Jerk Watermelon “Steak” on Sesame “Fried” Rice
Watermelon “steak”? Okay, I know it sounds weird. I can’t begin to tell you how absolutely delicious this is. For those of you who haven’t tried any type of dehydrated or cooked watermelon, make a point to try this ridiculously easy and tasty dish. When I first saw this on a British cooking show I was quick to look it up. I couldn’t find a raw recipe so like everything else, I adapted it. At first I tried making it in the oven. I wanted to see how the heat changed the structure of the watermelon. At different stages, the texture changed and I realized that doing this as a…
Blueberry Peach Cobbler
This recipe did not start out as a cobbler, it started out as a mini pie. I didn’t have the right pan, so I had to adapt it. As I contemplated the flavor profiles, I thought I would make the first attempt simple. I started out thinking blueberry. The local farmer’s market had blueberries, but when I first walked in, the fabulous aroma of peach hit me like a brick. Choosing the right fruit makes all the difference in the world. Blueberries should be almost hard and give off a mild scent. Choose a peach with a more reddish color than yellow. The closer the red is to the stem,…

“Bacon” Wrapped Stuffed Dates
Many moons ago when Marie’s kids were younger, they came to visit me in California. We went for tapas and they served this absolutely delicious dish of sausage stuffed dates wrapped in bacon. Now that we are keeping mainly raw and vegan we thought this morsel was out of our lives forever. Silly us, all we had to do is wait for Marie to make her raw mushroom sausage and viola! When I was experimenting and made the coconut bacon I also experimented with rice paper. It came out great, but wasn’t right for the recipe I originally made it for. The coconut wasn’t right for these stuffed dates because…

Brussel Sprout Slaw with Lemon Thyme
We have a very small farmer’s market not too far from the farm. There are only 6 vendors, but every week these lovely people set up their tables in hopes of selling their wonderful produce. We try to support all our local growers when we aren’t growing something ourselves (like the lemon thyme in this recipe). This week a vendor who I have been buying from pretty consistently had brussel sprouts. I know many of you don’t like brussel sprouts. It’s a shame that you might have some childhood trauma from poor recipes. Or maybe you were forced to eat them as a kid. I’m here to tell you, give…
Jalapeno Cheese Stuffed Poppers with ‘Bacon’
Healthy raw vegan snacks and treats don’t have to be boring. And there’s no reason why you can’t adapt all your favorites. Sure, there are things that just seem impossible, but I’m here to tell you, that’s not true. Every recipe can be adapted. Sure, it might not be exactly the same, but sometimes it’s more about flavor profiles that an exact replica. Take these jalapeno poppers, for instance. Usually breaded, fried and full of animal products, our jalapeno poppers are the beyond healthy alternative to the calorie laden variety we’re used to. I guarantee you won’t miss the old poppers with these yummy little treats. For anyone that worries…
