The journey of adopting a high raw vegan diet.
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 [...]
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 [...]
It’s WTF Thursday here because usually by Thursday I’m running low on fresh ingredients and have to improvise a meal using random items left in the fridge. This is an extra special one since we’re trying to empty the fridge for a trip and I’ve been going slightly mad surviving work and preparing for it [...]
As a kid, I hated the day after Christmas because it was tough coming down from all the excitement, gift opening and family. Now I appreciate it more, it still feels like Christmas to me minus the stress of wrapping gifts, cooking and shopping. Today I’ve been relaxing, cleaning and enjoying the peace after so [...]
I’d celebrate the weekend getting closer, but it’s going to be another busy one for me. It’s the final weekend of helping my sister move since everything has been done on the new house and it’s time to move all the big stuff including some furniture from our house we’re giving them. Also another race [...]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. It rained and was super windy and cold here all day, really hard to get into the Spring spirit with that craziness going on outside! But we had a wonderful family dinner at my father’s house where there was plenty of room for an indoor Easter egg hunt [...]
I hope everyone is having a happy Monday. I had fun trying to drag myself out of bed this morning, slept 15 minutes past my alarm and had a nice rush to get out the door. Guess my body needed the extra sleep, though I’m pretty sure my boss wouldn’t be happy with that excuse. [...]
Yesterday was a busy and great day! As usual, I did not get to as much as I wanted to, but I got to eat and make some amazing raw treats! I actually woke up fairly early and managed to squeeze in a workout before heading to Whole Foods for a 10 AM raw desserts [...]
I pushed myself through 40 minutes of cardio and my usual Bowflex and ab routines Thursday night despite feeling drained and I felt much better after as usual, though sometimes I have to remind myself of that before. This short week seemed long and I am ready for the weekend, even though rain is predicted [...]
Happy Friday! I am very ready for the weekend and Halloween fun. CalorieLab has some interesting candy alternatives to hand out to trick-or-treaters this year. Another alternative a co-worker suggested is little tubs of PlayDough, though I’d be a little afraid if that was not well received in my neighborhood. But there are no shortage [...]
I may not have a food processor or a Vita Mix yet, but I still have a sweet tooth and a serious weakness for dark chocolate :-) When I first watched this recipe being prepared in a class, it seemed like a complicated mess that required a food processor. I’m happy to report that it’s [...]
