Raw Sweet Potato “Fries” with Chipotle Mayo
Eating a raw food diet doesn’t mean giving up some of your favorite foods. I used to love to order sweet potato fries with chipotle mayo. But my body did not love eating them! I felt heavy, bloated and like I had been sedated! The deep frying plus all the saturated fat in the mayo…
Watermelon Lemonade
Watermelon is one of my favorite summer foods. I try to create as many raw food recipes with it as I can. Especially when they are local. Refreshing, filling and a lovely summertime dessert with it’s slightly sweet flavor! The pink, greatly hydrated flesh of the watermelon is very nutrient packed. It is the perfect…
Raw Macaroons Three Ways!
In the spirit of making raw easier, here is another recipe that starts one way, then becomes more! Start with the basic macaroon recipe and simply add different ingredients to make different cookies. My favorite are the cinnamon macadamia macaroons but you will also be pleasantly surprised by the burst of strawberry flavor in the…
Raw Strawberry Coconut Cream Pie
Summer and strawberries. What a great combination. A friend of mine dropped off a very large box of strawberries the other day and the fun began. I have been having spinach-strawberry balsamic salads, putting strawberries in green drinks and just eating them by the dozens! Noticing that the rest of the strawberries needed to be…
Raw Blueberry Flax Pancakes
Sunday mornings have always been a special time for my daughters and I. The luxury of being able to sleep in and rising to make a big breakfast was the traditional way we celebrated. My girls are now living in Colorado and Sundays seem to beckon to me in a completely different way, but I…
Sun dried Tomato Cashew Cheese Spread
Once again, in the interest of simplifying your life, we have a raw food recipe that can be used more than one way. You can start with the base, which can be eaten as it is, or get creative and add it to other ingredients to make the rawchoes. I used smoked sun dried tomatoes to give…
Strawberry Fruit Salad
Visiting the produce section is always a fun adventure. I love to see what is new and what has just shown up that wasn’t there last week or even yesterday. On my latest trip, I found blood oranges. They taste similar to regular oranges but have a deep scarlet color. A couple of them came…
One Raw Recipe Three Ways!
“Oh my gosh, I would never have the time or patience to prepare food for a raw food diet.” I hear this all the time. Important Fact: with just a little forethought, preparing raw food can be easier than traditional cooking! So, now I am on a mission. Bringing you ways to simplify your life…
Raw Chocolate (Cacao) Vanilla Banana Walnut Crepes
One of my favorite things to do when experimenting with new raw food recipes is to make my “former” favorite foods in a raw version. I love crepes. My daughters and I enjoyed many Sunday mornings with a plate of crepes. But the old version with eggs, flour, sugar, etc. leave me feeling tired and…
Raw Vegan Sushi
I love sushi. The first time I ate it I was so surprised by the explosion of flavor that hit my tongue. It was so different from anything that I had ever eaten with it’s refreshing and interesting combination of flavors. Even though sushi is thought of to be raw because of the raw fish, it contains cooked…
