Mmmmmmm, so it’s getting into that “Holiday Season” time for many of you reading this and this is the time of year we tend to get lots of emails asking how to cope socially with eating raw, what to eat at Holiday time events, what to eat in the cold and so on…well, as I mentioned recently, Heather Haxo Phillips just released her 2011 “Healthy Holidays” ebook with over 50 new raw yummmmmers Holiday-time recipes, which you might love to check out, HERE.

I also recently was inspired to make an amazing raw apple cobbler, as we have some reaaaaally good apples here right now – I poked around on the fabulous “GoneRaw.com” recipe site and found the delicious recipe below submitted by “wanna_B_raw” – apparently the recipe originally came from raw chef Chad Sarno – well, whoever it came from, it’s YUMMMMMMERS and we all loved it here, so I thought I’d share it here for y’all too - you can see the original post HERE– enjoy :)

Yummy Apple Cobbler

Servings: 
Serves 6 - 8
I found this recipe on the internet, but I don’t remember which site! It is BETTER then any cooked cobbler! You won’t miss the frozen Mrs. Smith pies after this!

Ingredients: 
5 medium apples
½ cup raisins, soaked in water 2-4 hours or overnight in fridge
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ lemon, juiced
2 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon sea salt

COBBLER TOPPING INGREDIENTS
1½ cup pecans, not soaked
¾ cup dates, pitted and not soaked
½ teaspoon sea salt
Preparation: 
Peel and chop ONE of the apples. Place it along with the drained raisins, cinnamon, lemon juice, honey, vanilla, nutmeg and salt in a food processor or high speed blender. Pure until completely smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Peel, core and slice thin remaining apples. Place slices in a large bowl and gently toss with pureed mix. Place in a medium sized glass or ceramic dish.
For the topping, in a food processor pulse the pecans until finely ground then add the dates and continue to grind until evenly mixed. Crumble an even layer of the pecan mixture over the apples.
Place your pan in the dehydrator at 115 degrees for about 4 hours. Enjoy! Tastes even better after the first day!

All love,

New "Raw Emotions" Course at The Academy for Optimal Living :)

I am *SUPER*-excited to announce that I have been invited to teach a course based on my book Raw Emotions this coming autumn for The Entheos Academy for Optimal Living :)  
This Academy is the brain-child of the delightful Brian Johnson of PhilosophersNotes.com and his radiant goddess Alexandra Jaye Johnson of MyGoddessLife.com. I think this Academy is SOOOOOOO COOL :))) ...and I am so thrilled to see how effortlessly this project seems to be unfolding for this dynamic duo - it feels like there is very strong energy from the Universe behind this one... The basic idea of "The Academy" is to serve as a place for people to learn about truly useful information for creating their Optimal Lives for themselves...forget a crusty old university schedule sagging under the weight of physics classes, history lectures and tedious maths tuition and other left-brain blah-blah...this Academy is all about useful, practical, insightful sharing of the yummiest kinds - think classes on nutrition, positive psychology, health and well-being, creativity, meditation, parenting, relationships, spirituality, money, conscious business, sustainability and much more - YEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAH :) ...and all under the loving guidance of various "experts" in each respective field...
The "Raw Emotions" course is set to start on September the 27th at 7pm Eastern and to run for 8 consecutive Tuesdays at the same time... If you can't make the sessions live, everything will be archived for later access. This course will dive into all of the key concepts of "Raw Emotions", including:

  • The Raw Lifestyle and Emotional Healing
  • Seven Ways of Eating - The Role of Consciousness in Food Choices
  •  Examining Physiological and Psychological Addiction
  • Tell-Tale Signs of An Overeater and Creating Our Optimal Vision
  • Three Steps to Restructure Emotional Connections to Food
  • Exploring the Emotional Detox Process
  • Top Tips for Healing
  • Maintaining Maintenance

You can check out aaaaaaaaaaaaall the juicy details and get signed up for this autumnal joy class HERE: http://www.entheosacademy.com/course/Raw-Emotions and you can see a short intro video from Brian on the Academy here: http://www.entheosacademy.com - see you "on campus" ;)

Raw Events, Ferments and Pregnancies... (don't get too excited ;)

Are you a luscious lady, ripe for a touch of juicy detox??? Hmmmmm…??? If so, I’d highly recommend you shimmy on over to Ronora Lodge in Michigan for their second Women’s Juice Feast Detox Retreat of the year, starting September the 12th. Unfortunately, due to visa blahblahs I will not be present to facilitate this retreat as originally planned…the first JF retreat we held there back in spring-time was AMAZING though and I would be back there in an instant if it was possible…the fantastic news is that the modern-day mumma of raw foods herself, Victoria Boutenko has agreed to step in and head up the juicy joy team…yum :) Visit www.rawnora.com for more info ;)

On August the 30th I had:

1.5 litres water
700ml warm water with lemon
700ml orange/melon juice
600ml green ‘garden’ juice with carrot
3 plums
bowl of chia soaked in blended apples/persimmons/water, with dried figs, mulberries and dates
500ml water
6 fresh figs and a little box of jack fruit pieces
1 litre water

One of you marvellous popsicles – Michelle – wrote in with a couple of questions:

If you have the time, could you share the sauerkraut recipe you enjoy so often? I've made some cultured veggies in the past but wouldn't be able to eat those daily on a bet. And when if/you become pregnant, how will you change your diet if at all? If that is not something you've considered, please forgive me asking. Thank you so much! Michelle

Mmmmmm…yes…sauerkraut…actually, the one we’ve been eating of late is an unpasteurised one we’re buying from Bionova here in the UK…here’s a quick run-down of how I WOULD make it if I were to do it myself though:

Cut up a head of cabbage, really finely. Put with enough water to cover the cabbage, in a glass vessel in a dark-ish, warm-ish place, for about 4 days (keep checking). Make sure it’s covered. Add a little probiotic powder if you want to speed the process up…

As for being raw pregnant…well…my intention is that as and when I get pregnant and have kids, I would remain completely raw - as I am now - and would also raise them completely raw. I know too though that this seems to shift for many raw women when they actually GET
pregnant, so, I'll see what unfolds - I cannot imagine being anything other than raw though...we'll see...and I would feel very unpleasant about giving any child of mine anything to eat other than raw foods...they will have their own journey to explore as they grow up - I'd love to give them what I would consider the healthiest start I can...

on August the 31st I had:

1.5 litres water
600ml warm water with lemon
700ml watermelon/orange juice
600ml celery/cucumber/carrot/radish/fennel
romaine wraps with avo, fermented sunflower seed cheese, sprouts, cilantro (coriander), red pepper, tomatoes and pumpkin seeds
1 litre water
5 fresh figs
big juicy-smoothie hybrid of carrot/apple/cucumber juice blended with spinach and ginger
bowl of chia soaked in apple juice with mulberries
1 litre water

SOOOOO…the spectacular Festival of Life kicks off tomorrow in London…yeeeeeee-HAH…I love it…I speak tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon at 5.30pm and Matt speaks earlier – at 3pm – hope to see you there if you’re around ;) More info on the site http://www.festivaloflife.net…

One love,
Angela. xxx
