What exactly is a “natural diet”? For me, a natural diet is instinctive, sensual, and uniquely human. Most importantly, it is free of nutritional supplements. The desire to avoid nutritional supplements is, in fact, my main motivation for exploring this topic. I do not want to have to open a jar and pop a capsule [...]
I had been experimenting with raw bread recipes for a while, and wasn’t happy with the texture or flavour of ANY of them, when I finally stumbled upon a recipe for raw crepes. . . The crepes themselves were great, but the filling, while delicious, was too complicated, so I simply rolled the crepe into [...]
I like my kids the way I like my food: raw and untainted. It’s fine for any adult to be motivated to make healthy lifestyle choices, but if you’re a parent – and a parent of three – you’re making these choices for other people too. . .and you have to be prepared for resistance [...]
There are certain tools that will make the transition to raw foods easier. You may not want to drop a wad right off the top, but if you are at all serious about eating well/better, don’t “cheap out” on the essentials – it will only cost you time, money and sanity. It can be tough [...]
I did my first fast when I decided to have my first baby. DaddyH and I had been slowly making the shift to healthier, holistic (do people still use that word?) living. We stopped eating sugar and wheat, started filtering all of our water – not just drinking – and tossed every chemical we had [...]

The fresh nut campaign continues: In addition to fresh nuts, nut butters and other nut products need to be stored in the fridge. It’s still a foreign concept to many, but it’s better for the butter and it’s better for you. I grew up eating the classic brands of peanut butter, like everybody else, and [...]
The first time I made almond milk was eight years ago. It was relatively easy, and satisfying to make, but it tasted like chalk. It hadn’t occurred to me that my almonds were stale. The maddening thing was, they had been organic almonds purchased, in bulk, at my local health food store. From then on, I decided [...]
I’ve always made my own burgers from scratch. I’ve been using the same recipe for close to ten years now, and they really are amazing. But, in order to achieve my meat-reduction goal, I’ve been trying out vegetarian alternatives made with nuts, beans, lentils or kasha. The kasha burgers I made several weeks ago, weren’t bad; [...]
