Top Five Ways to EAT Green!

EAT Green! EAT Green!

How does one "EAT Green"? It's a popular topic, and everyone has an opinion.  Here is my answer: daily Eat something green every day. And I don't mean green and fuzzy with an odd smell to it.  "Greens", as defined by most people, refer to leafy vegetables - kale, chard, collards, spinach, mustard, lettuces and the like.  But don't forget ...

Baby Steps to Raw

I'm taking a hiatus from raw recipe searching.  Too many of them are too elaborate or they contain ingredients that are too expensive or too hard to find. So I'm making a list:  What do I not need to give up?  What am I doing right so far? Here is the answer: raw fruits of all kinds raw veggies of ...

Freshly Nutty

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 to ...

A Tickle Trunk for Everyone

Growing up, my family always had a Tickle Trunk. It was a big black old-fashioned thing with metal hinges and clasps - both my cousin and I could fit inside it. It had some really interesting costume pieces in it: old wedding veils, a couple of wigs, old shirts, ties, skirts, high heeled shoes, scarfs, ...

I borrowed a cookbook once that promised me quick and easy crockpot recipes using only "five ingredients that everyone has in their pantry." In one recipe, I needed a can of cream of chicken soup; in another, a jar of bbq sauce; in another, a half of a package of biscuit mix. Needless ...

Don’t Call Me Vegan

So, I'm sitting here eating my raw vanilla ice cream, and I've finally got my raw crackers in the dehydrator, after waiting a day and a half for my raw macaroons to reach the perfect crispness, and I'm thinking It's time to come out of the closet. It's been over a year since I ...

It’s All Rawng

Raw Vegan Crackers Moist

Leave it to the raw foodies to solve my problem. I've finally found a recipe for Walnut Hemp Crackers that requires 5 cups of grated zucchini. Now THAT is what I call a dent. It's on the agenda for tomorrow. Unfortunately, these crackers have to be dried in the dehydrator, which ...

I Like My Beets Bloody

The dehydrator was going all day today. More zucchini and tomatoes. I also decided to try beets this time. They didn't really sweeten up the same way other fruits and veggies do when the moisture content is reduced. I had simply sliced them and spread them out on the dehydrator trays. ...
