I’m in Pittsburgh visiting my family and attending the wedding of one of my oldest friends (we’ve known each other since nursery school). It’s been lovely spending time with family and yesterday was a particularly nice day. My grannie on my mom’s side lives in Pittsburgh and we spent the afternoon together yesterday. The night […]

Chocolate Cherry Bars
These bars are sweet, but not too sweet, are full of rich flavors, and they travel well. If you’re headed out on a trip and are looking for something delicious, vegan, raw, and sustaining, these bars are just the thing. I generally like to eat bars when I’m on the move — either travelling, going to […]
Chocolate Maca Smoothie
Chaco Canyon Café has been our go-to spot for eating out this summer. They’ve got wonderful raw options and some really great cooked food and sandwiches. They also have an extensive juice and smoothie bar menu. One of our favorite smoothies at Chaco is their ‘Chaco Maca’ smoothie. We like them so much, we’ve been […]
Heirloom Tomatoes with Creamy Pesto & Kalamata Tapenade
The weather has started to turn rainy, which in Seattle is a sign of fall and winter coming. We’re having more and more cloudy days (which I love!) and the temperatures are cooling. But heirloom tomatoes are still the star of the farmers markets. Heirloom tomatoes taste like summer and, paired with the fresh, bright […]
Frozen Banana Blackberry Torte
Since Eric and I have been eating raw, we’ve been eating a ton of frozen banana soft serve ‘ice cream.’ If you’re unfamiliar with this delightful treat, it’s just frozen bananas in the food processor (or high-powered blender) until smooth and creamy. It’s the best soft serve ice cream I’ve ever had. I don’t know […]
Nectarine Crumble on a Cloudy Morning
Morning! I woke up this morning to a foggy Seattle day and, as I was drinking my green juice and reading my blog reader, I was delighted to find that Carrie of Carrie on Vegan had posted two lovely recipes for peach crumble. Thanks, Carrie, for a little inspiration on a cloudy morning! I love peaches […]
Ginger Peanut Carrot Salad
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 […]
