Half Way Through!

So, now we are a little better than half way through our raw food month and we are still going strong. Pam was even able to resist Lasagna made with homemade pasta at her wine club gathering last night - opting instead for an extra juice for dinner. At this halfway point we miss our red wine, chocolate, coffee, and popcorn, but strangely we aren't ready to kill for some chicken. I would like some of the recipes better cooked, and after the first marinara from the blender I turned to science where you will find that tomatoes are better for you cooked, and cooked and then cooled the sauce prior to building our lasagna.
Learning how to make "meat" out of soaked nuts is not a skill I would have thought I'd need, but it turns out it's mostly like making chicken and turkey taste like meatballs, etc anyway. The "chorizo" from the other day was really good sprinkled on a salad like taco salad.
A regular day I eat granola for breakfast with some blueberries and almond milk. I have a juice for a snack mid-morning, a big salad for lunch, some fruit for mid-afternoon , and either a big salad or what we report on the blog for dinner. Tonight we had a corn chowder with avocado made with almond milk. Pam's day is a little granola with almond milk prior to heading out the door then at work she has a small bowl of quinoa and oatmeal with dried fruit, half of her juice mid-morning and the rest mid-afternoon, and for lunch a salad of spinach and mixed greens along with an apple or orange.
We are still stuck on 7 lbs lost for Pam and 8 for me, and while that is great and everything we are going to juice fast tomorrow for a little kick start off of the plateau. BP's and heart rates remain the same.
