I have a love/hate relationship with raw wraps. I love them because they’re versatile, easy to prepare, and way more fun than sandwiches. I hate them because I have yet to make a homemade raw wrap that was really excellent. They’ve all been too thin, too dry, to thick, or too dense. When I went [...]

Happy Friday!!! I can’t believe that NYE is upon us. Time, as they say, flies. All morning, I did the annoying thing where I excitedly tweeted about an “awesome” recipe and then refused to say what it was. I should make a point of not doing this, because when I do, the pressure to deliver [...]

The new rules would also have cut sodium in school [...]

It’s the week of speedy raw lunches! Today’s recipe came to me at random, as I was attempting to prep for a bio lab. I had half an avocado, tons of carrots (I always have tons of carrots on hand for juicing), half a cup of aduki beans that were left over from a batch [...]

On Friday night, I had the pleasure of a unique DC dining experience: dinner at Elizabeth’s Gone Raw. It is an unbelievable fact that, in the many months I’ve now lived in DC, I have not yet had a chance to try DC’s only raw, vegan restaurant. I blame this on a few things: school, [...]

Well, that was quite the upswelling of autumnal breakfast enthusiasm. So glad you liked the buckwheat quinoa pancake recipe! Let’s switch gears today and talk about one of the great Choosing Raw love affair: guacamole. Aside from banana soft serve, I doubt there’s a single recipe that people associate more closely with my blog than [...]
