Raw Vegan Crumb Donut - Tastes like your cheating!

Today, I made raw vegan crumb donuts. Yummm!!! Yummm!!! I can't remember where I got the recipe, but it's been my favorite raw vegan dessert for years. It's sweetened with dates and it has raw butternut squash in it, but you don't even taste it. All you taste is the sweet almond, coconut, nutmeg taste, just like a crumb donut, but moist inside instead of bread like. Check it out in the recipe section for the full recipe and photo.
I got really busy this week and forgot to take my thyroid activator. Boy, does my body know how to get my attention! 9 lbs of weight gain in 3 days! Took the activator and in 2 days lost the 9 lbs! Ok, I get it! For me, I need it to lose the weight. I'm real happy that my blood pressure is in the normal range again. And my blood sugar has dropped 200 points! Still not in the normal range, but at least I'm out of the stroke range!

Back on Track!!!

I haven't posted in a long time. Well, I've been struggling for a while. But, recently I had a major breakthrough. Even though my tests have always come back normal for my thyroid. I have felt there was a problem there. So, I recently started using thyroid activator by Nature's Sunshine. My weight started coming down again and I had a lot more energy. Then I ran out of it for several weeks and sure enough I started gaining weight again. I've been so tired and started getting headaches every morning.
Well, I got some more and my weight has started going down again. And I started eating raw vegan recently and now my headaches are gone. I tried eating "normal" again and my headaches came back. So, I am back to eating raw vegan again and I'll be posting more recipes with pictures. So look in the recipe section.
Today, I posted a yummy Pumpkin Seed Pesto Veggie Fettucini. It has dehydrated mushrooms and tomatoes that taste like sauted sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms. Yum, Yum!!!
