5-Ingredient Raw Apple Pie. Day 21 of my 28-day detox. Still hanging in there. Thank you to so many of you who sent me tips and raw recipes to try in response to my last post (mid-detox meltdown). You guys rock! Tonight is our last detox class with instructor, Margaux Drake. After class, we’re having a “rawluck” (a potluck with all raw foods). I’m excited to see what everyone brings! Not only does this require just five simple ingredients, but it’s also quite easy and quick to prepare (especially if you have an apple peeler/corer/slicer thingy). 3 cups raw sunflower seeds1½ cups raisins, divided4 medium apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced1 Tbsp. cinnamon1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar OPTIONAL: 1 to 2 tsp. raw honey (or raw agave nectar if you want to keep it vegan) STEP 1: In a food processor, pulse the sunflower seeds and 1 cup of the raisins until finely ground.

Homemade raw, vegan chocolate in only 3 or 4 ingredients!the veggie nook | the veggie nook. Yes that's right, vegan, healthy, raw, antioxidant rich CHOCOLATE (that still tastes decadent). Is it normal (read: healthy) to be in love with a food so much? Let's not answer that ;) I seriously can't believe I haven't been making this forever!

No more will I forgo making a recipe because I am out of baking chocolate/chocolate chips. Or become moody because all I want is a piece of chocolate and there is none to be found. Because this is just so easy and healthful that as long as you have 3 basic pantry ingredients, you can make it!

I was recently asked to a teach class just to the women of my church about dating. Someone ratted me out as being a blogger who is all about dates. I felt a little shy about it at first, but then I realized this is my favorite topic and would be a lot of fun! I started a spreadsheet a couple months into dating Jacob with ideas of places to go and things to do. Whenever a heard of a great idea or creativity struck, I added it to the list. I tried really hard to make dates that we could easily do and weren't too cheesy. I started with this spreadsheet and then added some others we had already done or I had heard of others doing.

I felt selfish not sharing this on the blog, I mean after all I already typed this! Enough talk....here's the list of 101 Creative Date Ideas according to Camille...

Green Pedestrian Crossing in China Creates Leaves from Footprints. Jody Xiong of DDB China in conjunction with the China Environmental Protection Foundation created this wonderful outdoor campaign to create a subtle visual reminder of the environmental benefits of walking versus driving.

Enormous white canvases with a bare tree were placed across 132 crosswalks in 15 Chinese cities. As pedestrians crossed their shoe soles were imprinted with a small amount of green paint, leaving behind a trail of leaf-like footprints.

Nothing Is Impossible - What do you think of GM’s diet? How Do I Lose Weight? Photo 54. Losing weight boils down to simple math. To lose one pound weekly, burn or cut out 3,500 calories in the course of seven days. That breaks down to 500 calories per day.

It's difficult to cut out that many by dieting alone, especially for someone who loves to eat. The most effective approach is this combo: each day, cut out 250 calories from your diet and burn 250 through exercise. Choose to either cut out one 250-calorie item such as a serving of ice cream, or omit a few small things that add up to 250 calories a day. It's also important not to exceed your recommended daily calorie intake. Standing Abs | Tori Teaches Fitness. Effective Lower Abs Workout: How to Get a Sexy Six-Pack.

Supplies: - Shower curtain rings...quantity is up to you! 1) Cut the fabric into roughly half inch thick strips, as long as you can make them. 2) Tightly wrap strips of fabric around the curtain rings, applying hot glue every so often. 3) If a strip of fabric is too short, simply glue the end down and continue wrapping with another strip. 4) Keep going until you're all done!

5) After figuring out how you'd like to position your rings (I decided to do 4 rows, 6 columns, with the columns alternating denim and leather) tightly tie the rings together using the cord of your choice.
