Between my farm box, dad’s garden, and sister’s garden, we’ve been having a zucchini situation lately as in it’s everywhere! We can’t use/unload it fast enough. For lunch, I spiralized one and served with raw corn, chopped heirloom tomato, and a fast dressing I threw together of hummus, tahini, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and water. […]
Keeping It Easy
My husband and I love to hike, explore new trails, and just enjoy nature. That’s something I love about living in the Sacramento area, there are so many hiking trails all around us. It’s so easy to escape to an entirely different climate if the valley gets too hot – like taking a day to […]
Bad Shipping Luck
TGIF! So happy Friday is finally here after this week, I’m looking forward to some serious running and down time this weekend and I don’t care if it’s gonna be 100 degrees! But my crappy week had to end with a bang in the form of a box I received from Amazon today. This was […]
I’m So Spoiled
Even though my birthday was last week, I’m still celebrating and that’s all right with me. This week at work has been just insane, so it was wonderful to break away for an extended lunch break with my dad and his wife for a late birthday lunch. Since I didn’t get to go to the […]
Raw Summer Squash Soup
In our last farm box, we got some unique looking yellow and green summer squashes. I assumed they tasted a lot like zucchini and took a gamble modifying a raw creamy zucchini soup recipe for these. The texture kind of looks like vanilla soft serve ice cream, that would be an interesting surprise! Because […]
Curried Protein Quinoa
One of the sessions I went to at the Raw Health Expo was called “Where Do You Get You Protein?” by Dr. Rick Dina. A question every vegan loves, right? But it was an informative session outlining that a vegan diet high in a variety of plant foods not only contains plenty of protein, but […]
Cleanse Time
Either Leela is recovering from her little misadventure Saturday or, like me, has a serious case of the Mondays because she’s been a little couch potato most all day. She even needed a little extra motivation for her usual walk – not like her! Maybe I need to try her on a raw diet again. […]
Raw Health Expo 2011
Yesterday my mom and I ventured on a 3-hour drive to Sebastopol just to attend the Raw Health Expo for a few hours. It may seem crazy, but last year I attended with my sister and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I knew the drive would be worth it again because Cherie Soria of the Living […]
When it Rains…
it pours, right? I just got home from a crazy long day, mostly a good one until about 7PM. Today my mom and I left at the crack of dawn for a 3 hour drive to the Raw Health Expo. I had such a great experience last year, that I wanted to attend some of […]
Taking It Easy
To make up for not taking my birthday off work yesterday, I took today off instead for a long weekend. And I’m glad I did because I needed it after a busy few weeks and a busy day planned tomorrow with hours of driving. Today was about a laid back schedule of doing whatever I […]
