I learned something about beets with my dressing experiment yesterday – they turn pee pink. That scared me at first, guess I’ve never eaten that much raw beet at once. I’m pretty sure I don’t have an iron deficiency, but I’m going to check now anyway. I’ve also been enjoying a lot of fresh ginger […]
Creamy Cauliflower
This week feels like it’s dragging for me, seems like today should be Thursday, not Tuesday. Oh well. Interesting article from the New York times for a new Michael Pollan book and seems to support much of the raw diet. The second fact is that people who consume traditional diets, free of the ersatz foods […]
Whole Foods Raw Fair
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend so far. I sure am! Our local Whole Foods had a Raw Foods fair today that I had a great time at sampling, listening and getting exposed to new products. I went to every demo both and sampled more a huge variety of raw treats, what a […]
Eating Out
I had a wonderful day with my sister shopping and eating around Sac town. We finally got to a new raw restaurant, The Art of Food, that I’ve been meaning to get to for a month now. This was my first experience eating at a raw restaurant, beyond samplings in classes and Whole Foods demos, […]
Jicama Mash with Pineapple Salsa
Some raw recipes make me laugh because they are so complex, requiring so many sub-recipes, to mimic a non-raw recipe. The Fully Loaded Pizza w/ a Cheesy Crust recipe in the current issue of Get Fresh! is just one of those recipes with 8 sub recipes and 13 steps!?! Look at this multipage madness: I’m […]
Super Salad & Cookies
I did something stupid this morning – forgot to put hemp protein powder in my smoothie. I was running a little late and preparing other foods for dinner before running out the door and just forgot. It didn’t dawn on me until mid-morning when I started feeling hungry at work, I also felt a bit […]
Nut Milk
The weather has been awful today with sideways rain all day and that fun is supposed to last all week. It didn’t help that I managed to get St. Ives Apricot Scrub in my eye last night that I was unable to get out until this afternoon after swabbing the innards of my eye with […]
Going Nutty
Merry Friday Eve! And before a 3 day weekend! And one of those days is actually supposed to be sunny here for a change! I’m still skeptical, but am planning to get in a little outdoor time if said sunny day actually happens. Anyway, I’m also hoping to load the Excalibur with many new recipes […]
Simple and Healthy Recipes
Whew, what a weekend! Where to start?!?! The weather was cold and gloomy all weekend, I have not seen sunlight in over a week now and I’m really starting to miss it. I’m going hiking as soon as we get a sunny weekend! But our weather was a cake walk compared to the rest of […]
Brazil Nut Parmesan
Well, back to the grind this week to what should be a quiet week, but isn’t … people out sick and on vacation while servers blow up is not good. Californians got good news this week though, California is banning restaurants from using trans fat starting Jan. 1. Not a huge deal for me as […]
