Hello readers!
I’m often asked whether it’s necessary to own a Vitamix to enjoy a high-raw lifestyle. The answer is no, absolutely not! I was eating raw foods long before I got my Vitamix.

Vegan Ice Cream Takes Over the World: An Interview and Giveaway with Rob Sedgwick of Stogo Ice Cream
Hey kids.
Is there a much beloved food—a treat, a comfort meal, or an all-American favorite—that you’ve never quite “gotten”? A dessert, maybe, that others devour with relish and abandon, but you’ve simply never really liked? Chloe, for example, just doesn’t like chocolate. She doesn’t dislike it, exactly: she just doesn’t crave it, or think about [...]

Slothful Single Girl’s Summertime Pesto
Last Saturday, you heard me extol the virtues of basic recipes that lend themselves to many different variations. Well, there is no more versatile recipe than vegetable pasta. You can dress it with marinara sauce (like the red pepper marinara I love so much), cashew alfredo, various kinds of pesto, macadamia cream sauce (which I’ve [...]
Spicy Thai Salad, and My First Raw Giveaway!
Tonight’s dinner was inspired by Tuesday’s lunch. On Tuesday, in unseasonably sweltering heat, I met my lovely friend Alina—a fellow raw foods coach—at Caravan of Dreams, which is a vegan lunch spot tucked away on 6th street.
