Chia Fruit Salad
What do you think about when you hear, Chia? If you are like a lot of people, the commercial, chia…ch ch ch ch Chia…starts playing in your head. Did you have a chia pet? I did. Little did I know that those tiny chia seeds…the ones that grew the mad “hair” on the little terra…
Raw Tropical Biscotti
Many of us are often on the run in the morning. A great way to start the day on your raw food diet is with a green drink. They are quick and very healthy. I love them because I know I have given myself a big dose of much needed greens. It takes some of…
Raw Buckwheat Treats
One of the best things about starting this blog has been meeting all of the wonderful people out there who have become readers! Caleb Simpson, photographer and rock climber extraordinaire, has made quite a few recipes from the site and always provided great feed back. The other day, he e-mailed me to let me know that…
Raw Strawberry Banana Crepes!

Spicy Corn Chips
In the winter, to make my raw food recipes, I do a lot more dehydrating than I do in the summer. It seems that I have my Excalibur dehydrator going all the time! It is serving dual purposes, though. I need the heat for the rejuvalac and also for sprouting. It is cold here in…
Raw Chocolate Mousse
Cacao chocolate mousse is good for your brain, your body and your attitude!
Chocolate Dried Cranberry Pecan Flat Bread
Once again, I found myself with an abundance of sprouted wheat berries on my hands. I made the Onion Flat Bread and Cinnamon Pomegranate Bread. With the left over wheat berries, I wanted to create a raw food recipe with cacao to make a nice little dessert bread to have a healthy way to satisfy…
