We were at the vegetable stand the other day and they had organic purple carrots at 3 bunches for $1. Of course, we got three bunches and yesterday I whipped up a little raw carrot salad for lunch. I used the spiralizer, which was a bit tough with carrots — most of them turned out […]

Raw Zucchini Pesto Pasta
I guess I’m on a bit of a raw foods recipe kick on the blog. Bear with me — all I’m doing these days is writing my dissertation and eating very simple, raw foods and juices. The simplicity of my days is nice — get up, feed the animals, make juice, write for hours, walk the […]
Kale Chips – Pizza Flavored
When I made these kale chips, I told Eric they would taste just like pizza. When he tasted them, he was like, “Oh yeah, JUST like pizza!” Not sure if he was kidding or not. I think he might have been. In any case, they do have a nice tomatoey Italian flavor profile. Since we’ve […]
Experiments in Raw Food: Southwest Raw Zucchini “Pasta”
A lot of times I make foods that aren’t what I would call blog worthy. They’re things that I might enjoy eating in the moment, but they’re not really the kind of thing I would ever necessarily serve anyone else (you know, like those meals where you open a can of beans, pour half the can […]
Everyday Green Juice
It’s been nearly a month since Eric and I radically shifted our diets and starting juicing heavily. About six weeks ago, my dad watched the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and got inspired to do a juice fast to heal himself. Eric and I watched the film also and thought it would be cool to […]
Raw Buckwheat Granola with Homemade Vanilla Hemp Milk
This weekend, I spent Saturday morning with a friend who I haven’t seen in ages. We went for a lovely walk at Lincoln Park along the water and then stopped in at Chaco Canyon Café in West Seattle on our way home for a little brunch. I’ve been doing a juice fast and/or eating only raw foods […]
Summer Salad with Balsamic, Strawberries and Pinenuts
We’re at the peak of strawberry season right now and I’ve been eating strawberries almost constantly — in my oatmeal, as a snack, as a topping for waffles, and now, in salads. The chickens who live in our backyard absolutely love when I cut the strawberry tops off and take them out for them to enjoy. […]
Cinnamon Rolls (Vegan and Gluten Free)
First things first — I joined Instagram, and have to say (somewhat embarrassingly) that I’m loving seeing other people’s pictures and sharing some of my own. I’d love it if you wanted to follow me on Instagram! And Facebook, too! ANYWAY, the other day, I saw a post by The Gay Vegans about their […]
Blueberry Coffee Cake (Gluten-Free & Vegan)
I went back to the naturopath on Monday and was graduated from a no-grains-except-brown-rice diet to a gluten-free diet. This opened up another world of grains and flours and I celebrated this week by experimenting with a gluten-free coffee cake. I have to say, I haven’t had a ton of gluten-free vegan baked goods that […]
Shiitake Noodle Soup
After a visit to the naturopath earlier this week, I’ve been assigned to do an elimination diet. First step: eliminate ALL grains, except for rice for three weeks. Today is day 4 and, honestly, once I hid all the bread items in the house in the freezer so they weren’t staring at me every time […]
