Wow I can’t believe how fast time flys. I haven’t posted in forever! Naughty me, I know. Not much new and exciting to share. But I do have pics!!! Lets start off with a picture of a papaya tree that is between me and my next door neighbors house. I love papaya. There are a few different types here, but my fave is one they call The Red Papaya. It’s so sweet and yummy. The weather has been super windy, gloomy and rainy, but this picture was taken when the Sun came out (briefly) to play.
..:: My Favorite Corn Salad::..
I changed it up a bit and sprinkled Sunflower Seeds and these super tasty Raw Sicilian Habanero Olives on top!
..:: Cauli-Mash, Fresh Corn, Pesto Stuffed Shrooms and a Cauli-Mash stuffed Bell Pepper. Sprinkled with Green Onions ::..
So my latest obsession is Cauliflower! I feel like I fall in love with a new vegetable every week. Oh god it’s so good. Just grab some cauliflower and throw it in the food processor, add a little extra virgin olive oil and sea salt. Process it well, and TADA!! Done. I’m really into, it’s so fresca and light.
..:: Passion Fruit::..
This next pic reminds me of Easter Eggs…. Pastel-ish colors
..:: Cauliflower Mash, Corn and Chopped Red Bell Pepers ::..
Are you bored of cauliflower and corn yet? hehe I’m not!
..:: Green Smoothie ::..
Papaya, Spinach, Frozen Bananas and a little Coconut Oil
This smoothie was soo good. It was sweet and filling. I had 2 of these glasses for dinner and was so satisfied. Perfect way to end the day.
..:: Coriander Plants ::..
A very kind lady gave me a few coriander plants. Coriander is the same thing as Cilantro, and I LOVE Cilantro.
The leaves don’t look like Cilantro… do they? Either way I am stoked because I just I love FRESH HERBS!
I have more pics but I am a little tired. Til next time my Lovelies!

It has been rainy and just all around gloomy here for the last few days. Such a bummer, I was really looking forward to my usual nude sunbathing this weekend, but unfortunately there was NONE of that. What’s funny is all week long it was gorgeous outside and I kept thinking “Girl you better get out there” but I figured I would just wait til the weekend and Sure enough… RAIN! Oh well.
So last week I told yall about my very exciting mango purchases at the market. Yesterday, three of them were calling my name as they were perfectly ripe. I just kept thinking, MANGO PUDDING! A couple clicks later and I found a recipe that sounded fab. OH MY GOSH! Seriously it was the BEST raw pudding I have ever had. NO joke, If you have access to mangoes, PLEASE make this. You can thank me later. Oh and we must thank The Daily Raw Cafe site, of course.
Recipe found at The Daily Raw Cafe website. (Thank you DRC, this was sooo freaking good)
MANGO PUDDING
1/2 c macadamia nuts, soaked for an hour
2 oz water
3 cups peeled, fresh mango
1/4 c agave nectar
1/4 t sea salt
Blend macadamia nuts and water until smooth. While blender is running, add mango, agave nectar and sea salt. Process until creamy. Refrigerate for an hour to set.
I found some locally grown celery! I usually buy celery at the grocery store and it’s usually not organic and shipped in from Australia or New Zealand. You know, the thick light green very juicy celery stalks. You know the kind you layer with almond butter and drizzle raw honey on top of. mmmmmmmmmm Anyway, so I was at the store the other day and I found this beautiful Green Local Organic Celery. It’s nothing like I have ever seen before. It’s not thick and juicy, but instead it has this beautiful green color, with thin stalks! Very fragrant. Check it out.
The color was so pretty and the smell was sooo good. I decided to make green juice with it.
Green Juice Ingredients:
1 head of Butter Leaf Lettuce
Gorgeous Green Celery
1 Cucumber
3 Apples
2 Lemons
1 big chunk of Ginger
Hope you all are doing fab!
Love and Besos, Ibis
