Kombucha is a fermented tea (yes, this stopped me in my tracks for many years learning that). It’s made with a starter culture called a SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast), also referred to as a mother. Just like raw apple cider vinegar. It is a probiotic of life’s energy. Pro = in favor… read more »

~ raw, dehydrated ~ It’s funny, I have always known that prunes are dried plums but yet in my mind when I think of both of them… they seem like completely different fruits. I happen to LOVE prunes. Growing up, I would sneak them out of the kitchen cabinet as… read more »
~ raw, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free ~ As a child, I was a tree climber. I was constantly in search of a mighty, hefty trunk that I could shimmy up. We moved a lot during those childhood years. And as Mom scouted the surroundings for school and job locations, I only… read more »
~ raw, vegan, gluten-free ~ Have any of you eaten those Chili Cheese Flavored Fritos? My mind might be playing tricks on me, but that is what these corn nibblers remind me of. I went in search to see just what those Fritos are made of and all I… read more »
Learning to create homemade sweet treats can be very rewarding. I know, I know, it is much easier to just grab a bag of candy as your navigate your buggy down the grocery store aisle. But I encourage you, learning how to make your food and your treats from scratch are well worth the effort.

~ raw, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free ~ For a taste of the unexpected, you must try these Chocolate Fennel Tootsie Chews.

Before the days get busy (eeeer) I wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and to remind you of how thankful I am for you. But this warm fuzzy feeling that I have doesn’t just happen one day out of the year. Every day, I reflect on how blessed… read more »
~ raw, vegan, gluten-free ~ Goji berries and cherries deserve to be “grafted” together because the combination creates such a delicious flavor. Goji berries on their own have a distinct taste reminiscent of cranberry. When you combine that with the sweetness of the cherry… well, it’s a perfect balance. If you ask me that is.… read more »

A blender is one of the most crucial appliances you can own as a raw vegan. It is a tool that you are going to be using on a regular basis, and this means that the higher quality tool you have, the better results you will achieve. They are great for creating sauces, soups, nut milks, blended beverages, dips, and so forth.
The Magic Bullet can chop, mix, blend, whip, grind, and more. It includes a wide array of dishwasher-safe attachments which makes clean up as easy as it gets. I highly recommend owning a Magic Bullet or the equivalent.
I know what you’re thinking…do I need a food processor when I already own a high-powered blender?

I have been making veggie noodles since 2014. Once I started, I have never stopped. Everyone touted them as an excellent replacement for spaghetti noodles, but I think they are so much more than that. They are versatile, flavorful, nutritious, come in many shapes, colors, and let’s not forget that they are fun and easy to make.
I am always asked about ways to save time in the kitchen. Organizing your pantry is just one way to reduce the amount of time it takes in finding ingredients. Using glass containers that either stack or line up on the shelves will speed things up as well. It allows your eyes to give everything a quick glance over, taking inventory of what you have on hand. There are times where I use plastic cambros, which I will talk about down below.
Most unflavored kombucha drinks have roughly 2-6 grams of sugar per 8-ounce glass.Do you know how much is in your home brewed kombucha?

Non-dairy milks are a raw vegan staple. If you haven’t experienced freshly made milks, whether they are made from nuts, seeds, coconut, or even some grains… you are missing out. Boxed versions that you can find on the grocery store shelves are typically loaded with unnecessary ingredients and are void flavor. And that my friend is just a crime.
