I’m a very lucky gal. My wife may not be much into the raw eating thing, bless her heart. But she consumes a lot of what I make and she supports me for the most part. Best of all, she’s an avid gardener. She’s into being a locavore. She has planted an abundance of...

I’m so excited! I’ve booked myself for 2 weeks at the Optimum Health Institute in San Diego. I’ve been wanting to go for years and finally saved enough money to make the trip. I’m sure I’ll learn a lot. I’m really interested in the wheatgrass sprouting classes. I’ve never had much success sprouting my...

I’m in the midst of a dehydrator day a.k.a “D-day.” D-day is for making treats & staples. These are the things which make staying raw easier and more pleasurable. On the agenda today: macaroons (chocolate & blond) and almond flour. I use the macaroon recipe from “Raw Food, Real World” by Matthew Kenney &...

I’ve been quite remiss about sharing my weekly food prep. Quite shameful of me really, since this blog is about getting organized to make eating raw vegan as easy as possible. My goal is to someday get my food prep time down to less than 4 hours per week. It may be a bit...

I’ve got a new favorite salad. I’ve been making it at least once per week. I was inspired by the seaweed salads at my favorite local Japanese restaurant and the one I had in Baltimore at Liquid Earth. Seaweed has a host of health benefits. It’s great for thyroid balance since it’s a natural...

Wow! Has it really been over two weeks since I posted? Life has trumped blogging as it sometimes happens. Things are going relatively well in my raw world. I’ve been high raw for several weeks even managing to stay vegan while helping a dear friend run the Grilled Cheese Invitational. I’ve been enjoying many...

I’m going to an L.A. raw foodie potluck this upcoming Saturday hosted by Dhru (We Like it Raw), Courtney Pool (Radical Radiance), and Puki Freeberg. I’m nervous! I suffer from the shyness & insecurity when it comes to meeting strangers, especially when they’re famous (at least in the raw world). I know it’s ridiculous. ...

I usually make my own Rejuvelac. It’s easy, although it’s not instant (learn how here). It takes a day or two to sprout the grains and wait for the fermentation process to take its course. I’ve been meaning to make up a batch since I found my motivation by partnering up with my friend...
