80/10/10 in Santa Cruz

I moved to Santa Cruz, CA instead of Paradise! I missed the ocean and my nearest and dearest too much. I'm hoping to connect with other raw foodies in the area some time after I've settled down. And hopefully when things stabilize, I will be going back to school. But for now, it's focusing on getting situated. I'm currently working my way to an 80/10/10 diet in order to treat Crohn's Disease. I've tried other ways of eating raw and just have not been successful, so I thought I would give this o… Continue

Looking for a New Beginning

It turns out that I will need to be finding a new place to settle for a while. Circumstances have taken a turn for the overwhelming, and I keep getting messages telling me it's time to be on my own for a bit. Essentially, I've been without a room of my own for nearly 2 years, and I am an introvert. I have bigger space needs than most anyone I know, and I find that the need is so enormous, that other needs start taking a backseat to it, the longer I go without it. And the longer I go, the more di… Continue

Raw Asian Food Porn

I had a bit of an Asian inspiration the last few days, and the raw dishes were so sexy, I just had to share. Vegetable Nori Rolls with Almond Pates

Almond pates reminicent of tuna and salmon are accompanied by broccoli sprouts, red and golden bell peppers, carrot slices, cucumber ribbons, avocado, and cilantro, rolled in sheets of nori. It's been about a year since I made these… Continue

Cancer, closer

My Aunt has been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma: cancer of the blood which is in her bones, several tumors along her spine and neck, and a stage 4 cancer tumor on her lung. The doctors have given her one year to a year and a half to live, two years maximum. I went to the hosptial on Friday to see her. I haven't seen her for several years, since right before my own several-year-long healing crisis, (which I am still addressing, but am largely on the other side of). I went with my mother, to hol… Continue

Green Smoothies

I've just started drinking Green Smoothies again, while also reading Green For Life by Victoria Boutenko. The book is a great read, and I have to say that I feel this has been the missing link in my cuisine for the last year. When I first went raw, I drank a quart of these a day, and was doing great. But I did not have the book, so I did not realize the importance of rotating one's greens, as is mentioned several times throughout. I started having a very hard time and eventually, just as Victori… Continue

Raw Christmas Dinner Menu with Recipes

I decided to choose dishes from chefs I trust, with the exception of Annie Phyo, who I've never tried recipes from, but have heard nothing but good things about. Cherie Soria is a mentor of mine through Chef training at Living Light, and never lets me down. Sergei Boutenko is a good bet, as everything I've tried of his so far, I've really enjoyed. So I should be in good shape this time. (Thanksgiving was awful. I will never again try a bunch of random things from the internet. Bleh!) I also opte… Continue
