  It has been a rough spring all around. We have been having late season snows, cold, and sleet. Somehow the grass is starting to turn green and tiny little buds are appearing on the trees. I love this time of awakening. The ponds go from frozen circles of ice to open water, alive with [...]

  I often hear people talk about how difficult raw food is to make. Pish posh I say! One of my favorite lunches or dinners is quick and simple to put together, pretty easy on the wallet and also very tasty. All you need are some fresh veggies and in my case, a really good [...]

I always love experimenting with ingredients. Lately, I have been on a buckwheat binge. Buckwheat is gluten free and a great alternative to wheat. Did you know that buckwheat is not a grain?

The inspiration for many of my recipes is simple. What’s in the refrigerator? It’s lunchtime, I haven’t planned and I am hungry. Not all raw food has to be planned in advance. A lot of raw food recipes can be made in minutes and provide us with a super nutritious, quick to make meal. When I opened [...]

This is actually one of my favorite raw food recipes. When I was in the middle of my Raw 21 challenge, I was craving spaghetti and set out to make a filling raw food recipe. The marinara sauce keeps for days in the refrigerator and the “sausage” keeps for months in the freezer. You can [...]
