I'm sorry for the lack of posts but I've been absolutely swamped with my brother and his friend visiting from Canada. We've been busy sight-seeing and attending various events, and there hasn't been much time to cook, let alone blog. But they left today, and I promise to make up...

Ever since making my first almost raw vegan cheesecake, I've been thinking about making a key lime version. The slight coconut flavor and taste in the original recipe inspired me to put a further tropical spin on it. All I really did was swap-out the lemon juice for lots of fresh...

IMG_6155_thumb
I came across this recipe in the Jan/Feb 2011 issue of Sheila magazine. It looked so decadent, I just had to try it. The trick is to have "ripe but firm" avocados on hand when the pears are just ripe. But once you've got that under control, the actual salad...

Pretty epic title, huh? Well, it's totally true. The other day, while watching a boring movie (can't even remember the title, it was THAT bad), I was Googling vegan raw recipes on my iPhone. I was in the mood for something sweet, yet healthy, and I eventually settled on some raw...

I think it's pretty clear from my last couple posts (and overall recipes) that I love avocados. They're so rich and creamy and such a beautiful shade of green (my favorite color). If I had to eat one fruit or veggie the rest of my life, avocados would probably be...

Mango Gazpacho
Vegan MoFo #14 – Keeping with my tropical theme this week, here’s a recipe for mango gazpacho, or should I say MMMango gazpacho! It's slightly adapted from AllRecipes.com. I leave-out the jalapeno pepper and reduce the onion and garlic because I find them to be to strong in the original recipe (and...

I love the smell of fresh basil, and the best thing to make when you have a lot of fresh basil is... fresh pesto! It's great on pasta and flat bread pizza, as well as stirred into lightly stir-fried veggies. It's also awesome in minestrone soup, which I'll share in...

It’s Easy Being Green

September 30, 2010
I found a variation of this recipe in Best Health magazine a while back and kind of forgot about it until a few months ago. While I don't currently have a fancy blender, I'm able to blend everything for this pretty well with my hand-blender. This smoothie a great way...
