PM's Mexican Lettuce Wraps

PM’s Mexican Lettuce Wraps

(svenska nedan) I’ve been on the road quite a bit lately, and it’s hard to make food when you’re not in your own kitchen, right? That’s why I love this recipe for Mexican Lettuce Wraps by Philip McCluskey. It’s a great, healthy, raw take on tacos and would be easy to make wherever you are....
Chicks!

Chicks!

(svenska nedan) This past Friday, we picked up two little baby chicks from the back of a farm store. One is a Buff Orpington and the other a Gold Laced Wyandotte (that just sounds poetic, doesn’t it?). They are the tiniest, fluffiest things ever, and make little peeping sounds from inside the moving box that...
Black Walnuts, Black Hands

Black Walnuts, Black Hands

(svenska nedan) I have two black walnut trees in the backyard, and decided last weekend that I would finally start harvesting them. I had watched tutorials online on how to do this, and they all said that you should wear gloves because the stuff does stain. BS, I thought, and since I didn’t have any...
Community + Garden

Community + Garden

(svenska nedan) One of the things I love most about living in a small place is the sense of community. There is a common sense of purpose and belonging that I think it’s hard to find in larger cities. Just the other day, I came home and found this gorgeous box of fresh veggies at...

Red, White & Blue

Red, White & Blue

(se nedan för svenska) Let’s face it, most holidays revolve around eating crap. Why does it have to be that way? You don’t have to eat burgers and BBQ steak just because it’s Independence Day. Make your own decisions, stick to eating what feels right for you and let everyone else comment all they want....
Stay Away From Nutrient-zapping Microwaves

Stay Away From Nutrient-zapping Microwaves

(Se nedan för svenska) Even though this is primarily a blog devoted to the joys of eating raw, most of us do eat cooked food in one form or another at times. This is totally fine, being 100% raw is not for everyone, and many of us do benefit from including some cooked food into...
11 Ways to a Healthier Life

11 Ways to a Healthier Life

(Se nedan för svenska) Wise words to live by from some of the world’s foremost experts on health. I (or you) may not agree with all of them, but it’s always good to consider all sides of that health coin. I toast to good health with raw herbal chai latte at Rawvolution in Santa Monica....

Five Reasons to do a Juice Fast

(Se nedan för Svenska) Because I’ve been so busy lately, traveling and what not, I haven’t been able to be as healthy as I would like, especially when it comes to food. So now I’m thinking it may be time for another juice fast. So what, exactly, are juice fasts good for? There are many...
