The Live Green Smoothie Diet

I’m a long-time, die-hard fan of Noni Juice and have been using Tahitian Noni juice, skin cream and other products since 1997. When I first came upon the product, the company that created it was called “Morinda” (after the latin name for the fruit, Morinda citrifolia) and was only 11 months old. They sold only [...]

If you — like me — love the “high” from raw garlic (so great for your heart and immune system!), and especially if you want to jack up your body’s defenses, make sure you keep jumbo medjool dates on hand so you can whip this dressing up any time you want. This dressing is also [...]

There are no pineapples in this dressing — good news for anyone like myself whose tongue is sensitive to the acidity of foods like pineapple! Instead, apples and cold-pressed coconut oil combine to create a mild, sweetly-savory dressing that just a “blush” of garlic. Yep, garlic! Goes great with this flavor combo. I used this [...]

Oh Lordy, where has this simple recipe been all my life? Warming, comforting, mellow, meaty, juicy, enlivening, nose-runningly spicy without an uncomfortable “burn”… it was just what I needed on this day where the Jersey mountain temps are already, in mid-afternoon, beginning to make their trek down to freezing. Using “macaroni noodles” cut from fresh, [...]

It is cold here in Jersey! (Says the chica who spent the last 6 months in the mid-90s tropics…) And while I’m endeavoring to “jack up the raw” as much as possible right now, we all know that when the cold weather hits what we really want most are those warm, cozy comfort foods. Enter [...]

I’m in serious need of some nutritional restoration at the mo’. Having returned to New Jersey, I’ve been regaled with some wonderfully heart-felt hospitality on the part of dearly missed friends. Along with that has come more than a vitality-compromising share of delicious home-cooked foods and far too many bottles of delicious red wine. Not [...]

This evening I made a batch of my beloved Savoy Cabbage-Tomato-Almond Butter Chopped Salad and decided to make a kissing cousin with Kale. And between the two of them, I gorged my fill, with nothing but a fork as a side dish. No chips, no Ezekiel bread, just the two salads, a big bowl of [...]

Heavens to Betsy, did I enjoy this! For those of my readers who, like me, find salvation in savory, meaty-tasting raw/living food dishes, add this one to your list! Like this other meaty, super-satisfying mushroom recipe, which was life-changing for me and for a few others who were greatly helped by its steak-like flavor, this [...]

This recipe hearkens back to one of my favorite all-time recipes, an addictively delicious salsa or chopped salad made with Savoy Cabbage and Cherry or Grape tomatoes and raw almond butter. I have not been able to find Savoy Cabbage for many months, since moving temporarily to Florida, but zucchini is readily available, and I have [...]

If you juice up a whole pumpkin… what to do with all that juice? (My thought being, if you’re gonna do it… DO it, and create some extra juice for tomorrow from your effort today.) Here’s a great recipe for that, as berries so nicely off-set the quintessentially pumpkin flavor of the fresh juice. And pumpkin [...]
