Day 1 of Eating Raw: Check



In my book, there are many things that deserve a big FAIL: mini back packs, Pepsi Clear, Garth Brooks' alter ego Chris Gaines. Today I'm adding a new one to that list: the raw version of "Chili Cheese Fries." Dear Lord, what a let down! What a weird and disappointing let down. The recipe called for jicama (semi-sweet root vegetable) to be cut up like french fries and then tossed with some olive oil, chili powder and "cheese tasting" nutritional yeast. Now...I knew they weren't going to taste like real fries. I knew that. But they sure left out the part about them tasting like salty, chili flavored, apples.

Bad job, raw recipe givers!

I did try the "Almost Tuna Salad" from Whole Foods today and a Raw Revolution Bar (Coconut Agave) and those both get a double thumbs up from me.

As for tomorrow: here's to finding better recipes and to never looking at that picture of Garth Brooks again.
