Raw Fusion, Vegan, Gluten/Grain-Free, Paleo-Friendly When I first heard about “sweet potato toast” from a raw foods colleague, I was super intrigued. One of my weak spots in maintaining a raw fusion (50% and higher raw on a daily basis) is my love affair with toast and butter. But I am finally at the point […]

Omega Boost Grain-Free Muffins
Vegetarian & Vegan Versions – Paleo-Friendly I don’t eat as much much raw food as I did back when I was healing from my auto-immune disorder, but I have been paying a lot of attention lately to my digestion, which frankly needs some adjusting. Something that I have definitely pinpointed is that grains aggravate symptoms […]
Pass the Paté , Pretty Please

Prounouced “pah-tay”, they are loaded with protein, good fats and have the unctuousness of something very rich and satisfying. They are also very filling — if you are trying to eat more raw and living foods, but find yourself getting hungry […]

I was intrigued enough to consider trying the recipe but had the inspiration to add some pumpkin as […]

Our yearly “Pumpkin Palooza” newsletter showcases the new recipes as well as the tried and true standards — here’s a link to last year’s as I am still working on this […]
Summer Breeze Sweet and Sour Cucumber Noodles
Soothing Summer Fare Raw and Raw Fusion Versions It’s already so hot here in Tampa that I am not inclined to do a lot of heat-based cooking these days. Cucumbers are probably my number one “go-to” vegetable. Sometimes when I am not in the mood to make a whole salad, I will slice up some […]
Fava Bean Hummus with “Garden Variety” Flax Hempseed Crackers
Raw Fusion Sunday Brunch I hosted a brunch on Sunday with a couple of my local Natural Wellness Academy coaching candidates. Currently I am working on 4 new books: One of them is about anti-aging and how the “Blue Zone” diets, based more on the Mediterranean style of eating has been continuously shown to have […]
