Peach Salsa with Raw Veggie Crackers
Sometimes good things happen when you are running late! Which we seem to do often here. It’s frustrating because I really like to be on time but it doesn’t always happen. Last Saturday, I planned on going to the Farmer’s Market. And it starts. So many things kept getting in the way of my getting…

Raw Lemon Scones with Blackberry Sage Jam
It is another warm and sunny day in the east bay area. I have never seen so many blue sky days. Coming from Minnesota, California weather frustrates me. My friends think I am crazy but I miss thunder storms… and clouds… and cool, soft rainy days. Lucky for me, a change of weather is…
Raw Jicama Veggie Chips
It’s funny how things happen. I have been wracking my brain to come up with a recipe this week. I think I need a little vacation because I am suffering a bit of summer raw recipe development burn out. Which is crazy because summer is the best time to be eating raw food. Farmer’s markets…

This salad brings together the wonderful sweetness of peaches with crunchy, nutritional kale and ties together with a tangy Maple Miso Vinaigrette and pecans. It makes a delicious, satisfying lunch or…
Eggplant No Fry Veggie Fries!
Who says “fries” have to be deep-fried potatoes? These raw eggplant veggie fries are super simple and so delicious. A quick chop and soak in the marinade and away you go! I made these in my dehydrator but you can certainly experiment with your oven. Just note if you really want them raw the food temperature needs to stay…

Homemade Flaked Sprouted Oats
There aren’t a lot of grains that I use in raw food preparation, but raw, sprouted flaked oats can really provide interesting texture, taste and substance, without all the fat and calories in nuts. And oats are energy producing powerhouses full of health benefits. Oats are a great source of heart healthy fiber…
