Return to Normalcy...

After a 2 year unplanned sabbatical from blogging, I'm back. However, there are going to be a few changes. First of all, I am still going to try and maintain a raw food diet. The only change to that is is that I'm going to be focused more towards incorporating raw food into a diet that is going to be primarily one that consists of clean eating along with some paleo /raw paleo. I will also have vegan and vegetarian foods as well.

Apologies...

 I apologize for the long wait in posts, it's been about a month and a half since I last posted. I've been busy with trying to transition myself into a raw diet, which is not an easy thing to do by any stretch of the imagination. Well, it's not easy for me anyhow. I've been busy trying to remain consistent about my soda intake, which is at least once a day if I choose to have one. In place of soda, I've been drinking filtered water or iced tea, brewed from organic tea. I have fallen off the wagon with my soda intake, I take full responsibility for that. However, I haven't given up yet and I continue to limit my intake with the hopes that I remain consistent. Chances are that I'm meant to be on this journey. I went up to Saratoga Springs, NY last month with my parents and aunt for my little sister's graduation from Skidmore College. I love Saratoga Springs! While I was in Saratoga Springs, I purchased some raw food cookbooks. The following books are the ones I purchased:


  
I still have some more raw food cookbooks to purchase, I might branch out to vegan ones as well.

I'd like to welcome you all to my food blog, Flexiraw. This blog will consist of posts highlighting the kinds of foods that I'll be preparing and sharing photographs of with you all. The foods will range from cooked to Raw foods, even Raw Vegan foods. As someone who's transitioning from an entirely cooked foods diet to a more flexible one, for me at least, to one that has raw/or raw vegan foods in my diet, I look forward to sharing some of my insights with you all as this is a journey for me in both body and soul as I work towards a healthier lifestyle.
