Day 29: Yes, I made another raw cake. What is happening to me? I love them! They taste so fresh and delicious. You should have seen me hammering open the coconut. Stupidly, I bought one of the older ones, so I was cracking it open with a hammer and a screwdriver! There has to be […]

Day 24a: I can’t stop snacking on this. It is very rich, though, so I only pick at a little at a time. I made more pasta just so I could put this on the top. I halved the ingredients and it was plenty. I’ll put the full recipe below. Ingredients: 2 cups raw pine […]

Day 24:  The pasta sauce is adapted from Raw Food by Elrica Palmcrantz and Irmela Lilja . I added a whole bunch of basil rather than one sprig. I had never thought pesto could ever work without Parmesan cheese, but it totally does. Plus, if I used it on vegetables or some kind of vegetable […]

Day 22: Yes, this is a vegan dish! Noodles and gravy is what my friends Mary and Jeff would call this dish. They are both Italian-Americans. Me? I would call this pasta with neopolitan sauce, but in America, I’d be wrong. In Italy, and in England, they call the standard tomato sauce Neopolitan and the […]

Day 18: I still have a cold which I suspect is why I am adding chili to everything. Here is the guacamole I made with chili. I would normally use fresh coriander (cilantro) but, as I didn’t have any in the fridge, I used my dried powder, instead. Ingredients: 2 ripe avocados (I prefer Hass) […]

Day 13: I love these! I adapted this from Kimberly Snyder’s The Beauty Detox. I used olive oil as I didn’t have any grapeseed oil. I, also, used more oregano as I didn’t have dried rosemary in my cupboard. Ingredients: 1 pound of sweet potatoes, cubed 1 Tbs Olive Oil 1 Tbs dried Oregano Pinch […]

Day 12 – Today I made almond milk. Yes, I am a person who now not only drinks, but makes, almond milk. I am not sure how I feel about this but, I have to say, it tasted delicious, particularly when I make my raw hot chocolate. This is adapted from Kris Carr’s Crazy Sexy […]

Okay, I LOVE these! They are adapted from The Beauty Detox, by Kimberly Snyder, but I have been making them so long now, I have added, modified and am doing my own thing with them, as I hope you will, too. I can write this recipe by heart: 1 cup of raw, unpasteurized almonds, soaked […]
