vegan pesto with pepitas

I have to say, San Diego is full of hidden gems. It’s good to be home for a while. This past weekend, as Ryan was finishing out the 10 day master cleanse, my mom and I found ourselves poking around in the corridors of a restaurant supply store, shopping for rice noodles and fresh coconutContinue reading “vegan pesto with pepitas”

carrot ginger bisque with parsley chutney and To Cleanse or Not to Cleanse?

When we were in India, Ryan and I came up with a plan to do a juice feast or some other cleansing diet when we returned to help reset our systems and flush out any…tennants. We discussed even doing The Master Cleanse for a couple of days to really get things sorted out in there.Continue reading “carrot ginger bisque with parsley chutney and To Cleanse or Not to Cleanse?”

almond, chocolate & cherry biscotti

I’m back! 6 weeks traveling through Turkey and India: eating, drinking and breathing in as many sights, sounds, foods and flavors as possible. Although I didn’t post as much as I would have liked to while on the road, I have a backlog of notes, photos and recipes to share…in due time. My brain isContinue reading “almond, chocolate & cherry biscotti”

V-10 Juice: Hangover Helper?

I’d like to apologize for not being a super blogger lately. Although off to a good start, with no plans of slowing down, it is difficult for me in these last days of preparing for my next veggie voyage to cook, take notes, photograph food, etc. Or even to find time to write about myContinue reading “V-10 Juice: Hangover Helper?”

Thai Iced Tea with Coconut Milk

This is a quick and easy recipe and I just want to share. If you can find this tea, then you can make Thai Iced Tea exactly like you would get in a restaurant, only vegan, and so much better (if you ask me). I have seen the Thai-tea product at the Asian and IndianContinue reading “Thai Iced Tea with Coconut Milk”

Lemon-Beet Lovecakes

In the event that you are looking for a romantic, blood red cupcake recipe for everyone’s favorite Hallmark holiday, here you go. I have been hankering to make these for a while. When I sat down to look at what others have thought of in the cupcake-colored-by-beets department I was not surprised to find thatContinue reading “Lemon-Beet Lovecakes”

Gluten Free Corn Bread

It seems like corn bread recipes are a dime a dozen in the blogosphere. Here’s mine, for all it’s worth. I have made quite a few of the corn bread recipes out there, never feeling quite satisfied with the results. So I tweaked and tailored until I got this winner. I really like the wayContinue reading “Gluten Free Corn Bread”

Green Lemonade

While I am on the subject of ‘getting your greens’, here is a drink that feels and tastes like an elixir for youth and vitality. The recipe belongs to Natalia Rose, author of  “The Raw Food Detox Diet“.  This book is a great introductory read into the whys and hows of the raw food diet.Continue reading “Green Lemonade”

Viva La Green Smoothie!

There are a lot of blogs out there dedicated to the benefits of green smoothies, with good reason. Imagine eating the equivalent of an entire salad, with a whole head of lettuce or kale or spinach or chard along with the juice of 4 oranges, and a basket of strawberries and a whole mango inContinue reading “Viva La Green Smoothie!”
