It’s been a while since I made nut milk. Time has been pitifully short lately, and it usually just makes more sense to purchase some (my current brand of choice is Silk Pure Almond, which I order on Amazon at a very good price—it’s tasty and non-GMO). That said, I really enjoy making homemade nut [...]

I’m kind of proud of myself tonight. After five years of making and experimenting with raw foods, I have finally made my very first high raw, vegan tart. Tartelette, to be precise.

Look up “slaw” in Merriam-Webster, and you’ll be redirected to the entry for “coleslaw.” The definition for that word is, “a salad made of raw sliced or chopped cabbage.” Though most coleslaw does involve raw cabbage, I like to think of “slaw” any salad of shredded veggies—usually with at least one crucifer involved. I adore [...]

I guess the thing to do as a food blogger is to approach December 25th with a slew of festive recipes. I’m sure that every post is supposed to feature photographs of perfect sugar cookies and sumptuous entrees, laid out against a backdrop of charming holiday decorations.
