If you happened to hear a loud thud in the last week, chances are it was the sound of me falling off the wagon. With only 13 days left to go, raw eating is really starting to lose its luster, and fast. It is becoming time consuming and downright antisocial. I want yogurt, goat feta, [...]

zero energy dinner @ diva
Dang! Just got back into town and had forgotten all about this….. I thought this dining event sounded really interesting…. Diva Restaurant at the Metropolitan Hotel is serving up a unique dinner experience as I write this post. “Striving for zero greenhouse gas emissions produced during each dinner, while reducing the environmental footprint of the [...]

raw challenge – day 68 – almond milk
Raw Almond Milk
This week I promise to keep it simple. Way back in early June, nut milk was one of the very first items I mastered and incorporated into my raw repertoire. Not only is it quick, easy and inexpensive to prepare, it’s actually downright delicious. I now prefer it to cow’s, soy or rice [...]
