Good eats in Bolovia and Peru

I haven't updated this blog for a while so I have a long post today of some of the dishes I photographed while in Bolivia and Peru

No I didn't eat this vicuna, just thought it was cute.

I stopped here a few times while walking through the mercado in la paz, I would just have her blend up the fruit and put it in a cup like that. I asked for no sugar. Tasting the variety of fruits in different countries is so much fun.

Bread stop.

Cereals

Seriously the best pineapple I have ever tasted. It was soooo sweet, so juicy and I licked my fingers after eating it

lake titicaca

Caldo the pollo (chicken soup) this is what I ate for 3 days in a row after getting food poisoning

This plentiful breakfast provided me with my first wake up call upon arriving to Peru. Que Viva!!!
I was so happy here


I forget what this were called now...but they were d'lish. I believe its shortbread and carmel with drizzled coconut
Rainbow trout on lake titicaca
Chicken Salad in La Paz
Ceviche...my favorite

ADDICTED

I consider myself a foodie. Eating is most definitely a hobby of mine. Yet my experience has been that the more food I eat the more I want. Just like with any other addiction I suppose. One of the things I have started doing the past 3 years is to go on a raw food detox. When I first did this 3 years ago, I had been suffering from migraines for quite some time. The migraines however were getting increasingly worse. It got to the point where I was going to the doctor to get a shot to be able to function. I heard about this place in San Diego called Optimum Health Institute. I was desperate so I decided to give it a try. I definitely learned a lot about healing my body with organic raw foods. I felt like a new person after one week of staying there. I still however have not given up the foodie side of who I am. I do find though that every time I go, I pick up a new healthy habit. This time I continued the detox for almost a whole week after leaving. I also plan to incorporate more raw foods into my diet & continue to juice veggies and wheatgrass.

At OHI this is what a typical breakfast consists of.. usually some sort of organic fruit. like watermelon, oranges or cantalope

this is a typical raw lunch. salad greens, sprouts, seed cheese

a raw dinner, cold organic tomato soup, raw crackers, salad greens and sprouts

for 2 1/2 days you do only juice
