Eating From Scratch: Vegan Journey
"Reinventing Indulgence" One meal at a time!
Ever drive your friends crazy with the latest foodie idea, diet, meal plan or weight goal? I do – all the time. I don’t actually know how I even have any friends left. This time it was day 3 of Raw til’ 4. My friends were willing and excited (I think) to do a vegetarian weekend upstate. “Vegetarian”.. I’ll take […]

I’m a sucker for a free ebook, especially of the recipe variety! I think these email offers with a dozen online bonus gifts are the new infomercial. They get me every time – drawing me in to the point where I forget what I am buying. When the real purchase finally came in the mail, What Do Raw Fooders Eat, I admitted to myself that I better […]

“Good luck eating vegan in Barcelona”, I was told. “They don’t really have any vegetables!” What? I was puzzled being that Barcelona is such a major tourist city. I imagined it would be somewhat culturally diverse in its cuisine. Barcelona is world renown for it’s beautiful architecture especially the stunning work of Antoni Gaudí. Barcelona is also a popular destination […]

Vegans and hummus go hand in hand. More frequently than not, it’s our saviour. Well.. mine anyway. It’s like a safe food. Non-vegans generally adore it and so will offer it as a snack at parties. Many restaurants will carry it, especially the Mediterranean ones and for sure.. a falalfa place is always nearby. In New york at least! Hummus […]

I guess you can say I have been in a spaghetti zone lately. It comes and goes but this week has been a hit with an amazing spaghetti squash recipe that I made. Those with addictive tendencies know that when we have something on our mind- it’s not over til’ it’s over. Might as well take that as an opportunity […]

Imagine a carb-less wrap that’s vegan, gluten-free and low calorie. That’s how I think of my homemade summer rolls now. Quite often I opt to order the summer rolls on a menu as an appetizer. I really do love them and they are usually healthy– but I do this too, more so because they are often one of the only vegan options that are not […]

How could something that looks like a plastic toy that I had as a kid to shape clay aka Play-Doh — make me so happy? More importantly, why have I never experienced this before. This is why when I go out for dinners to friends or restaurants, that everything seems to look so fancy. It’s like I missed the spiralizer […]

I have to remember that when time is of the essence, raw can really be convenient. Of course at times, you may have to soak, sprout and dehydrate in advance, but when you incorporate this healthy way of eating into your life it becomes a welcomed practice. I soaked my cashews for two hours. Then when I was ready to […]

I love KEY LIME PIE! Not such an easy thing to replicate, however, this recipe is probably close EXCEPT that I’m sure I messed something up. It didn’t look good for sure. The pecan crust was amazing of course but the filling was a bit more challenging. I think I went avocado crazy lol. It’s really a shame that I […]

It’s APPLE SEASON so I did have to make a few apple pies! There is a difference between vegan apple pie and raw vegan apple pie! Obviously, raw is not cooked! I needed the warm apple pie feeling yesterday to calm my anxiety about the hurricane which was and still is a nightmare for many of my friends, families, neighbors; […]
