Eating From Scratch: Vegan Journey
"Reinventing Indulgence" One meal at a time!
It fascinates me to watch as I move some meals from raw vegan to vegan. It’s as if there is a whole new realm of opportunity– or maybe just perspective. It’s not that I don’t want to be raw because I almost feel guilty but it’s as if I have a newfound APPRECIATION for what I may have previously viewed as a limited […]

Can I have a favorite restaurant with an exception? This is definitely a vegan favorite of mine but I have a small pet peeve. I know dogs are not allowed inside a restaurant but if you have an outside area- then why not? People eat with their dogs at sidewalk cafes all over NYC. Then you go upstate to “liberal” […]

I love raw lasagna! I have had it at four different places now and I know how to make it- just haven’t ventured over to actually doing it YET… (but I will). I like to try it everywhere it is offered.. I think I just find it interesting more than anything else. I do make amazing lasagna- I always have, […]

Today I decide to stay away from all processed foods … however, I did cook! Coming off a raw diet is like entering the world again but with different eyes. I feel like I am cheating but really I am not. I believe this was the first real meal that I cooked full on. Sometimes I call portabella my “steak”. […]

Flax power veggie protein wrap Raw? Mostly.. except the flax wrap itself. The funny thing here is that I didn’t even buy these flax wraps for myself yet I ended up eating them all over a weeks time span. It’s most certainly easier for a vegan to live with and dine with other vegans or vegetarians… or more so those […]

I have heard this name before and have seen her book online- it was time to buy it! The same time it arrived- I fell in love. For a moment I wished that my blog had more than 143 days left. That moment of insanity was fleeting however since I quickly reflected back to how this blog has taken over […]

People often ask me to post juicing recipes. Honestly, it’s not all that high tech. You can’t go wrong really juicing greens and vegetables. For me, juicing is a way to maximize my greens. I try not to miss a day and double up whenever I can. The healthiest and most energetic eating lifestyle for me to date has been […]

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. It was one of my all-time favorite dishes. I would always order it out when it was available and I would make my own […]

Eating at Pio Pio as a vegan is about equal to eating in a Brazilian churrascaria. For me… both were my favorites and now both would be extremely painful. First, I feared the lure and temptation. Then once past that… the visuals and reminders of the mass animal deaths to provide those so-called luxuries. This place is all about chicken so […]
