Red Deviled Tomatoes
Deviled eggs were a perrenial favorite once upon a ‘not vegan’. I remember seeing them every time I went to any kind of event, whether it was a fancy grown-up function or a some parent/teacher get together at my kid’s school. But, in an effort to remove animal products from our picture, the deviled egg went to the wayside too. So, how do we get that deviled taste without the egg? How did we possibly come to deviled tomatoes? The answer to the whole conundrum came to me in a shape. The Roma tomato is kind of egg-shaped isn’t it? I actually do have to ask you this question since…
Fennel Lemon Spring Rolls
I don’t know about you but when summer comes, I lose all desire for heavy food. Being new to the raw food diet, I have found myself eating the same portion sizes and still being hungry after. This is common. So my challenge has been to make myself meals that are filling, but don’t leave me feeling like I swallowed a hunk of granite.

Plus it tastes good and it’s one of those healthy veggies that even most kids don’t turn up their noses at. That makes it a go-to in my house at all times! Broccoli at the Fairgrounds… The very first time I really made this recipe was years ago when I joined forces with three other raw afficionados to set up a booth for a fair in Santa Fe, NM, where I live. I honestly don’t know where our heads were. Somehow we believed that we could successfully bring raw food into the fairground! As if…! The moment…
Zucchini Hummus: Full Power
Zucchini is often thought of as a vegetable but, in actuality, it qualifies as a fruit: the ripened ovary of a flowering plant, complete with seeds (there’s a bit of trivia for you)! Zucchini is antioxidant rich and is 95% water – so it’s one of those raw foods that ranks high when it comes to keeping your body hydrated and ‘flushed’! This, in combination with Vitamin C and riboflavin, makes this fruit an excellent aid in the production of collagen, promoting healthier, younger looking skin – something we all want no matter how old we are! You can put zucchini slices on your eyes to prevent puffiness too! It’s…
