Of course, we don’t lay tomato slices out in the sun to dehydrate. We use our Excalibur dehydrator. But they are truly pure sweetness and add a gourmet taste to any meal.

I am working on eating 70% raw, and as I cannot eat wheat, these English Muffins are the perfect thing for me and my diet.
A healthy way to add protein and fiber to your diet - as a bread replacement.
If you need to reduce to stay away from gluten or eat 70% raw foods and you are looking for options in preparing pizza and other foods that you normally serve with bread, here is one option… raw zucchini pillows.

I am finally feeling better, after several weeks of being really sick. Now I am back to food prep “with a vengeance,” (says my husband). Last night, raw spaghetti (details to follow). This morning, tempeh and veggies.

It has been stormy here, a perfect time to spend lots of time in the kitchen. We have been cooking up our own little wonderful storm. Today: Smoothie for breakfast with homegrown organic arasaw, maracuya and mango. Grilled veggies with fresh bread for lunch. We marinated mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes and radicchio in olive oil, balsamic vinegar and Italian herbs for about 5 minutes, then grilled for about 5 minutes and served with fresh, homemade bread. This is an amazing quick meal! Roasted vegetable soup for dinner. Yesterday: Tempeh burritos for lunch. Tofu scramble for breakfast. Homemade gnocchi with coconut basil sauce for dinner. When the sun comes back out, we will play outside more and cook less. But we have sure eaten well these last few rainy days.
I am reading the book, Raw Food Real World by Matthew Kenney and Sarma Melngailis.

Sometimes you just need some spice in your life. Mexican food is one of my cravings. So, last night we had some bean and potato burritos smothered in New Mexico red chili sauce and guacamole. (This morning we finished them off for breakfast.)

Last night we feasted on risotto. Risotto is a traditional Italian rice dish. It is the most common way of cooking rice in Italy.
If you have never tried cooking risotto, you should. It is easy. But there are a few important things you must remember…
Last night we had some homemade foccacia topped with garlic and rosemary, served with baba bhanouj, bruschetta and polenta with homemade sundried tomatoes, garlic and pine nuts. It was a lovely and tasty spread.
