This is an adaptation from The Rawtarian for Gluten-free and Dairy-free raw bread. To me it tastes like onion rings I loved as a teenager, only healthier. I made them in a dehydrator but you could probably make them in a low-temperature oven as well.
This seems so long ago, my first raw Thanksgiving. I’ve learned so much since then, like how to use swiss chard stems in soup stock, sautéing, juicing, etc. Scroll through to the second half of the video to see some of the most beautiful wild turkeys living free and happy at the Precious Life Animal … Continue reading Raw Thanksgiving and a Vicarious Trip to a Turkey Sanctuary
Talk at Nourish Sequim
I find myself in this little town of Sequim, WA realizing how much we can do in our own communities. The internet informs me of chemtrails, GMOs, privatization of our water, and the myriad of other concerns facing us today. While all that’s true and at times overwhelming, I find inspiration when I give these talks and see good-hearted people show up to take back their lives. Someone once gave the advice to avoid inactionable news. That is, watching events on mainstream media that are played over and over to instill fear.
Finding the balance of being aware on a global level and taking action on the the circumstances within my control keeps me sane. What I can do is buy organic, plant-based food from local farmers, keep my immune system strong by listening to healing music and centering myself with daily yoga.
People like those who showed up last night remind me there’s an undercurrent of change happening with individuals who care about not only about themselves but the greater good of mankind. We all have it in us. To know in our bones that we matter – that the consequences of our choices ripple out to our neighbors brings us together for a stronger collective voice.

Raw Vegan Talk at Nash’s Organic Produce
I moved to Sequim, WA just in time for the fresh strawberries. There’s something about the soil here that makes the produce out-of-this-world delicious. It gives me satisfaction to know I’m supporting the local, organic farmers and people in the community who want to take responsibility for their own health.
In this talk you’ll learn how we got to the current system of chemicalized, convenient foods, the benefits of a raw food diet and how to successfully go through the change that comes when you shift your diet away from the Standard American Diet (SAD).
Leave your comments and share the information with your friends or family who want to include more raw foods in their diet. A complete 5-week, online course begins August 1, 2013.

A couple people in this raw food class talked about the difficulties in staying raw in this society. When one person was detoxing, a nurse advised her that raw food was unhealthy. The woman giving her this advise was overweight and a smoker. I wonder where this nurse got her information. That’s an important distinction. … Continue reading Social Justice and Vegan Food
One of these participants stayed after class and told me about her recent trip to Africa. Spending time with animals made her realize how each of them contributed to the earth, like vultures eating dead animals no one else wants. It got me thinking how slugs naturally gravitate to and consume my dog’s poop. Wild … Continue reading Earth day, Raw food and Human Contribution
Eating healthy food takes some forethought. Sure you can grab an apple when you get hungry, but how about when you get home from work and you want a meal? One woman in this class said it was just too hard to come home from work and think about cutting up vegetables and everything else … Continue reading Preparing Raw Food Before You’re Hungry
One woman in this class was especially interested in how to make nut milks in the soyabella machine from Tribest. I love mine and was happy to share with the group just how easy it is to make. Here’s a video so you can see too.
Embarrassingly simple! This was the first class I demonstrated how to make a raw chocolate cake. I called up a volunteer. Two of them came up. It was as simple as dumping in the 3 ingredients, pushing a button on the food processor, then giving each participant a sample. Here’s a video of a gourmet … Continue reading Dairy-free, Gluten-free Chocolate Cake!
