Raw Pizza Salad Recipe

8 May

raw pizza salad

Back in my omnivorous (and newly vegetarian days) I had tons of kitchen gadgets. I have always enjoyed cooking, and I’ve always made everything from scratch. Now that I’m mostly raw vegan, and figured out how to make mostly everything I eat with just my blender and food processor, I don’t own many kitchen appliances […]

Chocolate Covered Strawberries and Chocolate Clusters

1 May

I have a brand new work space that I am very excited about. It is very organized, which I love, and I have plenty of space to spread out. My area is made of mostly up-cycled materials; the tabletop is even made of green recycled glass (green in color and green as in good for the planet). I took […]

Strawberry Vinaigrette Healthy Salad Dressing

20 Apr

One of the questions I’m asked most often about my diet is “What do you eat!?” Well the answer to that is the most obvious one: salads. [Add typical “scoff” response here.] But before you brush me off, let me explain that my salads are never boring! Actually, nothing I eat is boring. My meals […]

Raw Chocolate Swirl Banana Cream Pie

8 Apr

I’m writing this post from inside a fully pressurized mild hyperbaric chamber in Bondi Junction, Sydney. I’m breathing in 31% oxygen instead of the 19% you are breathing in as you read this. Similar to SCUBA diving, I will experience a feeling of relaxation, mental clarity, and wellness when I emerge from this blow-up cylinder in […]

Raw Caprese Salad

24 Mar

I started my day in the mood for Italian food, specifically the cool, fresh taste of a Caprese salad. You know the kind. Fresh slices of red, ripe tomatoes layered with Buffalo mozzarella and tons of fresh basil. I have plenty of tomatoes growing in my backyard garden as well as more fresh basil than […]

Raw Strawberry Jam Thumbprint Cookie Recipe

18 Mar

Summer is out and autumn is in! There is a slight chill in the air, and the days are getting shorter. The start of autumn also means there is an awesome selection of fruit on sale at the local fruit and veg shop, and it’s hard to turn down what’s left of the taste of […]

Spicy Mango Smoothie! (Spicy Optional)

12 Mar

I love the market: mounds of fresh fruits and vegetables and loud mouthed stall-holders yelling their prices. The whole experience makes me smile. Happy Hour, or the hour or so before closing, is the highlight of any trip to the market as produce prices are too low to turn down. You might end up with 10kg […]

Caramel Crumble Raw Apple Pie Recipe

8 Mar

I asked (tweeted) what I should do with my 10kg of freshly picked apples and was told I had to make a raw apple pie. So I created one to share with you. But it’s not just any apple pie – I made you a Caramel Crumble Raw Apple Pie that’s to die live for! […]

This Raw Foodie’s Raw Diet Update

7 Mar

I knew after my 30 day raw experiment I’d be incorporating more raw meals into my regular diet, but I really never thought I’d be eating this much raw! I only planned to come up with some new raw recipes to make a few raw meals each week. Instead, I converted into a raw foodie […]

A Raw Cheesecake to Celebrate Day 30!

22 Feb

I made it! 30 days of eating only raw vegan food! After just one month of raw… I sleep better, and I wake up feeling awake. I get up without even hitting the snooze button once. Many times I wake before the alarm. I feel full after eating, and I never really experience that “starving” feeling. […]
