So.... these past several weeks have been nothing shy of, um, wild.  In a good way.  We've been busy at work getting our house ready to go on the market.  Up until May 2nd, we were busting tail!  As soon as it sells, we are moving from AR to PA.  Wow.  Big jump, big leap of faith, but we're excited. 

Leading up to the date we'd planned on having the house officially on the market, we did a 10-day fast, consuming liquids only, primarily juices and thin smoothies.  Would rate the time…

So, my mother went into the hospital with a really bad UTI.  The infection sent her blood sugar to well over 500 which led to DKA and much more I won't even go into.  As I went to visit last night, I found myself so...heartbroken yet plagued with a sense of urgency regarding the matter.  It wasn't the first time she's been hospitalized.  Up until a couple of years ago, she could hardly stay out of them for a week or two before being back in them 2-3 weeks straight.  She used to eat TERRIBLY…

Hey there fellow 'habbers!

I was recently doing some research in matters regarding dental health and raw/vegan diets and came across some information that was totally new to me and thought it was well worth sharing. 

I've found that many people assume that it is simply the sugar and acid that wreak havoc on vegans/raw vegans' teeth.  While they may put some wear on them, that's not quite the whole picture.  I was reading about the dental health trio - Vitamin A, Vitamin D and…

So, I have been asked to teach a 3rd class at our local health food store on raw.  This year I taught Exploring Raw Cuisine (basic class on raw benefits, foods, etc.) and Live Life Raw (focused on tools, techniques and dishes for each meal).  Haven't thought of a title/headline yet.  Guess it would help to know exactly what I'm going to teach on and what sorts of dishes I'll prepare.  I was thinking I would focus on fast, lean-but-filling, and warming as it should be quite…

I am looking for some inspiration for some tasty, affordable and simple to make warming recipes for fall and winter.

 

Any suggestions?

Getting so excited!  Just had to share this!  This is an article featured in today's paper talking about the class I'm teaching this Saturday at our local health food store.  So awesome to life unfold!  I am too blessed!

I was at the gym and saw they had the olympics on. It peeked my curiosity a bit as to how many olympians were vegans/vegetarians. So many like to think people have to eat meat to be strong. I think these outstanding individuals speak to the contrary. I was impressed by the extensive list from boxers to 6 time ironwoman champion.



You may view the list I fould here:… Continue

Okay, so I know I have made mention of this several times over the recent.  I was just so stinkin' excited about it!  I just realized I never posted any of the photos of the event.  So, here they are... (The last one is of my 2 yr. old angel, Raven Elise enjoying her green juice out of a mini-wine glass.  LOVE!)…

Ok, I thought I had posted something on this topic not too long ago but since cannot find it and have recieved no notice of responses so I'm thinking something might have gone wrong there.  Not sure but am giving this another try.

 

I am, today, completing my own 11 week initiative and because of all I've been learning, I've been asked to teach a class on Raw (we're  calling it "Exploring Raw Cuisine") at the local health food store June 16th.  Perfect timing as I just came to…

Ok.  So, my husband was going to Memphis (about an hr from here) and while he was going to be there anyway, he offered to stop at Whole Foods.  So, I gave him a list, on which I had Tamari.  He told me he was in a hurry in the store and accidently got fresh turmeric, and a lot of it.  lol.  I('ve never cooked with it.  Any ideas?

Thanks to all for suggestions!
