My recent experiment with the Orange Cream Cacao Bark brought so much positive feedback, THANK YOU! Here is another new recipe for you that came out of my experimentation with Chia Seeds. This sweet, fruity topping is fantastic on anything from morning toast to “Raw I Scream” to “Cacao Brownies” . Top diced fruit, chopped [...]
When it comes to a few of my favorite raw food recipes, I have a don’t ask don’t tell policy. By that I mean unless someone asks me, and by someone I don’t mean prying, finicky eaters who want to know what’s in a recipe just so they can tell you all the ingredients they [...]
I am officially PRO-probiotics. I recently shared that I started New Chapter Organic’s Probiotic Immunity (to see that post click here) with great results. My update on the product is this, it has changed my feeling towards sweets altogether. Case and point. My family and I are road tripping to see my parents, so we [...]

Need a healthy spin on your favorite holiday dishes??
The Godizilla that tramples my healthy eating during the holiday season is my mother-in-law’s Lemon Bars. They are tangy and sweet with just enough tartness that they border on, but do not cause the sour pucker or that tinge of jaw pain that accompanies a bite into [...]
Easy to make raw, vegan brownies
I am brewing up a 14 day tour of raw cuisine for friends and family (sign up for the newsletter if you’d like to get it too). The goal is to keep it simple, well scheduled, and totally laid out with menus and shopping lists. The recipes will be delicious [...]
One of the sweets I wanted to emulate with healthier sweets was the good old fashioned orange creamsicle. Now when I was a kid this was actually made with regular sugar, fruit juice and ice cream, but take a look at the ingredients list on a box of those things nowadays and you’ll need [...]
Avoid the high fructose corn syrup and excessive food coloring in Slurpees or Icees by giving your kids this healthy alternative. Save the juice from canned pears or peaches and toss the liquid and any small bits of fruit left in the blender with ice. Provided you are using organic fruits canned [...]
