Silvie+Maryl – Holistic Living, Plant-Based Diet, Recipes, Love & Relationship, Healthy LifestyleTips

Starting to prep for recipe testing and food-shoot phase of our upcoming book: Silvie+Maryl’s ___________ . Can’t reveal the name yet, but it’s a book on how to transition into a plant-based diet in a super practical, conscious, knowledgeable, and NOURISHING way. We are soooooooo excited to share this with all the wonderful beings out there who are ready to make the jump into a sexy, holistic, thriving, delicious, nourishing, regenerating, and healing diet that puts you in an empowered state of mind…and of course making you look A-MA-ZING too! That’s a given. For us, it’s really beyond mind and body. You’ll see.

I will be art directing, food styling, and shooting most of the food photo shoot, so it’s a bit overwhelming but also SUPER FUN because food photography is one of my favorites EVER! (Second to interior design/decoration, of course).  I’ve been wanting to do a food photo shoot for a while now, so I’m super stoked.  I’m also looking forward to recipe testing (measuring? who dat?) with Maryl because we are such intuitive nutri-chefs. We create meals on the spot without measurements or recipes. It’s creative, in-tuning, as well as meditative. I don’t like to follow recipes because I’m so into molecular composition and quality ingredients (quality to us means: easy to digest, absorb, excrete) that if they are not up to my nourishing standards…forget it.

The next few days for me: food shopping, shopping for food shoot…shopping, shopping and the occasional “let’s make this ourselves.” Any chance I get to make it myself, I’m in. I have to stay focused because when I’m out shopping, my family calls me “caperucita roja”, which means Little Red Riding Hood in Spanish…Yes, it’s true, I usually sidetrack to home decor. But I need new drapes for my bedroom! (Which I’m making myself, thank-you-very-much). Maryl is gonna have to be my First A.D. to keep me on track.

In case you are wondering about the LOVELY artwork in this post, they are by the beautiful, empowered and very talented miss Enslee. I LOVE all her artwork!!! L-O-V-E IT. It’s definitely inspowering for me. The one at the top is obviously (in my eyes) Maryl and I. Wonder who is who? Totally reminds me of us! And the second one is me, tomorrow.  Obviously.

I’m super busy but keeping my blogging Monday through Friday 2000-and-now challenge before the end of each day in effect! Between writing upcoming books/guides with Maryl and getting our Shop ready to launch soon I have to literally set my alarm 8 times a day to make sure I keep drinking alkaline liquids throughout the day to keep hydrated. I was in design mode all day, but I wanted to share what sort of nourishing high frequencies foods were in my world today. This doesn’t include the GIAGANTOR (larger then giant…literally you should see my mixing bowl) dark green salad with a huge load of plant-based goodies in it that I’m going to go have in a little while. Know that I am currently extra OBSESSED with baked yams and Ceylon cinnamon. My FAVORITE snack…ever. I grew up eating yams all the time in Peru, so its always a staple in my alchemical kitchen but lately my body must be wanting loads of vitamin A and C for some reason cause I’m eating lots of red color items…. I like to cut them like the picture above and wrap them with strips of dulse (red algae)…YUM!

This is another red item that I have been having lately and it rocks my world and body. Don’t be deceived by appearances of red juices, it’s not just a beet juice, its actually a green mega nutrient dense smoothie, mix with other berrylicious antioxidant friends and plant-based goodness, but the red pigment takes over. The recipe of this ultra awesome drink (which is a super-mega detoxifying smoothie) will be available in our (maryl’s and I) upcoming nutrition/cookbook. YAY!!!!!!! Til tomm Darlings.

By the way: In case you are wondering what probiotics read this. I’m determined to make my own this year.

Reminder: read this in case you are wondering about the longer then life+run on sentences you may encounter.
