Smokin’ Raw Chili Chill Chaser
I just finished eating this raw chili for lunch for the second day in a row. The first day I ate it at room temperature and all the spices and chile peppers gave me all the heat I needed. But today, after coming in from a very snowy day, I heated it up for an hour in the dehydrator. After it had spent the night in the fridge it needed the chill taken off as much as I did! This is not verboten. That’s what the dehydrator is for: making sure those enzymes stay intact and you still get to have something warm when it strikes your fancy. In the…
Wild Rice and Oat Raw Porridge
Those who live in exotic and tropical locales have it made when it comes to adopting a raw diet. It’s a lot easier when fresh fruit is virtually dripping from trees and the markets are overflowing with all manner of produce. We ‘peons’ of colder climes have never even seen some of that stuff.

Happiness is a Loaded Smoothie
Raw Vegan Replacement Therapy… A Smoothie? My first tentative dip into the raw vegan pool was through the process of substitution. A raw green smoothie displaced my usual breakfast – typically something that I would grab off the Bed and Breakfast table after my guests were done eating. I was literally like a dog waiting for scraps. A piece of frittata?! A heel of cinnamon toast!? Give it to me! Now! Hell, I was a one-woman’ ravaging horde – the poster child for the Importance of Eating a Good Breakfast! Leaving my house so early in the morning to prepare food for other people, I would hardly have time to…
