My lovely mother came to have lunch with me today!  She’s very interested in eating more raw food, so I made her my delicious cauliflower tabouli.  I decided to try a different take on the salad and make it even more Mediterranean in flavor.  To the onion mix, I added 1 stalk of celery, 1 [...]

YUM! I created this recently, and it is now a favorite. Best with fresh veggies from the garden. One of the things I like about it, is its versatility. This dish is known for its fresh veggies, so if you have them, throw it in! Mushrooms, pine nuts, and bell [...]

Yes, its been a while since my last post, but I have a good excuse.  I have just recently returned from Ashland, Oregon where we’ve been living for the past two weeks!  Joe was taking a bike mechanics course, and I spent a lot of time enjoying the city.  I did, however get tired of [...]

It’s been on the busy side lately, hence my brief absence of posting.  I’ve been going to three belly dance classes a week, (which I think is peachy keen), working on my garden, hiking, biking, camping and preparing for a two week excursion to Ashland, Oregon (we leave tomorrow!)  Now that we’re all packed I [...]

As the title suggests, I’ve been keeping busy lately by all the performances I’ve been doing!  It seems that once the weather warms up a bit, its non stop belly dance activity!  Here’s a list of some of the venues:  Speak Through Dance: Autism Awareness Show, SLC Sci-Fi Convention, Thia’s Wild West Show, and the [...]

A lot has been going on since I last blogged.  Discovery #1:  Joe and I finally made it over to Cali’s Natural Foods, which is an awesome store in the heart of SLC.  I love this store!  We found so many great deals there and I was able to buy all the ingredients I needed [...]

A few weeks ago my mom gave me a Jiffy greenhouse to start seeds in.  My egg carton seeds have not being doing so well.  The only ones to sprout were the tomatoes, and they have been transplanted in peat pots for a while now.

Well, its been several weeks since I filled up my greenhouse [...]

Ssssss….there’s a lot of ess sounds going on lately.  Well, here’s what we’ve been up to for the past few days:
Made some raw sushi, oh so good!

Then we played in the snow in some excellent powder!

Joe and I discovered a new trail on Antelope Island.

It was beautiful!

Another first for us yesterday: Spiral Jetty, the infamous [...]

I’ve been on a green smoothie kick while trying to get back into the swing of eating raw.  This latest concoction of fruits and greens is one of the tastiest I’ve made and it features one of my favorite raw foods: young coconuts.

From its beneficial, immunity boosting lauric acid found in the soft flesh, to [...]

This smoothie was so incredibly easy.  So easy that even husband Joe commented that it was “easier than making coffee”.  And he was right!  After drinking this delicious smoothie, I didn’t even crave it, like I usually do.  Here is the recipe:
2 bananas

1 apple, sliced

2 collard green leaves

2 cups tropical frozen fruit

1 cup cold water

For [...]
