Are we all enjoying some tasty work lunches today? I just wanted to let you all know that I'm interviewed today on my friend Kathleen's awesome blog, the Health and Happiness Club. If you guys haven't checked this one out yet, add it to your google readers: it's an intelligent, ... http://www.choosingraw.com/interview-at-the-health-and-happiness-club/ Hi guys! Thanks for celebrating IWD with me, and for your responses to Tasha's great post. One reader mentioned that she actually hadn't considered herself a feminist before reading the post, but that she was reconsidering that position. This made me so, so happy: in my experience, many women hew to ... http://www.choosingraw.com/work-lunches-for-real-women/ Hello, all, Glad we've got some interest in the wheatgrass juicer! I'm sure it'll end up in good hands. I forgot to put an end date on that contest, so let's just say that I'll announce the winner one week from today, on March 15th. For those of you who didn't know, ... http://www.choosingraw.com/until-we-are-all-free-international-womens-day/ Hey guys! Happy weekend. Anyone have fun plans? It's an editing weekend for me, which is a good thing for you: it means I'll be largely homebound, and being homebound means cooking and uncooking new grub. Stay tuned. In the meantime, I come to you all on this bright Saturday with a ... http://www.choosingraw.com/who-wants-to-win-a-wheatgrass-juicer/ Some time back, a friend of mine told me that his girlfriend's sister doesn't eat salad dressing.

The weird thing is, this young woman ... http://www.choosingraw.com/vegetable-based-dressings/ Happy Monday, folks. Glad you're into the coco-gurt! A few days ago, reader Mandy wrote in to ask how I cook my beans. Good question, Mandy: I've mentioned before that I prefer to eat beans cooked to raw, but I've never said how I cook them. I should preface this post by saying ... http://www.choosingraw.com/digestive-friendly-hummus/ Hey everyone. Thanks, first off, for your amaaazing response to my last post. I'm happy that so many of you were able to affirm your love of food. Thank you!!! As you can imagine, I'm frequently asked if there are any non-vegan foods that I miss. For the most part, I'm hard ... http://www.choosingraw.com/coco-nurt/ Hi guys! Happy hump day -- or Raw Wednesday, as it's known here on Choosing Raw. The other day, I was speaking with a client who has struggled—as so many women do—with cycles of dieting, guilt about food choices, and body hatred. Over the course of our session, she had a revelation. ... http://www.choosingraw.com/i-love-to-eat-embracing-our-appetities/ One of the very first vegan dinners I prepared for myself without the help of a cookbook--and one of the meals I've enjoyed most consistently since--was stuffed cabbage. I'd cook bulgur wheat with currants, celery, carrots, cinnamon, and cumin, and I'd stuff it into steamed cabbage leaves. It was always ... http://www.choosingraw.com/swiss-chard-leaves-stuffed-with-middle-eastern-rice/ Hey guys! It's a little late (and I'm a little tired) to post, but I just wanted to announce the winner of Thrive Fitness and a sampling of the Vega Synergy bars. The giveaway winner is #159, Ariela!!!
