Happy Birthday Dear Blog!

     Today, my good people, is the very first birthday of my Raw Plant Based Living blog. On this same day exactly one year ago I created this blog and made my first post. I have to say, since that day my life, my world view, and my diet have changed more than I imagined it would. 


     This year has been such an amazing journey for me. Since I began this blog I have lived in Oxford, England for a month, discovered the 80/10/10 diet, run a half marathon, gotten back into martial arts, hosted a raw Thanksgiving, created numerous amounts of yummy raw recipes, and so much more! I can't wait to find out what will happen to me after another year of blogging.


     I want to thatnk all of you out there who have read, followed, and commented on my blog. Your support means the world to me and I hope that sharing certain aspects of my life has given you inspiration, things to think about, laugh about, and anything else in between that I can't think of at the moment.


     In celebration of Raw Plant Based Living's 1st birthday I prepared this lovely dish for lunch. . .



A parfait dish layered with sliced banana and Figgy Carob Pudding.





     In conclusion, in honor of this brilliant day I am giving you the recipe for the Figgy Carob Pudding. I hope you all have a wonderful evening and that you enjoy lot's of yummy pudding!  =D


Figgy Carob Pudding

- A rounded 1/2 Tbs. of Raw Carob Powder (feel free to add more or less according to taste)

  4. Great Post! Congrats, absolutely outstanding! I'm so glad I came across your blog. I will definitely be coming back. :) I'm a physician in California who advocates a plant-based diet. I have a plant-based resource blog (actually my partner and I started it not too long ago) as a hobby for those people considering transitioning to plant-based diet. Stop by if you like. Thanks again. Kindest Regards, Jenna
