I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.
At first I thought that this was going to be awful, not being able to eat the things I wanted to eat. Then I remembered Celeste tell us that our thoughts are one of the most toxic things we can input into our bodies. I also remembered how long ago, when I attended a Dale Carnegie course, that if I act enthusiastic I will be enthusiastic.
It was drummed into us… “Act enthusiastic and you’ll be enthusiastic.”
So the act began and the changing of the thoughts began and I started to read the book that Celeste had written – Wonderfully Well, plus the 3 Days of Raw and began to look and see what all this is that I have to eat. It certainly looked good in her pamphlet… key lime pie, golden dragon sauce, rice paper wraps…
There were a lot of things I was not even sure I would be able to get in Canada, so close and yet so far from the USA! But, I was surprised to find most of the things.
Simply become a reader of ingredients, not the label for the nutrition facts, the ingredients.

| Full cream Coconut milkBe careful to read ingredients as they all differ… | I forgot to put this on my list of cannot find, but I found some now. I have not tried to make Creme Frais with it for the Key lime pie, but wanted to share where I got this in case you want it… | The Bulk Barn. I found 2 things that could work… a can (for around $3.50) with full fat coconut milk (picture coming soon). This is the real deal. Then a box with Pure Creamed Coconut, you add some hot water and whisk it. Once refridgerated it thickens up. Both are delicious and would go well with the pie.The Water Bug Also stocks some of these things.Superstore also has some in the Asian foods section. |

This is a delicious flake that tastes cheesy! It is great to put into crackers and onto grilled veggies (mushrooms! With a little grape seed oil! Yum)
A hot sauce for all those who love to spice their food up a bit
