For those chocolate cravings, I have come up with a recipe that rivals Starbucks Chocolate Banana Vivanno in taste and definitely kills it with nutritional quality. This drink is sugar free. The sweetness comes from the banana and stevia in the protein powder. Delicious Creamy Chocolate Banana Shake 1/2 cup almond milk3/4 cup water4 ice cubes1/2 frozen banana1 T. raw …
My first ever completely raw sandwich!
Here is my lunch – avocado, mixed greens, tomato, cucumber and some dijon mustard. It was absolutely fabulous!
About Food and Recipes
This morning I set out trying to find the scrap of paper upon which I had scribbled the ingredients and measurements for the Raw Creamy Tomato Sauce I put together to serve over zucchini noodles. So far, the search has been fruitless, but I will keep you posted and put the recipe with the picture when I find it! I …
Zucchini “pasta” with Raw Creamy Tomato Sauce
This dish was really delicious! I made the “pasta” with a peeler I bought at a trade show – 3 for $25. I purchased two regular peelers (one for my mom) and one that juliennes the vegetables. Next purchase: A spiralizer – these nifty gadgets make a very long noodle!
Gourmet Raw Food and my new Excalibur Dehydrator
Well, despite my best efforts, I came down with the flu, so I have been out of commission for awhile. I am also working against deadlines for some paintings I need to complete ASAP! While recuperating, I got on a kick of looking at raw food cookbooks. I was always kind of leary of the whole idea of the raw …

This container of Manuka Honey has 400 UMF, which is one of the highest levels available. The antibacterial properties in Manuka Honey are even effective …
Raw Food Diet – Savory Green Smoothie
My new obsession – green smoothies. You can make them with a combination of fruit and greens, which disguises the flavor of the greens to some extent (a good idea when you are using dinosaur kale) but my new favorite way to get all the vitamins, minerals and fiber in a green smoothie is to make a healthier version of …
Vogel Bambu Brewed Coffee Substitute
I have been trying to cut coffee out of my diet, with varying success. I did manage to go a whole week with absolutely no caffeine – no tea, no decaf, no chocolate. Let me tell you, it was a challenge. I think I may have a mini addiction there – not to caffeine, which I have pretty much eliminated …
Does this make my life better?
I recently read a post on Unclutterer about how to talk to yourself when you are trying to make decisions about what to do with your stuff. A reader called Diana had written in and recommended asking yourself a single question when you are trying to decide what to chuck and what to keep: Does this make my life better? …
