Healthier Than Thou


I used to be so militant.. I would totally sabotage myself and my Raw Food endeavors by feeling I have to be 100% Raw.. or nothing.  For years I did this to myself.  I wanted in all honesty to define myself as a "Raw Foodist".  I no longer believe I have to be 100% ANYTHING.  I love juice fasts but I don't have to do 30 days to be "successful".  I love Raw but I don't have to be 100% to be successful.  I love yoga but I don't have to worry about my fat thighs and not "fitting in".  

Perfectionism truly is the enemy of all good.

1/2 t   Salt


Directions



  • 1. Clean all mushrooms with a dry tea towel or paper towel. Twist off stems. Separate stems from caps and if needed trim very end of stems off..

  • 2. Place caps aside and reserve for later.

  • 3. Throw clean mushroom stems into food processor. Add everything else to food processor EXCEPT RED PEPPER and EXCEPT MUSHROOM CAPS. Process until roughly chopped, resembling coarse pesto or a slightly chunky dip. Remove from food processor and set aside.
