The Live Green Smoothie Diet

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, [...]

I just love fresh, jumbo Medjool dates. Not when ground up and mixed into nut balls or energy bars… blech. In fact, I loathe those sorts of things, where the almost-juicy quality of the dates is destroyed by over-processing. No, dates are best enjoyed whole, where their lovely succulence can be enjoyed full-on. I’ve said [...]

This low-fat dressing is made rich and creamy with… fresh corn off the cob! You’d never know. In addition, while one of the things I have never liked about most fruity vinaigrette salad dressings is that they are too tart, and certainly destroy the ability to enjoy a glass of wine with your salad (which [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The theme of pairing watermelon with tomato continues. I’m a big one for having multiple options for similar ingredients, because there’s a lot to be said for getting into a groove of having a consistent family of ingredients in the house at any given time. You just gotta know what to do with them so [...]

If you’re not a drinker, no worries… this is a GREAT combination to enjoy without alcohol! Just wonderful! There is no tangerine in this delicious martini cocktail, but it tastes like pure tangerine. Made of fresh cantaloupe juice with Meyer lemons and fresh orange juice, this cocktail does not taste like cantaloupe in the least! [...]

Lately I’ve been exploring the surprising versatility of raw zucchini. When I discovered that it is neutral-tasting and rather creamifying in raw smoothies, I thought it might make a very nice salad dressing. And I was right! You could even use this as you would mayonnaise, in a salad sandwich. Here is an excellent base [...]

This milky dressing is light and nicely flavored with fresh garlic and olive oil to stand up to any ingredients you’d like to toss in. Paired very simply with fresh finely-chopped kale and hothouse cucumbers, anything would work in this dish: olive, red peppers, red onion, and pine nuts come to mind as great suggestions. [...]

Pickles are great. So many uses — by themselves, in or with a Salad Sandwich, on the appetizer or dinner table, to munch on with raw, dehydrated flatbreads… as a garnish or condiment off-setting your main course… chopped up in your “raw vegan tuna” avo-sprout sandwich filling… it just goes on and on. I already [...]

  • Angela Leeds: When I put these in the oven, it is only for a few minutes and they never reach temps above 118-120. The plate should remain comfortable to the touch,
