So it has already been five full days of eating 100 percent raw food. I really thought I would crave something cooked, but I am just loving this! Tonight we were invited by a good friend of mine to a raw food party! That was super exciting to me for a few reasons. First, it’s […]
Raw Food Challenge: Day 4
At my job they are used to seeing me walk in with my morning green smoothie. When they ask me (with coffee cup in hand) about it, I say with a smile “this is my version of coffee, it gives me all the energy I need!” They have been getting increasingly interested in my smoothies. […]
Kale Stuffed Avocados
I don’t know about you but for me it is like pulling teeth getting my husband to eat healthier, especially when it comes to eating kale. So, I am always looking for creative ways to prepare it in a way that he will like. I add it to fruit smoothies and make kale salad with […]
Zesty Tropical Mango Lettuce Wraps
Recently I went to a large dinner party, where I knew there would be little if any raw foods for me to eat. I brought these lettuce wraps and they were a big hit! When I am invited over for dinner, I always in a very gentle manner explain that I am very happy to […]
Coconut Berry Parfait Dessert
I am really excited to share another dessert with you that is quick, easy, delish and healthy. It is absolutely scrumptuous! With a mixture of berries, coconuts and dates how could you go wrong? 🙂 It takes less than ten minutes to make, a handful of ingredients and just three easy steps and voila’! I always […]
Raw Peach Crisp with Berry Syrup
One of the many things I love about the raw food diet is that with just a few steps, a few ingredients and literally a few minutes you can create heaven on a plate. Sometimes just a fresh, ripe, organic, local peach can be like drops of honey in your mouth. It really is about […]
Raw Vegan Raspberry Sorbet
Yesterday here in Los Angeles we hit a whopping 100 degrees! I am more than ready for summer so I was not complaining. But, I found myself wanting something cold like ice cream or ice water constantly. So I made a big batch of raspberry sorbet in the blender and just kept it frozen in […]
Stuffed Raw Bell Peppers
The other night I was with my friend Heather and her family and she threw a vegetarian dinner fest. It was such a great feeling not only eating such delicious, tasty, satisfying foods but afterwards none of that bloated, heavy, tired feeling to deal with. One of her recipes, based on Jamie Oliver’s recipe, was […]
How to Make Delicious Salt & Oil Free Salad Dressings
One of the beauties about eating raw is that you really learn to enjoy the pure, raw, natural taste of food. The taste buds are cleared of all the toxic taste stimulators in processed foods, such as salt, thus the natural flavors of whole foods intensify. So I really like to keep my meals simple […]
Raw Cauliflower Mediterranean Salad
Lately I’ve been dabbling around with different ideas for new recipes trying to be creative. Every time I go to the farmers’ market there are a wide variety of vegetables, some that I never use, so I have decided to try a different vegetable each time. This time was cauliflower’s turn. Cauliflower is an […]
