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 that strict raw foodists would [...]

Digestive-Friendly Hummus
Coco-gurt.
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 pressed to think of responses. [...]
Swiss Chard Leaves Stuffed with Middle Eastern Rice
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 a wonderful meal, and it [...]
Fennel, Cabbage and Carrot Slaw with Poppyseed Dressing
Coleslaw. n. A a salad made of raw sliced or chopped cabbage. Etymology: from the Dutch koolsla, from kool (cabbage) + sla (salad).
Growing up, I wasn’t much of a coleslaw fan. It felt so conventional, so red white and blue, so likely to be served alongside a cheeseburger and fries. Now that I’m older, and [...]
Basic Chia Seed Pudding
Hey all!
So pleased with the huge reaction to Brendan’s interview. Keep the entries coming — I can’t wait to award a lucky reader with a copy of Thrive Fitness!
A few days ago I posted some of my favorite raw or semi-raw breakfast options. I mentioned that chia seed pudding is a quick and easy breakfast [...]
Green eggs and…hmmm.
Over the last few months, a number of you have written in to ask me what I eat for breakfast. Good question! Though “raw till dinner” is a very popular and handy approach to transitioning into a semi- or mostly raw lifestyle, it doesn’t work for everyone. In fact, it didn’t work for me, as [...]
Carrot Cake Smoothie, and Tribest Blender Giveaway!!
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. This said, having a good blender will enhance and contribute to a raw or semi-raw lifestyle immensely. With a decent blender, you [...]
Eating Seasonally, Eating Locally
Hey guys!
Happy Superbowl Sunday. I’m sure that many of you have plans for entertaining, which means that you’re cooking up game grub right now. Me? I’m not a football follower, and I’m a deadline this weekend, which means that I’ll probably have my nose in the books as the game is on. (Yes, I know. [...]
Desk Lunch Zucchini Wraps
Hey all!
As I mentioned in my last post, this is a nonstop week, and next week is looking exactly the same. What does this mean? Meals on the go!
With that in mind, I thought I’d share part of yesterday’s desk lunch with you.
Some people hate to eat at their desks: I’ve never been among them! [...]
Conservation Burgers
Hi guys!
Thanks for showing veganism some love in the comments to my last post.
It’s Sunday. And what does that mean? It means food prep for the week to come. At some point I mean to detail for you exactly how I plan for the week ahead. But for now, I’ll give you an overview. No [...]
