I am excited. If you have been hanging around here for a bit, you know I am not consistently a 100% raw foodist. During the summer? Yes. Because it is easy to be 100%. Local produce is plentiful, the weather is warm, we crave salads and fruit. But when the temps dip below zero in [...]

When creating raw food recipes, the young coconut is a healthy substitution for many of the dairy products that we have eliminated.  Raw food is traditionally vegan.  Coming up with recipes that remind us of  the traditional recipes that call for cream, butter and cheese requires creativity with the ingredients that we do use, such [...]

I am a big fan of bananas. They are loaded with potassium, B6 and fiber. They are also extremely portable, as they come with their own carrying case that is very easy to discard (yes, I am referring to the peel). I had a couple of ripe bananas sitting on the counter just begging to [...]

It’s Friday, and I am deeming it “Fan Friday”. I realize that doesn’t make a lot of sense, so I will explain. I needed a word that started with “F”, to go with Friday, and today, I am going to share some non-raw places that I am currently a fan of.  I hope you will [...]

What is the raw foodists answer to steak and potatoes? Marinated portobello mushrooms and rosemary cauliflower “mashed potatoes”. There are quite a few recipes out there but this one comes right from the Kitchen at Rawmazing with my special signature. A little time in the dehydrator deepens the flavor of the cauliflower. Combined with a [...]

Was cleaning up your diet one of them? Eating healthier, eating smarter, eating cleaner, those are all goals many of us have here. As time passes, life gears up and sometimes, the best of intentions get lost in day to day survival. But we [...]

I still have turmeric on the brain. All of the wonderful, healthy benefits that you get from eating this spice, let alone how tasty it is, inspires me. I have been craving easy, hearty raw food salads for lunch. Since I am up in the frozen tundra, I like to have a little more substance [...]

We recently discussed how a person on a raw food diet gets enough protein (here). Another question that comes up frequently is, what about calcium? How can you protect yourself from osteoporosis if you are not eating dairy products?  Especially since we have been taught for years that we need to be eating dairy products [...]

I was walking past store the other day and they had whoopie pies in their window. Of course the first thing I thought was, we need a raw food version of those! I got home and set to work, coming up with a cinnamon pecan filling instead of the traditional vanilla one. Full of nutritious [...]

I love when information about food, raw food and the relationship between food and health is highlighted in mainstream media. I was watching “Good Morning America” on Friday. Dr. David Servan-Schreiber was talking about his new book, “Anti Cancer, A New Way of Life”. One of the first things that he mentioned was how important [...]
