Day 45...

Hello all.

I am having a hard time again, its the evil potato thing. I have been craving potatoes so much lately. I asked Mike to go to the store and get me some potatoes. He said he would go in a while. Later he came into the room and said he felt that I was feeling weak at the moment, and he needed to be strong for me. "Lets go and make some raw food together" I jumped up with joy and said: " you want to make food with me?!?" We made a raw fennel and spinach soup, ( it was amazing soup! ). Later he juiced some green juice for me and the kids. When I am weak he is strong. The scriptures say the same thing about Jesus. When we are weak He is strong for us and gives us the strength! Almost everyday for the last 2 weeks Mike has gotten up early and made me enough green juice for the day and the kids also. He has been going to the store every time he is out to get us fresh vegetables and food. I don't know if I have ever been more inspired to take care of my health, than when mike began to walk through it with me! The best Christmas present is my husband!

My Fennel Soup

2 handful's Spinach
1 med fennel
1 garlic clove
1/2 avocado
1/2 red apple
2 celery stalks
1T. tamari or soy sauce or nama shoyu
1T. coconut oil
Agave to taste
Cumin to taste ( I like alot)
Gram Marsala
salt and pepper if needed

Blend all together and enjoy. If you like things hot but raw, put in a pan and heat on stove ( never in a microwave) until you can keep your finger in the soup for 4 seconds without being burned. This is a easy soup for me because I usually have most of the ingredient on hand except for the fennel. I hope you enjoy this it is one of my favorites!

May the Lord bless you, and keep you...
