The oven works! However, we only lasted week before I started shopping for a portable electric burner. The first one I bought turned out to be a dud; I returned it to the store the following day. It was another week or so before I found a very funky, but sturdy, double burner, and I snatched it up for [...]
All tomatoes are planted – only 18 plants this year, less than half of the previous year – but with a little extra care and diligence I could end up reaping the same harvest. We shall see. I lost one tomato to a cutworm, another to a raccoon. To fend off more cutworms, I decided [...]
My range blew up today. It could be a sign that we’re ready to make the leap to raw; more likely, the appliance heard us talking about the new V*****x I’m getting as a late Mum’s Day gift, and it was literally ‘shattered’. How long can we go without replacing it? I’m eager to find out. [...]
I don’t want to be a “raw foodie”. I want to eat raw food. Why? I want to save time. I want to save energy. I want to gain energy. I want my meals to take longer to eat than to prepare. I want my meals to take longer to eat than to clean up. I want to [...]
How does one ”EAT Green”? It’s a popular topic, and everyone has an opinion. Here is my answer: 1. 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. [...]

Tonight for supper, we had a raw taco salad and a green juice. The juice was one of the best yet – a variation on Juice Me Green Baby! but somehow a notch above. Try this: Juice Me Green Too! 1 large bunch green kale 1 medium field cucumber 1/2 large bunch parsley 1/2 lemon, [...]
Herb gardens, salad gardens, cutting gardens, butterfly gardens, knot gardens, rock gardens, water gardens, rose gardens, wildlife gardens, potagers. What about a juicing garden? I’ve reorganized and replotted my garden four times already. The latest version includes a juicing garden, designed to ease my transition to an 80% raw foods diet. Some of the best juicing [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
Babies are usually ready to start solid foods by the time they are six months old. A few babies will thrive on just breastmilk until their ninth month, and others will be eager for new tastes and sensations at five months. Try to wait as long as possible. There is no danger in delaying the introduction of [...]
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 …
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 …
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 …
