Rob and I have been watching a lot of movies all related to food, recently. A few weeks ago we came across Food Matters, a movie neither of us had heard of but after watching the movie trailer we had to watch it.
Food Matters was created by nutritionists, James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch. “This film will shatter the belief fed to us by modern medicine that there is ‘a pill for every ill’,” Colquhoun has said. [...]

I’ve never really listened to my body before when it came to eating, I was always listening to my mind. Since switching my diet, however, I’ve learned to differentiate between the two.

Having a raw dessert on hand can often make the difference between an ordinary meal and a great meal. Come learn how to make some delicious raw chocolate desserts, just in time for Valentines Day.
We’ve all heard that chocolate can be good for you. When I switched from a standard American diet to a raw and living food diet what I missed most was chocolate. I had heard about raw cacao, but didn’t know what to do with it. It tasted bitter and nothing like the dark chocolate that I had been missing. After experimenting with many recipes I now am able to fulfill my chocolate cravings [...]

Kelly and I watched Food Inc. for the first time the other night. The movie has been out for a little while now and seeing it, I’m surprised I hadn’t seen it sooner.
This is an amazing expose on where most of the food we eat comes from.

It’s getting chilly here, and maybe by you too. For me, that means soup season. I love raw soups. I usually just throw whatever vegetables I have in the fridge and some water into my Vita-Mix and blend up some soup. That’s great for lunch and everything, but I wanted something more flavorful when I [...]

Pomegranates are full of Vitamin C, one pomegranate contains nearly 50% of the daily value of Vitamin C. They also contain 58% of your daily value of Vitamin [...]

I love raisinettes. We always had them around our house growing up because my Mom loved them, too. Rob and I went on vacation with his family recently. I spent a week preparing raw meals to bring with us when Rob asked if I could whip up some raisinettes. “Raisinettes?” I thought. Turns out, Rob’s [...]
