This is the first of what I hope to be many blogs to share with my friends recipes that are nutritarian. Back in October 2011, my husband and I watched a movie; "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". The movie chronicled this one man's journey of curing his illnesses by changing his eating habits. Although I was a skeptic, I did hear one ladies story about how she cured her migraines. That alone made me want to try juicing; so we gave it a shot. Never did I imagine we would change our way of eating.
Since that day, my husband, two girls (ages 4 & 5) and I have totally changed our outlook on food. We watched some other documentaries; probably the most important was "Forks over Knives" and then read a few books: Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman; Engine 2 Diet by Rip Esselstyn; Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Caldwell Esselstyn; and The China Study by T. Colin Campbell. Each of these books are a must have and some include some pretty good recipes.
What I have found in rearranging our way of eating, is everything I prepare for meals and my shopping has required me to find new recipes. As I've visited with friends about this, I also have learned that this is a struggle for many of us. I will tell you, I get tired of seeing salads all the time, but I completely understand the importance of them as your main meal...so what do you do.
My hope in this blog is that we can all share our struggles and even some really good recipes and some warnings of not so good recipes as we try them.
To avoid any copyright infringement, I will not post recipes that are from the books above; but I will let you know about them so you can also find them in the book if you choose to purchase them.
So here we go. Enjoy some of these recipes and please share as you make your own too.
