Papaya, Scones and more...

The large stainless steel food storage container is perfect for toting along your favorite cut-up fruit...we had some juicy papaya for breakfast at the coffee shop...Of course our breakfast wouldn't be complete w/ a scone and some yogurt!

Shredded Carrot Salad

My carrot salad is all the rage with my friends lately, I can't stop making it since I bought my new Cuisinart Food Processor. Takes salad making to a whole new level for me! It also make incorporating raw food into my diet much easier!

Here are the ingredients:

- shredded carrots
- frozen peas
- rice vinegar
- agave nectar
- grapeseed oil
- sea salt/pepper

Toss it all together and voila! Shredded Carrot Salad! I usually don't measure when I make this, I just add to taste. I've made variations of this salad with carrots/daikon, carrots/zucchini and carrots/beets...all of them pretty tasty.

Here is the 3 tier tiffin with organic berries, spinach and lentil daal and my famous carrot salad.

Mission Trails


I took the girls to Mission Trails park for class on opossums. We had made homemade pinto beans with a pressure cooker for dinner the night before, for the first time. I decided to pack everything to make-your-own burrito for our lunch. We used corn tortillas instead of flour. I made Spanish rice using a Trader Joe's rice box with seasoning included. Everyone including our friends ate it all up!


I used the 4 tier tiffin, one tier had beans, one tier had torillas, one tier had rice, and one tier had tomatos and lettuce.
