  • RECIPE: Raw Kale Salad with Garlic Chipotle Tahini Dressing

    My love for tahini began several years ago and one of the very first recipes I posted on this blog (over four years ago), was for a Creamy Orange Tahini Dressing. Since then, and I think it’s safe to say, I’ve become addicted to tahini. Not only is it creamy and delicious, but it’s also…

  • REVIEW: April Favorites

    Happy May 1st!! It feels like April flew by faster than any other month – I’ve been busy trying to keep up with my independent, high-energy three-year old all while working on some major projects. With the weather warming up, we also spent most of our days outside hiking, rockhounding, exploring and pretty much just soaking up…

  • RECIPE: Raw Salted Caramel Kale Chips

    I have a confession to make. Sometimes I buy products for inspiration – to recreate a delicious treat or an even cleaner, simpler beauty product. This week it was all about kale chips. It has been a LONG time since I’ve made kale chips – usually when I’m craving them, I don’t have the patience to whip…

  • RECIPE: Cacao Crunch Smoothie

    Often times I just throw things in the Vitamix and don’t pay any attention to measurements…leaving me guessing when I try to replicate a delicious smoothie. Several weeks ago, I created a chocolate one that received quite a few ‘likes’ on Instagram, so I thought I would share the recipe here, for those who don’t…

  • RECIPE: Dehydrated Cinnamon Banana Chips

    I’m always trying to get creative with some of Willow’s favorite snacks and lately, bananas are her favorite. She is extremely finicky with texture, so getting foods just right can be tricky. She loves cinnamon, so I decided to experiment with a cinnamon sugar banana chip! Please be sure to read all the way to…

  • 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. My sweet tooth kicked in big time a few days ago, so rather than baking cookies, I opted to experiment with making some raw treats. Our love for tahini has grown even more over this last year,…

  • BOOK REVIEW: Superfood Juices by Julie Morris and My 3-Day Juice Detox

    Let me first say that I LOVE to eat, therefore, I do not believe in diets. In my opinion, if you lead a healthy lifestyle and take care of your body, there is no reason you need to deprive your body of food and it’s ok to indulge every now and then. I do, on the other…

    Raw Superfood “Blizzard” Recipe

    For those who follow my blog and don’t know me personally,  I apologize for my absence – it has been a crazy few months. From house hunting, to celebrating my daughter’s 2nd birthday, to actually buying our first home, my mind has been elsewhere, but the rollercoaster of emotions has been incredible!  I put blogging on…

  • 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,…
