So glad glad tomorrow is Friday after another long week at work. I am feeling fried after this week and actually had to push myself through a few workouts because of lack of energy and motivation. After running some errands after work, I was feeling pretty lazy when I got home and craving something hearty […]
New Purse & Mushroom Hemp Gravy
I’m a sucker for purses, there’s something refreshing and uplifting about switching purses when things get heavy and stressful… or maybe that’s just me. Since going high-raw vegan, I’ve become more aware of eco-friendly products and the impact of where products are manufactured. Not only am I shopping for vegan purses now, but hopefully ones […]
Just Another Day
This has already been another crazy week at work and it’s only Tuesday, no rest for the weary! Having a busy work schedule can make eating a high-raw diet a challenge requiring planning ahead which I have not been so great at the last few weeks. But it’s getting better as I get used to […]
Another Virtual Getaway
Another hectic start to a busy week and I’m on call this week. But I’d like to forget that and go back to Santa Cruz where we escaped for a long 4th of July weekend a couple of years ago. And found that’s a wonderful time to go since all the traffic and crowds are […]
Banana Chocolate Kale Chips
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 […]
Getting Adventurous
I do love my reliable smoothies for breakfast, they’re the ultimate fast, nutrient dense, utility breakfast before busy mornings at work. But they’re just not exciting on weekend mornings when I have more time to savor a leisurely breakfast. So this morning I created a tasty chia seed pudding mess that included: 1/2 cup hemp […]
Friday Relief
TGIF! So glad it’s Friday and a beautiful one here with temps in the 80s and clear. And our pear tree has fruit! Last year it didn’t produce any pears which sent us on a research fest. After some special pruning thanks to hubby, it’s coated with cute, little pears. And so is our apple […]
Recipe Wishlist
I’ve been a pretty boring person this week, my dog agrees. I wish I could gush about what an exciting Cinco de Mayo I had. But no, just stressing at work, housework, working out, and consuming leftovers – not too exciting. And being lonely and whiny with hubby still out-of-town. Kind of a rip off […]
Desperate Dinner
Poor Shadow, he misses hubby so much this week that he refuses to leave his side of the bed where he waits and pouts. He stays parked there all day and most of the evening until he gets lonely enough to settle for getting a little attention from me. After another non-stop day at work, […]
Sun Dried Tomato Hemp Sauce
So no popcorn and cereal for dinner on another lonely night without hubby. But I was craving my other favorite comfort food – creamy hemp sauce. I adore creamy tomato sauces, something about the tang of the tomato mixed with a smooth and rich texture. Years ago I had a creamy tomato Alfredo-like sauce over […]
