I love salads and I plan to go raw with my nutrition moving forward---simply put---LIVING FOODS!!

Annette Larkins, a 71 Year Old I've followed online in Miami, FL is a black female who looks only 40...if that (YouTube her) motivated me to go raw today; and the God [within] me is up to the challenge!

After trying this firrrrrre salad recipe, you might be up to it as well---WooOoO!!

KL's GROUND BEEF-LESS BURGER ON TOASTED RYE

I made this delicious-tasting meat-less from ground Crimini Mushroom and slow cooked Chickpeas (Garbanzos) burger last night that was thee BOOOOOMB!!

The entire process takes a while because I make everything from scratch... but the actual burger-making process is just shy of the cooking time it takes to make a "hamburger."

Who says folks that don't eat meat can't eat GOOD FOOD..?! Point them out & watch me clown!!

Gotta get to work---STAY TUNED for the recipe---WoOoO!!

P.S.

I've made tacos using a similar technique too!

KL's BANANA HONEYDEW MELON SMOOTHIE

I made this smoothie so FAST that I'm sure that it'll take more time to write & publish this blog post than it did to make this smoothie!!

I made a quick list of the ingredients I chose as I prepared it then snapped a picture with the finished product... and the rest is history!

If you don't have a NINJA BLENDER feel free to use any blender and you will still be just as successful---and it'll still be just as delicious!!

***HINT: when you're done, you can freeze for an hour or so then blend again for a ice-creamier taste!!***

I didn't have time for that so----VROOOOM!!

I'm gone. Enjoy =D

KL's GARDEN-GROWN DEEP-FRIED OKRA

Shout out to my daddy for having roots in the south and my mama for having such a wonderful son like ME---WoOoO!!

So tonight I deep-fried a bunch of sliced garden-grown organic okra in 100% Grape Seed Oil... and it was delicious!!

The "batter" was simply Whole Spelt Flour and a few seasonings mix of Onion Powder, Cayenne Pepper, and Sea Salt.

PREP: 5 MIN
COOK: 3 MIN

SERVES: 2

INGREDIENTS:
Whole Okra, 10
Cayenne Pepper
Sea Salt
Whole Spelt Flour
Onion Powder
100% Grape Seed Oil

PREP:
Batter---Mix 1/2 cup Spelt Flour with 1 tablespoon Onion Powder, 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper, and 1 teaspoon Sea Salt.
Rinse okra well and slice into bite-size pieces.
Heat Grape Seed oil in fryer on medium-high heat.
Add batter to a re-sealable bag and add cut okra then close. Shake well until okra is well battered then remove and add to hot oil.

COOK:
Cook the okra 3 minutes or until all okra floats at the top of the cooking oil---since we're using Whole Spelt Flour in this recipe, the batter should be just slightly darker than golden brown when ready!

Remove from oil and place on a napkin to drain excess oil from cooked okra and dash with Sea Salt (optional).

ENJOY!!!
