Oh for a bit of jalapeño and a handful of cilantro! They would make this salad just over-the-top yummy, yet my fridge was bare of these two staples. Even so… I mangia-ed this entire recipe for my dinner and it was wonderfully satisfying! Crunchy, juicy, sweet, with some of the comforting squoosh from the bananas [...]

Ho ho ho, this is great. If you are like me and crave rich, satisfying, savory, even “meaty” meals (tho they be raw and enlivening), things you can eat with a fork and not need anything else to round out the meal, this is it. Similar to yesterday’s recipe, another “Caesar” salad concoction, this one [...]

And don’t miss checking out this recipe for a Mushroom “Caesar” Salad, one of the best recipes on this whole site, IMHO. Yah, okay… so there’s no egg in this. And no parm. And no anchovy. And there’s tomato in it. But believe me when I tell you, if you love Caesar Salads, you’ll love [...]

Had a bit of interruption in my own LGS Challenge… first Memorial Day, on which I decided to just go with the flow with family grilling and other traditions, so it was a day off from the Challenge. Then I spent Days 10, 11, and 12 staying respectfully raw considering there were few, if any, LGSs [...]

Am currently working on creating some good breakfast recipes with crunch and texture, to redirect my morning inclination for bready things. This dish, with the satisfying crunch of raw cacao nibs combined with a creamy fudge pudding, works for me. And… it’s not too sweet. Just a bit. Would make a nice light supper as [...]

I LOVE this dish. At the whole thing, with a fork, no chips, no nothin’ on the side, just this straight-up for my main meal of the day, and it just rocked. Didn’t share a morsel with anyone! I’m famous for needing crunchy side things to feel satisfied when I’m eating very high-raw, but I [...]

Chalk another one up for iceberg lettuce! Here, good ole Utterly Pedestrian but high-water-content, cooling, and very refreshing Iceberg Lettuce is used the way cabbage would be, in a “coleslaw”, which in this case is made with fresh basil, garlic, lemon, and olive oil. You could leave the olive oil out if you want to [...]

Okay, so this isn’t really a “pie” in the sense that there’s a crunchy or flaky crust filled with something… but this is a fresh version you can make on-the-spot, with zero dehydration, and it is all raw, all living… and absolutely scrumptious. When I made this, I thought I was full and didn’t have [...]

It’s hot out and you want a light but filling and nutritious meal? This is a great summer cooler-offer. I’m a big fan of nutritious ice creams, and this is a good one. Like a very lemony sorbet with some fresh fennel greens… and made creamy with baby zucchini, which you would never, ever know [...]

This recipe is a basic one to enjoy as-is (it’s delicious and so easy!), or you can add whatever your favorite little extras you’d like, such as chopped sweet red pepper, fresh herbs, fresh corn off the cob, or jalapeno and cilantro. It’s so versatile, very mellow and comforting, and when the weather is cold [...]
