I made this salad up tonight, just had a craving for peas! It's very easy and raw except for the Nayonaise. I'm sure there's a raw recipe for vegan mayonaisse out there somewhere but I was hungry and didn't look. :)
One package organic frozen peas
One onion (Walla Walla sweets are best but only in season once a year)
4 ribs of celery
Nayonaise - enough to moisten the mixture
Pinch of salt
Pepper (optional)
Lemon juice (optional)
Fresh peas are wonderful but it was 8:30 at night when I got this craving so I got frozen peas. Put the peas in a bowl. Add finely chopped onion and celery. Add Nayonaise to taste. Add lemon juice if desired.

I owned a State Approved K-6 for over 20 years and when it closed, I was devastated. However, I decided to make lemonade out of lemons and so I thought: I went to school for 40 years (one class at a time) and I have a PhD, I'll just look for a better job.
And, I did.....look that is, the "finding" part eluded me. I was 60 years old, never got sick and could outwork almost anyone half my age but, as I was looking for a job, it was NOT looking for me!
In the first two years after my school's closure, I applied for over 450 jobs (everything from Starbucks, to Admin Assistant to jewelry sales) and had no luck.
Finally a friend asked why I was counting the jobs and I realized I was focusing on what was NOT happening instead of what might happen so I quit counting, but not applying.
In order to survive, I sold my house and lived off the proceeds while I continued applying. I lived extremely frugally because I knew that the money would not last forever.
Over the years, I have continued to live frugally and apply for jobs. However, there truly is ageism in America today and I have been unsuccessful in getting a "real" job.
What I have been successful at is cobbling together a life by working at my many part time jobs! Currently, I have 2 jobs each day (subbing in the Auburn School District and tutoring at Sylvan Learning Centers). And I do other jobs occasionally such as Real Estate Broker, Author, and Editor.
Because I am a Health Coach, my passion is helping people be healthier.
Over the years, I've learned much about how to be healthy even if I wasn't wealthy so I decided to share my expertise with you! I will bring you tips, recipes, and many ideas on how to choose a healthy lifestyle, even if you are eating out of the local Food Bank and/or don't have much money to pay for gym memberships!
