Spiced Orange Cacao Sesame Orbs
Although I rarely seem to experience cravings for non-fruit sweets, for some reason I recently felt like making/eating something with a confectionery, bread/donut-esque consistency… Upon wandering into the kitchen & perusing my culinary arsenal, I discovered a huge mass of sesame seeds, along with a fair amount of coconut butter, cinnamon, and some other key elements. After a few moments of mad kitchen science and food processor play… Spiced orange cacao & sesame orbs were born! Ingredients 1 Tbsp...

Happy Vernal Equinox! Many thanks to everyone who voted on recipes to be posted for the first week of Spring. ☼ ❀ ✾ ❁☺ This creamy sauce was another fun bit of experimentation with Sunwarrior’s delicious vanilla protein powder, which ended up tasting as luscious as it looked. I cannot remember the last time I devoured a mountain of apples so quickly as when they were naughtily smothered in this warm salted “caramel” sauce… As promised, here is the formula I used to...

This year will mark my 23rd “veganniversary”, and also my 7th full calendar year of maintaining an entirely raw diet. Over the course of time since having begun my transition into veganism in 1990, I have periodically chosen to alter my lifestyle in various ways for different reasons (which is essentially how I evolved to eliminate gluten, refined sugar, cooked, and acid forming foods from my diet). I am not actually a devotee of the 80/10/10 LFRV (low fat raw vegan) ideology (especially not since...

Happy Lunar New Year! Since I rarely eat sweets (or post recipes for such), I thought I might mix things up a bit with a special treat for my readers. In this entry I will be combining a rare raw dessert recipe with reviews and links for some great products which are available now and should absolutely not be missed. All of the items mentioned and linked from this article are things used in the recipes, right down to the letter.

Read MoreProduct Review & Recipe: Lev’s Green Tea Kombucha
I have been a kombucha enthusiast for quite some time, and make a point of tasting just about any I encounter along the way (with the exception of those bottled in plastic). After my last semi-extended fasting adventure (2 days water, 2 days dry), I made the decision to transition slowly back into caloric intake with kombucha, organic juices, and organic fresh fruit only. What better way to break a fast than with delicious probiotic goodness? Most kombucha available on the market is made from black tea, and also...
