Strawberry Ginger Lemonade
We ate at a Vegan restaurant called Lamb’s Bread the other day and my boys went crazy over their Pineapple Ginger Lemonade. “Can you make it at home?!? You don’t have to juice it, you can make a fresh raw smoothie instead, but make it taste just like this!” Well, I noticed that the restaurant [...]

Half Raw and Half Cooked: Avocado, Corn and Tomato Salad over Beans
We got to our local health food shop just in time the other day to buy the last 5 ears of local and organic sweet corn. We were excited because we love our Avocado, Corn and Tomato Salad! We enjoy the salad plain, or in lettuce as wraps… or even in a half-raw/half-cooked meal. Today, [...]

Time for Berries!
We love berries at our house. Most of the time, we love them plain, although my son really loves them with a little raw honey (kids and their sweet tooth!). Sometimes, we enjoy them on top of our fruit pudding* or raw oatmeal. Occasionally, I’ll serve them with some greens and a sweet balsamic vinaigrette. (*Note: we haven’t had dairy in our home for [...]

Raw Green Gazpacho

School Lunches versus Packing a Lunch: How to Keep Both Healthy
How do we keep our children’s lunches healthy? According to the World Health Organization, “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” So, we can rephrase our question as: how can we ensure our children’s lunches contribute to their physical, mental and social well-being and, by consuming them, they [...]

Review: Good Life Cafe
My first taste of Raw Vegan Cheesecake was during a private ‘un-cooking’ lesson with Sharon Wright. I was surprised at how the cashew, lemon and honey together tasted like pure cream and how it just melted in my mouth. It was her Cheesecake that got me HOOKED on RAW desserts! I would order meals and [...]

Review: Your Right To Be Beautiful
Well, I tried the Anti-Aging Cream a few years ago and didn’t like it. It just didn’t work for me then. But my friend Cayce recently reminded me of Raw Food Advocate, Tonya Zavasta’s, Beautiful on Raw Products after she tried the Multi-Herbal Green Clay Mask. Cayce said she absolutely loved it. So, I decided to [...]
