eat to live

8:00 PM
Hey guys and gals, I wanna tell you about the book I just finished reading. It's called Eat To Live, by Joel, M.D. Fuhrman. I highly recommend reading it; especially if you want to lose weight. It's great for every type of person to read. It basically explains why a mainly raw and vegan diet is best for everyone, along with some mild exercise....

Check out my more recent recipe here.I made this for the Christmas holiday, and it was HUGE hit! =) So flavourful.I aged the cheese for a couple weeks, then got nervous it wouldn't keep until Christmas so... I froze it - I KNOW, terrible. I'm bad. I really shouldn't have. But I did. It turned out fine though.I recommend aging your cheese a...

Protein Chia Pudding

2:33 PM
I had this after my workout a few days ago. It was very tasty and full of protein to rebuild the muscle tissue I just broke down =) If you like chia - and it's unusual texture - you'll love this. Chia is a superfood. It has tons of protein, healthy fats, fibre, and gives you long-lasting energy. And yes, it IS the...

Your food should make you sing and dance, and want to share your joy with the world. My food does! =)Every time I make a green smoothie, I want to take a picture of it and show it to everyone 'cause they're so beautiful, health-giving and delicious! It's the same for salads. They're always SO gorgeous and green.So here's some pictures =) This...

banana bread

This is a family recipe and I remember many good times in the kitchen as a little kid, with my mom whipping this up in the Kitchen-Aid. I wasn't tall enough to see over the counter in the big, whirling metal bowl but I knew that it's contents were always delicious, and if I was lucky that day - I'd get a spoonful...

So. I know this blog is supposed to be centered around RAW vegan foods, but I cannot resist my addiction to baking. I've always loved baking. Now I just love vegan baking! =)Plus, with the holidays and all, there's really no way I'm not gonna be making all sorts of delicious and semi-healthy baked goods for family and friends.Who doesn't want a vegan...

3-Day Apple Fast: Complete

10:13 PM
Well... that was easy!I was contemplating going a few more days this morning, but I decided against it for family reasons. My parents worry. I understand why, but I know myself better than anyone else does so I know what's best for me!I would say yesterday was my best day. I was very uplifted, spiritually speaking; and experienced several personal insights. Physically, I...

apple fast: day 3

6:04 PM
Hey guys. Today's the third of my apple fast. I feel okay. I think tomorrow I'll start eating other food again. I'll start with a green smoothie (YAY! I miss you, smoothies!) and then later probably have some raw soup... mmm =)I've been looking into doing a grapefruit fast as well. Same idea, but instead of apples - grapefruit! I love grapefruit and...

One month holiday break, baby =) Having said that... my Philosophy final is tomorrow =SSo after my restful slumber, I drank a ton of water as usual, and studied a little until I was hungry. Then I ate an apple! Later my friend came over...

apple fast: day 1

4:55 PM
Today so far is fine. It was SFU's last day of classes, not including finals. So THAT'S something to rejoice about. I need a break. I feel okay at the moment, a little tired but that's because I AM tired, and I've only eaten 2 apples today =S Not enough, even for a cleanse. I'm gonna go snarf down another as soon as...

*Sorry this post is a little long... I ramble.  Hey all you good people. Lately I've been feeling a little down, partially because the term is ending and finals are coming up; and also because life just hasn't been that interesting lately!Don't get me wrong, because you probably just did. I mean that in a special kind of way. Life is ALWAYS absolutely...

raw hot chocolate: OMG!

10:30 PM
I've made raw hot chocolate (I'm just gonna call it hot chocolate, okay) before so I know it's delicious. But I guess tonight the universe just wanted it to taste more out-of-this-world decadent than normal. So it did! I also haven't made it in awhile, so it was extra yummy.This hot chocolate warmed me up and was the perfect accompaniment to the cold...

"Happiness is this!" was the first thing I said when I had a spoonful of this soup. Not only had it been a long day on campus, and I had had a really hard workout (my leg muscles are crying), but it was also the beginning of my three day weekend.So, when I finally was able to sit down with this glorious bowl...
