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, [...]

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 [...]

I’m re-publishing this recipe, which I first posted back in March of 2009, because it is just AMAZINGly delish. One of my readers, Sue, mentioned that she frequently turns to this Banana with Hempseed Milk recipe (quick & easy, no straining required), and it reminded me of one of my all-time favorite recipes, this Vanilla, [...]

If the last recipe I posted, an amazingly juicy & satisfying ”meat substitute” out of Mushrooms, is the “Meat” in your living-foods equation, this dish is the “potatoes”… a comforting, filling, satisfying starch dish that will leave you feeling grounded and full. I love fresh, just-picked corn off the cob in recipes because it has so [...]

This is a potential life-changing, culture-changing recipe, one I wish I knew how to make back in April 2005 when I first embarked on a journey of discovery with raw and living foods. You could be a meat-eater and eat this instead of meat, and be satisfied. That is not only my own sentiment, but [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Some of my favorite moments are when I try something completely new and find it to be so tasty and satisfying that I wish I’d been eating since I was a kid. This is one of those recipes. Don’t let the monochromatic appearance fool you… this is wonderful. Traditional Greek-style seasonings — garlic, fresh mint, [...]
