*clearly, not rawTonight was my night to make dinner, and I decided on a pretty simple yet (apparently) tasty meal.I made a sauce with almond butter, ginger, garlic and other spices and poured it on whole wheat noodles. I also stir-fried a bunch of veggies and crispy tofu. My parents said it was really good!It seems like an excellent dish to feed anyone...
I often write to newspapers, journals, authors, TV shows and companies with my thoughts on their articles, episodes and products.If I see something I like, I let them know! And if I see something I dislike, I also let them know. Either way, they're appreciative and I get my vegan, environment-loving voice heard. I've had my letters and whatnot published a number of...
YAY! So yesterday my mom bought me, my parents and my little brother our plane tickets to MEXICO!I CAN'T WAIT! We're going in late February. Less than a month. And it gets even better. A week before we leave for Mexico, we're going to Tofino (on Vancouver Island) for 5 days. We go to Tofino every year, and it's the ultimate west coast vacation....
Oh my. This is raw, vegan, and absolutely divine.I know the flavours are rather summery, and yet it's January. But I thought "what the heck"... I doubt anyone will complain.I highly suggest you make this as soon as possible, and feel your world come alive. This is actually my first raw cheesecake, and I now know it will become one of my stand-by...
Howdy folks. So if you read my blog regularly, you probably have figured out I'm a bit of a hippie. Okay, a lot of a hippie. I can't help it - I am the quintessential flower child. And I ain't changin' any time soon.Now having said that; what do you imagine a dirty, kale-munching hippie living in? Perhaps a colourfully painted VW microbus, complete...
My friend Amanda was at my house the other night, and we were planning on going to a party... but it was raining, we were tired, and we just didn't feel like going out anymore. So we were left with some free time, what to do? Amanda declared she wanted to bake "something crazy-awesome with swirls".We ended up with a tray of Vanilla...
You can't comprehend how decadent, creamy and INSANELY good this pudding is - until you make it.Got a ripe alligator pear handy? Translation: avocados. They sometimes call 'em alligator pears because of their skin... makes sense.Moving on: you like Jell-O chocolate pudding? You'll love this. Don't love Jell-O pudding? You'll love this. I know I say this about everything I make (and I'm telling...
Raw Dark Chocolate with Goji Berries. Doesn't that just sound sexy?Yes, it does. All this glorious chocolate has in it is cacao, coconut butter and a bit of natural sweetener. I added some vanilla, mesquite, sea salt and goji berries for extra decadence and some colour.Who would've thought eating chocolate could add nutrition to your diet? This chocolate may help you live longer...
Okay, so my friends have sent me these videos on YouTube that are all HILARIOUS. Why? Because they are all videos of people making fun of people - just. like. me.Vegans, raw vegans, "new age girls", and yogis. If you are any of those things - watch these! If you aren't - watch them anyway! That's all for today, folks. ...
Get it? Because they have no tops. Ha-ha. I should really spend more time developing my comedic talents, and less time making peanut butter and chocolate concoctions.On second thought... bad idea. PB and chocolate always comes first. Last night I was thinking of ways to use the raw mesquite powder my parents got me for x-mas (buy it here). It has a light flavour of...
My mom bought a loaf of chia bread at Cobs last week, and they gave her this free package of a chia shot. I thought it was cute. I love chia seeds. They're definitely the new goji berry of 2012, if ya know what I mean. (Never before heard-of "super food" that will soon be in health stores/magazines everywhere.)I already have a good...
Hello beautiful people! Nothing fancy or in-depth today (not that my posts usually are...), just salad =)I took some lovely pics and wanted to share.WHY IS SALAD SO GORGEOUS!? ...I know of many reasons, actually.Every time I have salad (i.e. every day), I have to dance around and show everyone because it's so awesome - literally. Just throw some fresh greens together with...
I'm the worst raw foodist ever! A couple nights ago, I was really hungry and since I don't fall asleep until around 3 AM now - don't ask - I wasn't going to go to bed for several hours. What was I craving for no reason? A big, fat sandwich (I don't even GET cravings, let alone eat sandwiches, so it was truly...
These are totally delicious! Everyone in my family agrees, even Greg (my big brother) who has the pickiest palate of all. If you want to make a cute, sweet and tasty dessert for a party, or for no reason at all - make these!I'm basically saying whatever your situation: go make these. now. As with most raw desserts, they're mostly nuts, seeds and dates......
*Check out more recipes for gorgeous skin here.*Got clogged pores? Do a facial steam.For me, sometimes they're the only thing that makes me feel like I really deep-cleaned my skin. You know when you go into a sauna or steam room, and feel great afterwards 'cause all your pores have been opened and cleaned? Same thing with facial steams.They're so easy, and a great way...
I've already posted about Kombucha, and will in all likelihood post about it again. Why? Because I love it!It's totally up my alley. Fermented mushroom tea. You receive a baby mushroom from your friend, and are told to let it grow in a jug of tea for 2 weeks. It then has it's own baby, and you can start a new batch of tea....
