    Blueberry Lemon Pie

    June 17, 2021 /

    Sometimes you walk into a market and your eyes spot something so beautiful, so enticing, you know you have to have them. Baskets of gigantic blueberries were staring back at me and I knew this was my opportunity to make my favorite, blueberry lemon pie. How these huge, luscious blueberries survived my snacking long enough to make it into this pie is the real mystery here. This is a take on my friend Gretchen’s mother’s blueberry pie recipe. Cooked, the challenge as always is…will the fruit be soft enough to be called a pie. It’s easy to just throw fruit into a crust, which you most certainly can do, but…

    Apple Pear Cardamom Tart

    February 7, 2021 /

    What is it about winter nights by the fire that always gets me yearning for something comforting and warm like apple pie with cinnamon? And maybe a dollop of whipped cream? When I mentioned this at home one evening, everyone got really excited – as they generally do whenever I bring up the prospect of making something sweet. I only wish I’d get such an enthusiastic response to making a new salad! Instead of plain old apple pie, however, I remembered something I created years ago for an especially large Thanksgiving celebration: an Apple Pear Cardamom Tart. That tart lasted all of 5 minutes…I kid you not. Of course, that…

    Mexican Chocolate Thumb Cookies

    January 21, 2021 /

    Chilly days in Northern New Mexico calls for some warming desserts. Since this is a raw site, heat is sometimes sought out in other ways. I’m a big fan of Mexican chocolate. Generally I would make a hot cocoa, well, almost hot, but I have to admit it gets a little annoying trying to keep the temp exactly right. Marie made these yummy coconut-y thumb cookies at Christmas time, they were simple but not quite the…holy cow we need to make these again. I made Mexican chocolate cookies around that time too, but they were a little flat and needed a bigger kick. So I decided to make them again…

    Oatmeal Super Antioxidant Bites

    August 12, 2020 /

    Oatmeal is a quick and easy go to option for a nutritious breakfast, but it can also be the most fun. Pairing deliciously with just about any fruit, seed or nut, you can create your own wonderful combination to fit your lifestyle needs. Oatmeal is a naturally gluten free option that isn’t just for breakfast anymore. The first flavor I experimented with was “Nutella”. The scent of hazelnuts and chocolate transports me to my cousin Vita’s house on Staten Island. She would give us all a spoonful of the creamy spread and we would go outside on the stoop and eat our treat. Our chocolate hazelnut bite is a healthy…

About This Site

Hello and Welcome! I’m Marie and I’ve been some version of Raw Vegan for the last 18 years… never mind the fact that I’ve managed to drag my entire family along on this ride with me! Truth be told: they barely even knew they were coming!

You – yes, you – can do this too!  But Let’s Get Practical! For most of us, it’s hard to eat Raw all day, every day. Especially if you live in a less than tropical climate. Or perhaps – like me- you’ve got a significant other… or maybe a tribe of ‘others’, who make 100% raw seem like sci-fi fantasy?

We all know that getting as much whole, living, raw vegan food into ourselves is a recipe for health and vibrancy! So why not make it easy and just eat raw for part of the day? Whether you use this as an avenue into an exclusively vegan diet or would never consider completely saying goodbye to meat, eating Raw till Four will guarantee that you’re ingesting fewer processed foods, less animal products and more of what’s actually good for you and your loved ones!

So come on and Get Raw…Practically.
