The journey of adopting a high raw vegan diet.
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 [...]
… closer to Friday! And Halloween weekend! A weekend packed with handing out (not eating) candy, watching horror movies and getting out to see family. Thinking of horror movies, Saw VI actress Jon Mack is a raw foodie and has some interesting insights on eating on the road. That’s a huge thing for me too, [...]
I had a sad thing happen, I cut open a giant spaghetti squash for dinner, but found the insides rotten. Such a waste, I hate that! Oh well, have to try another raw soup tonight. I decided to try one using up one of the red peppers sitting in my fridge and ended up modifying [...]
I did it, substituted the banana in my smoothie this morning for a carrot and it did not taste that much different. It was not as sweet and thicker, but still had a nice berry flavor thanks to the blueberries and raspberries. Encouraging and something I’ll probably be doing from now on, keeping the bananas [...]
This should be a pretty intense week as I prepare to reload my laptop with the final version of Windows 7, I’ve been running a release candidate for months. I’m on day 8 of spinach-loaded smoothies for breakfast and still feeling good, I will start experimenting with adding other vegetables to it as the fresh [...]
I’m looking at piles of loose papers on my desk and hampers full on laundry thinking I really should get to that today, I don’t want my house to look like the one I’m watching on BBC America’s Clean House which is much scarier than the US version! Gotta love a show that will show [...]
TGIF! Another busy week down and I’m feeling pretty good after 5 straight days of spinach-loaded smoothie breakfasts, it’s amazing how satisfying a smoothie is for breakfast, making it to lunch has not been a problem. Also, energy has been plentiful this week with only one cup of coffee in the morning instead of my [...]
I’m still enjoying going over all the VeganMOFO posts still, I wish I had more time to read them all because of all the great recipes and information. I’ve also been combing the web looking for more raw inspiration such as these great pumpkin recipes. Also sticking bananas in the freezer to try this simple [...]
Happy Raw Wednesday! I was planning a trip to Apple Hill today with family, but that did not happen thanks to a change in plans. I was bummed because I got today off work to go, trying to go on a weekend this time of year is just insane. But, it apparently was not meant [...]
I’m suffering from lack of cooking inspiration today, but know I needed to do something warm and meaty for after hubby’s mixed reviews on last nights raw spaghetti. And it ended up being a chaotic evening with car trouble, so I threw together a curry stir fry late. But I did go raw for breakfast [...]
Happy Meatless Monday and a cold, windy and rainy Monday for us. I did something new for me this morning, had raw spinach for breakfast in my smoothie and it wasn’t bad. In fact, I don’t think I tasted the spinach at all, the blueberries, banana and nut milk flavors overpowered it. It was also [...]
Where did the weekend go? It can’t be over yet, I still have tons of laundry to do! *sigh* Oh well, looking forward to a productive week that includes a trip to Apple Hill, finally getting the food processor I want, trying and modifying more recipes from Jennifer Cornbleet and trying to figure out what [...]
I’m having a lazy, but productive Saturday while still recovering from chasing very active toddlers loaded with sugar and pizza and cramming myself into kiddie rides last night. Also spending time in the kitchen today to try new recipes. I got in a little shopping Costco, but found the Vita-Mix demonstration and special is over [...]
It’s Friday and I am ready to put another turbulent week of job worries behind. I was recently introduced to psyllium husk while looking at more raw recipes, which so far I’ve only been able to find at Whole Foods. It’s indigestible to humans and serves as fiber/colon cleansing source. It seems to be added [...]
This is a scary story … granted, the spinach ecol i was pretty nasty too. It reminded me that I still want to see Food, Inc. but have been putting it off. I know it’s a great, informative movie, but not sure I’m ready for all the bad news in it especially where there’s not [...]
