How the time flies! I have been so busy in the kitchen lately, that I haven’t had a chance to let you know what I have been up to. Well, finally I am here!

Yesterday I went to a worm composting class which was a lot of fun. I received a bin, 500 red wigglies, and some straw to get started. This is a very exciting adventure, and now I can utilize my raw food scraps instead of contributing to the garbage. I already fed my new wigglies their first weekly meal of banana peels, avocado skin, wilted spinach, apple core, lemon peel, and a few other things. In a few months, the food scraps will turn into compost that I can mix together with soil and make the best living environment for my container vegetable garden. I haven’t started the garden yet, because I am afraid I will kill the plants! For some reason, every house plant I bring into the apartment dies. :(  I am thinking of volunteering for the local community garden to learn more about growing healthy plants.

On another note, a few days ago The Raw Divas announced their 6-Week Deep Tissue Detox which I am very excited about. Lately, since I have been overeating on delicious gourmet raw food, bloating has become a major issue. As I gather the funds to sign up, I hope to learn a lot from Dr. Ritamarie as well as take control of my bloating issue. One of the best ways to cut the food cravings and start anew is to do a detox or cleanse, and I think this one is going to be fantastic. There are a few other programs out there that I was going to try, but there is no support system or connection with the program leaders to answer questions. That is why I love all of the programs that The Raw Divas do, as support is the #1 priority in their programs. Oh, and they are offering a free mini-course to introduce everyone to what the program will be like. It will be a chance for people who have questions about the program to get answers before signing up for the high-support detox. So, if you do anything, go here and sign up for the free, mini-course to just get a sneak peek of what the detox will be like. I hope to “see” you there!

There is so much more to tell you, but I must get back to my blender to make a chocolate pie for the potluck today! This pie is my proudest moment in the kitchen EVER and I can’t wait to share it with all of my raw food friends. Later this week, I have a cooked food dinner party and I will be making this pie for dessert. No one will know that it is not cooked, it’s that good. Do you want a bite? Well, if you sign up for the detox mini-course here, I will email you the recipe. Just let me know you signed up by commenting below! Hope to hear from you soon!
