My friend Elizabeth (aka Girl Gone Raw) showed me a super-simple raw chocolate bar recipe last Summer during my 6 week introduction to Raw Foods. It’s hard to believe that making chocolate could be so quick, easy, and…oh…good for you! Since then, I’ve used her recipe as a base for so many yummy creations, like [...]
I’m such a snacker, and am always craving savory/salty, and especially, spicy treats, so you can imagine my joy when I found this great Spicy Raw Nut recipe on one of my fave Raw recipe sites Do Eat Raw. It did take a little trial and error to adjust the recipe to my liking. First, [...]
This recipe is inspired by a great basic salsa recipe from Alton Brown, with just a couple of adjustments. His recipe calls for roasted jalapenos, which I have removed (& adjusted raw jalapeno qties). Also, his recipe calls for 2 dry ancho chiles, which I didn’t happen to have on hand, so I’ve replaced them [...]

I have been going crazy over apples these past couple of weeks, and apple picking season is just starting. A couple of weeks ago, I shared a yummy raw applesauce recipe, and here’s one more way to enjoy those local, organic apples. Apple chips pack well, so they end up in any bag I walk [...]
Yes! Sushi can be completely vegan, raw, and easy to make toboot. Already close to fitting the bill in their traditional form, my veggie maki rolls replace rice with a delicious veggie blend. Paired with a yummy dipping sauce, these are so pretty to look at, but they won’t last long, so be sure to [...]
Fall is the time of year when my comfort food cravings really start to kick in. This past week, the need (yes, I mean NEED) for Mac & Cheese hit me like a case of Annie’s Homegrown Organic. After some searching on the internet, I hit my kitchen with five distinctly different takes on raw [...]
