Raw Food Tools

Cuisinart Food Processor

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’m on Perma-Cleanse!

Cleansing time!

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 [...]

Canning: A Matter of Life and Death
