Raw Food and the Farmer’s Market
The farmer’s markets around the country are back in full swing and I am loving it! I go at least once a week, sometimes twice just to have the opportunity to buy super fresh greens and veggies picked that morning! Even though many of the growers at our main market in Minneapolis are not certified…
Raw Food Questions
I just spent 5 wonderful days in Boulder and Summit County with my daughters as I turned a half of a century old. The number seems a bit staggering to me, fifty. It feels like a big number. Honestly, I don’t feel fifty. I believe in part because of my raw food diet. I spent…
Reasonably Raw
I love tea. I love losing myself in all of the wonderful aromas, the ritual of preparation, and savoring the moment that it brings. I get asked often if I drink tea. I do. Is tea raw? Not likely. I could dismiss the issue by reminding people that I am not 100% raw all the…

Dehydration Questions
One of the questions that comes up consistently both in the comments and your emails, is about dehydration. Are there alternative ways to make raw food recipes with out a dehydrator? Dehydration times and temperatures also seem to be confusing. I will attempt to answer your questions, but I also want to encourage you to…
Raw Food 21 Day Winter Challenge
I am excited. If you have been hanging around here for a bit, you know I am not consistently a 100% raw foodist. During the summer? Yes. Because it is easy to be 100%. Local produce is plentiful, the weather is warm, we crave salads and fruit. But when the temps dip below zero in…
Raw Food Fan Fridays
It’s Friday, and I am deeming it “Fan Friday”. I realize that doesn’t make a lot of sense, so I will explain. I needed a word that started with “F”, to go with Friday, and today, I am going to share some non-raw places that I am currently a fan of. I hope you will…
