I often get asked how I got started with raw foods. It all involves a TV show, my trying to make the food because it sounded so interesting, and my daughters vowing to never eat raw food again after they tasted what I made. That was a long time ago. My daughters now love the [...]

How wonderful it is when life throws something completely unexpected your way. Recently, I was shopping at a local cooking store.
