Raw Food Chronicle

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

When I was transitioning to a mostly raw, living food diet I always wondered, ‘What are people who say they are raw vegans really eating every day? I mean, I know what they say they are eating, but if I were a fly on the wall, what would I actually see these people eating.’ So, […]

How to Peel an Orange

Monday, December 10th, 2007

I was talking with a friend recently about our mostly raw food diet and somehow we got on the subject of eating oranges. Oranges are so delicious, but they can be awfully messy. Here in America most kids grow up learning to eat that big navel orange they get in their Christmas stocking by peeling […]

Eliminate the White this Christmas

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

There are so many events this time of year where we will be assaulted with the white stuff - I’m talking white sugar and flour specifically. For those of you who have courageously eliminated this poison from your diet, you may be tempted to indulge (I know I am). So what can a mostly raw […]

Deep Breathing for Good Health

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

Yesterday a client came in to my office exclaiming how wonderful he felt since he had been making it a point to go outside daily for a breath of fresh air. Getting oxygenated is necessary for great health.
Think about how important oxygen is - without it we die. Oxygen is carried in the blood to […]

A Picture Of Our Home Garden

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

With the high cost of produce and because we want to use our land wisely we decided to start a small garden several weeks ago. Mind you, when I say small I mean small (3′ x 15′), but it is actually an experiment for a much larger garden possibly in the spring or later.
Jean mentioned […]

Think Globally, Act Locally

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

One of the passions of our heart is to share with as many people as possible the good news about living food. Some of the effective ways to date that we have shared our passion is through developing a web site, starting a blog, recording podcasts and even developing a vegan meal planner to help […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Recipe

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

Walking through the grocery store one day I saw a food magazine in the check out line. The picture on the cover was of a chocolate peanut butter pie - formerly Alan’s favorite. Food magazines are great inspiration for new living and whole food recipes. My brain immediately went to work…how can this old favorite pie […]

Bizarro’s - A Poor Choice for Lunch

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

In general people seem to have this idea that eating healthy means eating bland, unsatisfying fare. Nothing could be further from the truth. Transitioning to a mostly living, whole food vegan lifestyle has never been so satisfying, energizing and healing.
This point really hit home yesterday when Alan and I got a screw in our tire […]
