  • RECIPE: Raw Tahini Cups

    It’s officially summer here in Bend, OR…and when you don’t have air conditioning, that pretty much means, no oven.

  • Recipe Review: Raw Chocolate Cream Caramel Bars

    Let me first say, I am obsessed with Emily von Euw – I love her blog and creativity; her lifestyle is absolutely inspiring. She makes me want to go back to a mostly raw food diet – if you haven’t checked her out, please do @ This Rawsome Vegan Life.  We’ve made more than a handful of her raw recipes…

  • Raw Superfood Pudding

    I have a major addiction to all things chocolate and I’ve passed it onto my daughter. I’m not talking about sweet milk chocolate – we LOVE the dark stuff! Luckily we have found a way to satisfy our sweet tooth and keep it healthy. We use raw organic cacao powder (and nibs) in our smoothies,…
