Welcome to Holiscious.com! Isn’t holiscious the best word ever? My mom and I came up with the term when thinking of how to convey a holistic lifestyle being, well, delicious. It just makes sense. I’m not usually a blog writer, but I am a fan of reading other people’s (isn’t that always the case). I basically want to share my experience, knowledge, and life with you. Aren’t you lucky?! My mom will also be posting to this blog.
So yesterday was the 4th of July. Holidays used to be very stressful for me when I started transitioning to a healthier lifestyle. Hotdogs and hamburgers were no longer on the menu, and my family members took it personally that I was not being ‘patriotic’ anymore. I guess I was unaware that eating factory farm raised animals and a side of potatoes covered in artery-clogging lard was patriotic. Anyway, this year was a breeze. It has taken some time for my family to honor the fact that I choose to bring my own food. I used to get angry at the fact that they were eating so unhealthy. However, what interests me is that they seemed to be having all the fun eating their unhealthy food while I was huffing and puffing about the situation! That’s when I learned to let go and allow them to do their thing. If people are interested in adopting a healthier lifestyle, I have to be a positive role model and then they may or may not start asking questions. Not only did I steer clear of the grill this year, I chose to eat a raw dinner on the 4th. When the weather is hot, my body can’t even fathom food being cooked by flame. I ate some raw corn chips with homemade organic guacamole and a HUGE salad consisting of fresh organic greens, tomato, cucumber, hempseeds, and nori seaweed with some apple cider vinegar, flax oil, and cayenne pepper. Sound good yet? Holidays require dessert, so I continued on to the coconut crème pie with a nut crumble crust. By the way, every day is a holiday at Holiscious!
