My first RAW meal

So this weekend was a "girls weekend" to Seattle and on our way, we stopped in Portland for lunch (this was Friday) The place was called "The blossoming lotus" and let me tell you what... when we walked in there.... it was awesome!! The menu was a vegan menu and even have "living raw" items!! I was stoked. So I figured, why not try a meal prepared by someone who knows wtf they are doing (unlike me, who has no clue LOL)
So I order "Spicy nachos" and a Tropical punch smoothie *yum*

The order comes... and it's flax seed/nuts/sesame seed crackers, cashew chipotle cheese, cashew sour cream, avacado, tomato, and green onion. Looked great.... taste..... not so great :( The cracker things.... I had to CHOKE down. I DISPISE the taste/feel/smell of sesame seeds and I think it got the best of me *gag* The last bite I took... I literally had to chew and FORCE myself to swallow.

So needless to say... I will start this thing on Monday niiiiiiiiiiice and NORMAL!! Fruit and veggie salads, smoothies (which was awesome) and simple meals with my raw foods. Baby steps Erin...baaaaaaaaaaby steps!!

So my friend Lyndsay took a picture of me with my first raw meal. Can you see the excitement on my face??? LOL Yeah... I was scared. But I'm still very anxious to start this journey on Monday.

Much love,
Erin
