    Spinach Dip with Rye Bread

    June 22, 2021 /

    I’m a snacker and I come from a whole line of snackers. When Marie and I go out shopping or wherever, we are more apt to snack or get a selection of appetizers than to eat a full meal. So when I saw the spinach dip in the grocery store on our last foray into town, I reached for it. Then I read the label and reminded myself that it contains dairy and back on the shelf it went. I am not a big consumer of spinach dip. As an Italian I’ve always prefered my spinach in garlic and oil and heaped on some delicious Italian bread and sprinkled with…

    Jalapeno Cheese Stuffed Poppers with ‘Bacon’

    August 19, 2020 /

    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…

    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…

    Spiced Tropical Fruit Chips

    July 28, 2020 /

    Not everyone who is raw or vegan can turn to nuts as a snack, and those that can, should probably think twice: a lot of alternatives are nut-based too! So what are we to do when we are craving something savory? Turn everything into a chip! So, we did just that. Well, maybe not everything, but damn if we haven’t tried. And what we did we get? Chips that are good for you and taste great too! The main fruits we used to make the chips are: watermelon, pineapple, mango, coconut, strawberries, oranges, bananas, plantains, apples and pears. It seems like we have a tropical theme going on, but, not…

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.
