Eating From Scratch: Vegan Journey
"Reinventing Indulgence" One meal at a time!
It’s the simple things in life! I love fruit! I really couldn’t be happier eating fruit! When and how to eat fruit always seems to be a topic but not really for me. I just came off eating raw vegan for one month and honestly, fruit saved the day… and that’s any day.. any time.. for me! Each person is […]

It has been a top priority for me to make coconut ceviche from the moment I knew it existed. One of the last items for me to release from my diet before going vegetarian was ceviche.

Actually pizza and tacos are not the worst foods in the world when you make them yourself with more natural ingredients and when you don’t over indulge. It’s hard though when you […]

This was an assignment for my herbology class at ACHS. We are studying diaphoretic herbs of which there are two types: Stimulating and relaxing. “Stimulating” diaphoretic herbs affect the nerves to the sudoriferous glands resulting in an increase in perspiration. “Relaxing” diaphoretic herbs affect the periphery sensory nerves which then dilate the capillaries and blood vessels. This increased blood flow […]

My second time making this granola– not sure if I officially blogged it yet! I have to fully credit Celine Beitchman from the Natural Gourmet Institute for Food & Health. It was here during a Living & Raw Food Intensive that I learned and practiced this original recipe. From this recipe, I varied slightly over to my own style. Of […]

Raw vegan dining- two days back to back! This time it’s Quintessence– another restaurant which is mainly all about the raw vegan dining experience. Wait… they recently added a few non-raw items to the menu due to a shift in beliefs about including some cooked grains to ones diet. I wrote a little about it in an earlier blog during […]

I had this dehydrator gift from a friend of mine for one whole year and a half. Now that I learned all about dehydration… it was time to open my present (besides the fact that she was really beginning to get mad that I hadn’t used it yet lol)- thanks Dawn! It was perfect timing since the girls were with […]
