonderful raw food recipes. I love to create tasty sweets treat then after I would eat too many of them I would start to feel heavy, full from all the nuts. No problem instead I started coming up with new low fat recipes using sprouted buckwheat. Enjoy these fun low fat raw cookies.
Playful Buckwheat Sweet Treat Cookies
2 cups of sprouted buckwheat (I like to dry them first but not necessary)
10 dates
1/4 cup raisins
1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
Agave to taste
2 tablespoons of cacao nibs
Mix in a food processor using date syrup (dates blended with water) or Agave Nectar. Eat right away or dehydrate at 105 degrees for 12 hours or until desired crunch. Alteration: you can also add cacao powder to the mix and turn them into chocolate cookies.
These cookies and other raw treats are perfect for holiday parties and to share with friends!
Fresh Thought:
The kitchen is great place to bring in your family and children for the holidays. Go back to your imagination and explore new ways to connect with food. Imagine: Maybe you are a world famous chef or the host of your own raw food preparing show.
The main idea is to incorporate play into your daily life and ENJOY every moment to the fullest! If for some reason you forgot how to let go spend a bit of time around small children or babies, they are the best examples of how to play, relax and be in NOW!
What we do and how we do it is what we share with ourselves and the world. If love is not in everything you do whats the point? Do what you love and feel the effects around you!
My life's purpose is to inspire others towards their personal health, joy and love! My gift is to present information in an nurturing fashion through my love, awareness and living foods. If there is ever a question or concern or rather you would like support on your path please feel free to email me.
I am only living my purpose when others are inspired and go on to live their purpose and inspire others. We are all connect and individuals all at the same time so live your passion, your purpose and share it with others we are waiting for what you have to offer!
In Appreciation and Inspiration,
