One of the comments that I hear most often is, “I could never do raw, it is too hard and complicated”. Let me tell you, once you get set up, it is much easier than traditional cooking, Breakfast this morning? My cacao smoothy. Prep time: 4 minutes. Clean up time: 30 seconds. Last night for dinner I made pumpkin seed, sun dried tomato pesto. This went on top of tomatoes, and zucchini, and was topped with some pine nut Parmesan and balsamic vinegar. Dinner was on the table in less than 10 minutes and clean up consisted of rinsing out the food processor. No dirty pots and pans to worry about, no cooking time to factor in. We had a beautiful, gourmet dinner that was fresh, tasted great, and was very satisfying.
There are a few things that I like to make sure that I always have on hand. It makes impromptu creating a snap and also insures that I will have ingredients on hand to throw together for breakfast, lunch or dinner at a moments notice. Staples for me include nuts and seeds, fruits, veggies, dried fruits, some grains, oils, and a few fun extras.

Love this photo and the post! So true…it is much easier than I would have thought to prepare and eat raw!
This is exactly what I have been looking for. I have tried a few times to go raw, but found the meal prep to be really tedious and time consuming. Do you have any tips to make the whole prep process go smoothly?
Thanks for offering the PDF! I have a decent stock of nut/grains/dried fruit in my pantry but I have no idea what to do with it!
I have ischemic colitis and seen a nutritionist who started me on raw foods that are steamed. I would love more recipes on foods I can eat.

Am currently a subscribed to your updates but I don’t remember getting your panty setup and don’t remember my password (if I have one). Help?
You need to sign up though aweber, not feedburner. Feedburner just updates you as to when there has been a post. Our new aweber will also send you our emails, etc. There might be multiple emails for a bit but soon that will be sorted out.
