I love rose water almost as much as I love great vanilla. Almost. And if you’re like me, and you appreciate quick & filling meals that also taste great, you’ll love this combination. Which, by the way, you can also make with either vanilla or orange blossom water instead of the rose water! *swooning on [...]
At times this is a staple in our house. It’s just so brainlessly easy to make, and so ridiculously delicious, I love having it on the table to go owith whatever else is rummaged up. Fresh papaya is so succulent and rich… like juicy butter! It’s such a wonder that it has no fat in [...]
My son Curran’s comment while tucking into a second cup of this tea with a friend: “How many pink drinks do you know that are healthy for you? …Pepto Bismol does not count!” These new Warm Live Teas that I’m making are a big hit at home, and this one is just fabulous! Gorgeously colorful, [...]
What a lovely way to wake up! This beautifully sunny glass is full of Vitamin C, whole-food fiber, and the alkalizing, energizing, soothing power of fresh aloe vera gel! Add a bit of rose water (or orange blossom water… your pick), and you’ve got a light, refreshing day-starter with a wee bit of exotic appeal. And for [...]
What a wonderfully luscious breakfast smoothie! Ridiculously creamy, extremely mild, low in sugar (you might want to add some additional sweet fruit or raw honey if you’re craving some sweet)… and slightly exotic due to the bit of Orange Blossom Water that finishes it off. What, you say… you still haven’t picked yourself up a [...]
This extremely mild, sunny-flavored smoothie is in response to two requests this week for various ways to increase Vitamin C. So add this to your list of rejuvenating, immune system- boosting, beta carotene rich raw smoothies. And just add some fresh greens to make it a Live Green Smoothie! Papaya is just tops for enhancing [...]
This is one of those smoothies that makes me wonder why in the world, when beverages like this are so easy to whip up, do most people spend their days drinking diet sodas and other drinks filled with chemicals, sugar, and high fructose corn syrup. People soooo need to learn how to whip drinks up [...]
This is the type of recipe that is so easily modifiable and so delicious, it could become all the rage in the mainstream if someone would start passing the word about it and making it for friends and family. It’s just delicately, fragrantly wonderful! You can add berries of any kind to create variety… you [...]
Maca root is something I have long-wanted to develop a recipe library for. It’s a tricky ingredient because of its pungent flavor, but its long list of wonderful health benefits quickly inspires the desire to want to take it regularly. You could just dose up on capsules, if that’s your thing. It’s not mine. I [...]
My son’s evaluation of this Live Green Smoothie: “You don’t even taste all the greens… it’s so goood!” Lately I’ve been assembling some good Kale recipes for the Newbie Set, and today I wanted to create one with significantly more fresh greens, with the idea that it might be better for someone who’s already been [...]
