I received a Halloween email from the gals over at Raw Mom (I tuned into their Raw Mom Cooked Dad Summit – awesome) that showcased raw Halloween treats. I’m not that creative in my kitchen but when I made this raw soup, it reminded me of ogre goo or something. This recipe was inspired by [...]
I was feeling quite hungry when I increased my training sessions to 4-5 times a week, so I went back to making a raw onion dip (recipe here) on flax crackers for a power-packed lunch. I like these mineral crust flax crackers because they are full of pumpkin seeds – yay for more iron! I [...]
So my story of becoming vegetarian was really being an adventurous omnivore (you wouldn’t believe the stuff I ate; I was like into weird parts) to being very raw to semi-raw or high-raw. Labels! Anyway, I have found that I’m happy to be raw till dinner but I had always cooked meat dishes until two [...]
Hi everyone, I’ve got a dressing that is great for both salads and other raw thingies that need a sauce. As usual, I got this recipe off Choosing Raw. I always refer to this or The Sunny Raw Kitchen for inspiration. These two are non-preachy blogs that have reliable, easy-to-make recipes that are delicious. Recipe [...]
My friends think my green soups look scary, but I really love the vivid greenness of it all. Without a doubt, this is a staple in my hectic schedule. I can make a green raw soup in five minutes flat and drink it in two. I digest food pretty quickly so I make sure I [...]

Hello beautiful people, I love having some time to post more on this beloved space. I’ve more thoughts on the raw food diet and it’s been almost two years (a year and 10 months) on this journey (inspired by these posts: here, here, and here). But first, I want to share a very lovely dressing [...]
Lately, I’ve been keeping things very simple — juices, smoothies, chia puddings, salads, and raw soups. Perhaps it’s got to do with a lack of time which decreases my desire to mess around in my kitchen. Also, the non-raw fiance has been gone for a five-week business trip so I have even less motivation to [...]
As mentioned, I’ve been training for a half-marathon that is happening in about 10 days so my appetite has also grown — more like my stomach has become a sieve. I tend to get like that when I exercise 4 – 5 times a week. Yesterday was a very busy day and I had to [...]
As much as it’s essential to fuel up well before a long run, I think what you put in your body after is also equally important. When your body is exhausted and hungry from so much exertion, it truly inhales the nutrients you consume afterwards so it’s worth being mindful of post-workout food and drinks. [...]
