Raising Raw Kids

Kids Jumping On The Bed

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 [...]

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 [...]

Vegan Baked Beans

This recipe is an amalgam of three other baked bean recipes I’ve tried.  It’s different every time, but it’s always very good.  I always use a mix of beans - navy, kidney, black-eyed peas, or anything else that will bring a variety of shape and colour to the dish.  I never use sugar; the molasses and maple [...]

Leek Soup x 2

Nut Burgers

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 Dried

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 …
