Adventures in Raw Food

This butternut squash and mango soup is a riff on Juliano’s orginal recipe. It is delicious, easy and fast to make, and surprisingly creamy!

This combination of raw juice – apple, chard and kiwi – sounds as it might be ok – maybe even tolerable – but in fact it is delicious, and loaded with good nutrition!

This green smoothie recipe is easy, easy, easy, and mild!

This raw cereal recipe is incredibly easy to make, and such a great way to start the day! And it’s yummy, too!

It’s one of the latest fads – portabella mushrooms for sandwiches. Portabella mushrooms are delicious, and a great source of vegetarian protein. But how do you do portabella mushrooms raw?

We had these raw food crepes for dessert last night, and wow they were good! And there is something about eating this kind of dessert where the fruit still tastes like it is supposed to, rather than having been cooked into some sort of goo, that is just wonderful.

If you have a Vita-Mix and are short on time – or just dipping your toe in the water of juicing – then those bagged, prewashed organic baby carrots are just the thing!

This is a really simple, and amazingly tasty and refreshing side dish. You can use all of the summer squash for these, but I like to make them with just the necks, and use the rest of the summer squash for Annie’s Stuffed Summer Squash.

It turns out that if you slice a summer squash in half, length-wise, and cut off the crook neck (reserve the neck to make yummy, refreshing marinated squash rounds!), you can scoop out the seed section, and have perfect little “boat” to fill with stuffing and let cure in your dehydrator!

I created this recipe for Thai Spring Coconut Noodles with Spicy Peanut Sauce for dinner tonight, and it was great! It’s tasty tasty, and very satisfying!
