Raw Philadelphia
I mentioned in my last post that I moved to a new city. I moved from New York City (the big apple), down to Philadelphia (the city of brotherly love).
But in my head, these citys have had two very different meanings. NYC (home to pure food and wine, and other great vegan and raw foods places) and Philly (home to lots of sports, and cheesesteaks)
I realized that I had moved from raw food mecca (so to speak) to a city where raw was pretty much non existant. And even vegan restaurants were few and far between.
So what’s a girl to do when she is trying to eat healthy?
I thought about it a lot and I came to the conclusion that now I am living like most of the rest of the country. With limited access to raw food communities, and health food stores.
This was the perfect time to start my journey again.
Since going off raw I have been a very bad vegetarian. Eating lots of starch and cheese. Not lots of fresh fruits and veggies.
I need to find a way to get myself back to a good place, but I am starting from scratch. I need to figure out how to eat this way, all while working in an office 9-5 with little access to a good blender or juicer.
This will no longer just be a place to hold recipies, but a journal where I can talk about new foods I tried, raw cookbooks, raw food delivery services, and everything else to help me make this transition back to a healther place.
