Change to Vegan

My good friend, Johanna, has written an amazing eBook of vegan desserts. All of these recipes are made without regular cane sugar. Instead, they are sweetened with fruit sugar from fresh, dried, and frozen fruit and berries. Agave syrup or maple syrup is also used. Agave syrup is a yummy low GI sweetener that works really well in these recipes.

All but 5 of the recipes can be made 100% raw, but if you don’t have 100% raw resources such as genuinely raw cocoa powder, you can still make them and they will taste incredible!

My family had our harvest festival yesterday.  We bought all kinds of goodies at the farmer’s market and whipped up a simple, yet delicious, feast.  The dessert was the real winner  Everyone loved it.  My kids said things like, “Mom you need to make this every day.”

One guest did not want any pie, thinking it was full of fat.  I told her it was not.  She said, “A pie is a pie.”  I said, “No, this is a raw, vegan pie – quite different.”  She took a small taste and then asked for a piece!

The best way to fill your tummy is with crunchy, raw veggies.  I love any kind of raw salad, like these.  This is so much better for you than heavy foods.  We all need to eat more raw foods.  You receive more energy from the food and do not ever feel as full and weighted down.  Salads are easy and delicious.  Buy your favorite veggies and chop them up, season them and enjoy.

My new favorite food is Raw Green Energy Soup.  We have a lovely family staying with us for awhile.  The man is from the states, the woman is from Sweden and they have a 5-year-old son.  They have introduced us to their green soup and we are loving it.  There are many variations but this is what it usually winds up looking like.
