The journey of adopting a high raw vegan diet.
Even though it was a busy weekend, I still miss it! I had a great 6-mile run Saturday training for an upcoming 12k race. And had enough energy to take the dogs for a long walk after to visit grazing sheep in our neighborhood. They all came to the fence to get a closer look [...]
Happy Super Bowl Sunday, hope your plans for the big day are for fun and great, healthy food. Ours are up in the air since poor hubby arrived home from his week of business travel with flu symptoms running a fever all of yesterday, coughing, and no energy. Miko, with his dirty toy, has been a [...]
It’s a wet weekend here and our two dogs are not happy refusing to venture out into the backyard in the wind and rain. Okay, I didn’t either for this mornings run. I was planning a quick 3-mile run, but ended up on the elliptical instead with the gusty winds outside. I can handle running [...]
What a week already, lots of madness at work, sinus headaches, and I’m wondering where the weekend disappeared to so fast! Our family gathering Sunday was great, even if I spent the first part of the day slaving in the kitchen while the guys chilled. Rough life, huh? But the recipes I threw together were [...]
So far July is off to a stressful start here, the work week started with a bang with a couple of server issues today and I’m on call this week dealing with more issues tonight and hoping for things to settle down enough to get in a workout, ugh! I had a feeling this was [...]
I’ve never been big into preparing special meals on Valentine’s Day since it usually falls on a work day and all I want is a simple night out with wine. But I’ll make an exception if the recipe is quick, easy, and loaded with chocolate. In fact, with as stressful as work has been lately, [...]
Gah, how did another weekend whiz by so fast? It was such a relaxing and productive weekend that I’m not ready for it to end! I used the off-and-on rainy weather as an excuse to enjoy some downtime at home working out in our home gym with a helpful ab weight buddy. This pretty much [...]
One of my splurge buys at the Living Light Marketplace was mesquite powder, something I’ve never worked with before and didn’t know much about. It looks and smells a lot like raw cacao powder with a rich, chocolaty smell. And it seems like it’s used in a lot of raw chocolate desserts and savory chili [...]
Pretty obvious that I’m obsessed with hemp seeds, more so than nuts. To me, they’re a super food with high quality protein, all the essential amino acids, and a great source of omegas. But I haven’t really tried any dessert recipes with them. If chickpeas and black beans can make desserts, hemp seeds can make [...]
This is a recipe that I’ve been thinking about for the last month or so, but my chaotic schedule has kept me from perfecting it. That finally happened this weekend! One of the main reasons I was so drawn to raw recipes nearly two years ago is their ability to take healthy, whole, natural ingredients [...]
I am so relieved this week is over! With being on call for work, running on a lack of sleep and juggling tons of stuff, I thought it would never end! Plus my Chi Ceramic hair flat iron decided to die in the worst way possible, the plastic power switch assembly broke off for no [...]
