Adventures in Protein

What an amazing class!  We had such a great time last week talking about the many protein myths out there.  You certainly don't have to be vegetarian or a raw foodist to get the benefits of whole foods like fresh veggies, fruits, nuts seeds and grains...and if you DO decide not to eat animal products for a day, a week or longer, there are plenty of protein choices for you!

For example, our menu last week took us through some of what we feel are the best plant based protein sources out there:

Kale Salad - full of calcium, protein, vitamins and minerals - and because our salad is totally raw, all the living enzymes are available too!

Mediterranean Kale Salad on it's way to be enjoyed

Then there's Audrey's Sunflower Apple Almond Bread - full of protein and totally gluten-free!

Fresh Sunflower Apple Almond Bread

Chef Wendell wowed the class with his Borracho Beans and Tempeh Sloppy Joes - delicious twists on the original versions that are usually full of animal fat, refined sugars and cooked until all the life is totally gone.  These recipes are so simple and so tasty, our lovely kitchen helpers were nibbling on the left overs at the end of the night!

Borracho Beans and fresh raw bread...mmmmmm

Our lovely assistant, Amanda - she eventually came out of her sloppy joe trance...

If you're just getting started on your journey of eating foods that provide health instead of deplete it, we suggest taking a field trip to your nearest health food store and take at the plethora of health items and information just waiting to be discovered.  If you live in Indiana, check out Good Earth in Broad Ripple - one of our favorites!

Next up - Heavenly Desserts this Wednesday!  We're very excited about this SWEET class.  Join us to learn the basics of making delectable desserts that are free of animal products, refined sugars and gluten.  If you have a sweet tooth, you won't want to miss this class!  Call 317-501-7606 to sign up!

Peace, love and raw chocolate,

Chef Audrey & Chef Wendell

Feeling the Bliss

We are feeling the bliss, my friends.  Our first three classes have been a blast.  We have made new friends each night and have created a little "kitchen family" that works behind the scenes to make sure our classes go a smooth as coconut butter.  We couldn't provide the high quality Food Bliss Workshops without the help of our amazingly talented assistants.  We are so blessed.

Check out our lovely assistants in action last Wednesday:

Karen's sushi rolling skills up close

Karen, Amanda and Rebecca making Rawlicious Nori Rolls

And we were so flattered and grateful for this special gift from Cindy, one of our class attendees.  She made a scrap book page of her food creations from the recipes we've done in class so far.  What a wonderful gift - thank you so much Cindy!

We're moving right along and very excited for our upcoming class, Adventures in Protein this Wednesday.  We'll be shattering protein myths, awakening taste buds and nourishing souls.  Join us!

Bliss Blessings,

Audrey & Wendell

New Date for Great Digestions Class

The sun is shining and the skating rink that has been our roads, parking lots and driveways is finally melting back into the earth.  Yay!

Our Great Digestions class, originally scheduled for February 2 now has a new date - Thursday March 3rd from 6-8 pm

If you missed out on signing up for this amazing class, you have been granted a second chance!  We will be talking about the benefits of fermented foods, proper food combining, food preparations and combinations that keep the body's digestive system moving and regular and why a healthy functioning digestive system is so very important to our well being.

Not to mention, you will be tasting delicious recipes while you learn!  It's kind of a no brainer.

Have a great week and we hope to see you at our other two classes coming up, Adventures in Protein and Heavenly Desserts.

xoxo

Your Health Motivators, Audrey & Wendell
