why Raw food?

People often ask me why I am working so hard to get myself on a Raw food lifestyle. There are so many, and at one point when I’ve been fully Raw long enough I will detail them here. But today, let me instead share with you just ONE of the many inspirational stories that have [...]

Why I Think Milk Sucks

For sometime now, I have been limiting my intake of cow’s milk products – any kind of dairy from Milk, cheese, ice cream, yogurt, etc. But I am getting ahead of myself, let me tell you why.

Years and years (from about 10 years old to 22) I suffered from chronic sinus infections, and was constantly [...]

The World Affects What We Eat

Recently I read Heidi’s post about the Moro East Cookbook, and I was very sad to read that these wonderful community gardens were destroyed because of the Olympics Committee decision. You can read the full article here. This is a classic example, in my opinion, of how the world is so blind to the importance [...]

Thanksgiving

We made some terrific stuff for Thanksgiving, and I will be catching up over the next few days. One of my favorite dishes are the Raw Chocolate Cherry Almond Truffles…. phew! (they’re darn good)

Check out my post here for the recipe and pictures. More to come later on our gluten-free stuffing experiments.

Olives, a slight mishap

Recently I’ve been making some terrific multigrain GF bread and enjoying sandwiches of all variety. Well I decided to incorporate green olives from the salad bar at my store. Now, I must allow that I seem to usually be alright with a food item as its advertised. If there are no glutenous ingredients listed, I [...]

A Broken Hip with Love

The ever-joyful GFG Karina evidently hurt herself recently – which is too bad and I hope it doesn’t keep a her down for long. On a side note, I love the post linked here because I utterly agree with her about the “love” comments.

And yes, love ain’t neat and orderly… it’s messy. But loving the [...]

Staples in a GF Kitchen

As my mother was recently reminded that she is Gluten-intolerant (and she has been ignoring it a bit), I recently got a chance to show her my kitchen staples and some “Do’s and Dont’s” of a gluten-intolerant kitchen. This was actually fun, because it reminded me how vigilant we need to be about what is [...]

Evolving

Personally, I am going to continue posting any GF/soy-free recipes on here but the focus of this blog is going to change. I will be posting personal thoughts and other random things as well.

As an intriguing tease for you, I have lost 26 pounds so far eating about 70-80% raw and I feel terrific. You [...]

coconut oil

I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you all a newsletter I receive from BLI (Better Life Institute). On staff there is Dr. Chet, who creates these wonderful email newsletters filled with FACTS and medical studies and all sorts of powerful information. Particularly, my favorites would be the recent series he has been [...]

I Miss My blog!

I have been a bit absent lately as my hubby and I embark on a new journey in our lives….. Raw food. Sounds weird, right? Having said that, I miss the process of cooking. REALLY miss it.

Cooking is so creative. It brings me such joy to bring a dish to fruition from my imagination [...]
