Today I wanted to share with you one of my favorite Raw resources. Every so often, I'll write about a product or service here, and be assured that they will always be ones that I love and use myself. As my diet becomes more refined, I find that Raw foods are among the ones that… Continue reading One of my favorite Raw resources…

Chai Spice Hemp Smoothie
Technically, this isn't a "chai" smoothie, since "chai" means tea in some languages, and there's no tea in this.... but it does use the spices that are used in some variations of Masala chai - Indian spiced tea. Does that have enough qualifiers for you? 🙂 I actually cheated in this smoothie and used Vanilla… Continue reading Chai Spice Hemp Smoothie
Raw Spicy Carrot Soup
I was in the mood for a nice raw soup, and STILL have more hot peppers to use up, so I thought about Juliano's recipe for Fiery Lava Soup. His recipe uses carrot juice, so is fairly light yet warming with the pepper and spices. I wanted one that was a little more substantial, so… Continue reading Raw Spicy Carrot Soup
Spicy-Cool Smoothie
As you can see, I'm not so creative in naming my creations :-). Today was a somewhat cool and overcast day, so I wanted to make a smoothie to give me some energy and pep... the secret weapons: a serrano pepper and fresh mint. And let me tell you, it did the job. LOTS of… Continue reading Spicy-Cool Smoothie
Pumpkin Rice Rounds
OK, I'll tell you right now that I struggled with what to call these things. They are based on a loaf recipe, but they are certainly not a loaf. I typed in "Pumpkin Rice Cakes" but then was afraid that people would think I'd made pumpkin-flavored rice cakes. And they aren't muffins, although they were… Continue reading Pumpkin Rice Rounds
Quick & Easy Vegan Corn Chowder
A couple of years ago, when I first started teaching vegan cooking classes, I developed a recipe for vegan corn chowder based on one by Tal Ronnen in The Conscious Cook. It's a great recipe, but a bit on the heavy side, filled with thick cashew cream, Daiya cheese, potatoes, etc. This recipe is very… Continue reading Quick & Easy Vegan Corn Chowder

Great Green Juice
Now that my orgy of indulgence in New York is over, it's been time to get back on track around here. Juices, smoothies, lots of raw (and some cooked) veggies, oatmeal and more..... Juice is one of my favorite things, especially light and refreshing green juices. It's still been warm here in the afternoons -… Continue reading Great Green Juice
It’s off to NY I go… and the most amazing sandwich!
I"m leaving veeeery early tomorrow morning to spend 6 days in New York City. It all started with a nutrition conference that I wanted to go to on the weekend... then I added a couple of yoga classes to teach.... then I figured that I can't be in NY without seeing a couple of shows...… Continue reading It’s off to NY I go… and the most amazing sandwich!
Banana Romaine Salad – My Tweaked Version
Salads in our house are typically the a-little-of-everything, chopped up and served with a nice tahini dressing or balsamic viniagrette sort. These are wonderful, and incredible sources of nutrition, but every so often I want a salad with more focused flavors. One of my favorites is Kristen's Banana Romaine salad with ginger shallot dressing. I… Continue reading Banana Romaine Salad – My Tweaked Version
