A green juice is living energy. The purpose of a juicer is to break down the vegetables, extract the pulp from the juice and leave you with pure and vital nutrition. The body doesn't exert it's own energy to break down the vegetables, it's already done. Instead, the body absorbs pure nutrition immediately. The body is nourished, so you feel more satisfied, less hungry, you have more energy and are

Homemade dye worked! Didn’t get a good red color, though. Trying some beet right now. For the yellow I used turmeric powder, the blues I used frozen blueberries and what was supposed be red came from rosebud and hibiscus tea. I tried to mix them, but the more you do that, you just get dark blue. The green was from putting the egg in turmeric first then for a minute or so in the blueberry. There is 1 tbsp of vinegar in each cup of dye. Shined them afterward with coconut oil.
Going to try and make some “natural” Easter egg dye! 👍
“Food Science” class with a young kid results in ... cookies. This is NOT a healthy version 😣. I made some alterations to the recipe, but they are still good! The nutrition info provided by the recipe per cookie is: 285 cal; 13.9 g fat; 40.1 g carb; 111 mg sodium; 2.8 g protein; 111 g cholesterol. So more than 2 cookies and it’s time for a heart attack. Quarantine comfort food ❤️
...and then there are the times when you just have to go for it! Wow!! These are amazing! Here’s a link to show you how:

My batter, leftover applesauce and the first batch fresh out of the oven!!!
Officially the best vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe I have found on the internet so far. 2nd time making them and they are just as good as I remember.

Oh, I didn’t have applesauce, so I just made my own by cooking a peeled apple on the stove until soft and mashing it.
These easy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies are thick, chewy, and loaded with gooey chocolate. No one will guess they're vegan!
It's been 10,000 years since I posted something...time to get back into the groove. So, having to do with all things healthy, I just saw this for sale on my favourite site for healthy stuff: https://en.unlimitedhealth.nl/sale/droogoven-dehydrator-4-tray-zwart-star.html.
This is the one I use/bought (actually from this place). I prefer one with a timer, which is also on sale, but I have this one.

Raw vegan pizza!!!
The raw vegan's countertop....
Kale chips time!!! Thanks for the kale seeds Crystal! Even after all these years, I'm still growing kale from your seeds!
My life as a raw vegan has hit the reset button!!!!! After 5 yrs I'm going back...a bit more gentle this time....to this eating lifestyle. I'm sure there will be days or weeks of only 90%, but it's ok. After only 10 days, I am already beginning to feel the same shifts I did when I first went through the transformation back in 2007. I'm excited to actually feel my body again and feel awake! After fighting EBV for a year, I'm ready to be awake :))) and by the way... this juicer IS THE HOLY GRAIL!!!!!!!
I even have stuff growing in the corners...
Favorite, easy, go-to dinner when all you have are scraps!!
Wow...celery actually does regrow if you put the cut end in water!! And that stuff in the middle is the first try for red clover sprouts!
The onion "bread" isn't lasting long! It came out of the dehydrator today and is now a true veggie burger! I made some kind of "mock nacho cheese" sauce that I usually use for kale chips. Yum!! It all worked pretty well together :)
...Kaya has been listening to "Crying Lightening" by The Arctic Momjeys (??? Damn autocorrect...Monkeys!!!) non-stop for days...talk about foreshadowing...these onions are killing me right now!!
Finally diving into Matt Amsden's "un-cook"book Rawvolution! First stop...the Famous Onion "Bread"!! I can't wait to eat this!!!
Little project! ....sunflower greens and wheat grass.... I think it's successful!! Yippee!!

This is really cool! I usually just drop it in the blender when making shakes, but this is another way to use and get the benefits from the avocado pit! I'm going to try this!

This was a good read....a week ago David Wolf also had posted something about a facial cleanser with coconut oil...It was basically equal parts coconut oil and baking soda for a good scrub (less baking soda if you feel it's too much). Well, I've used it for about 4 days and it's amazing! After you rinse your face, you go into a panic because it feels like you've rubbed grease on your skin, but don't fear! Just dry with a towel and watch the magic!!! It soaks in and you're left with this amazing glow and your skin looks like you just came from facial costing 100 bucks! Here's 10,000 other good uses....
I make sure to buy raw/organic type stuff.

This is like dinner for The Hulk or something....was craving this! So, that quinoa salad is SO good!! I remember when I used to go to PCC market in Fremont (Seattle) and get that stuff a few times a week. LOVED IT!!! But since Fremont is a bit far away now....have to make it myself!
-about 3/4 cup red quinoa, cooked and cooled if you like
-a generous handfull of parsley- chopped
-handful each of chopped/cubed tomatoes and cucumber
-some finely diced red onions...as much as you like for taste, I used maybe a pinky thin slice and diced it up.
-1 lime....cut it in half...take 1 half, stick a fork in it and squeeze and twist until all the juice comes out. Do the same with the other half.
-small handful of chopped good strong mint leaves...the fresh stuff!
-sea salt to taste.
Stir it all up and devour!!!! It is SO good!!
The kale salad was also SO good because I used that walnut oil.....pity is that I realised while I was eating it that the walnuts in that oil are roasted first. Damn! Have to find another one where they don't do that.
ok, so what the hell is this? Breakfast!! 4-5 different fruits topped with a big spoonful of: chia seeds & h**p seeds....a sprinkling of bee pollen and a more generous sprinkling of raw cacao powder. Then drizzle with homemade elderberry syrup and maybe some real maple syrup (not that Log Cabin stuff...). Yum!!
Holy chocolate balls! These are SO good! double the raw cacao, use walnuts and be a little bit more generous with the dates and dip the top of your balls in a little bit of natural maple syrup before putting on the toppings. I used h**p seeds, shredded coconut and chia seeds. http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/raw-chocolate-energy-bites/
As much as I love decadent desserts, sometimes its nice to make nutritious treats that can serve as quick, energy-boosting snacks. These raw chocolate energy bites may look decadent, but they are packed with natural protein from the nuts/seeds, natural carbohydrates from the dates, and antioxidants…
I made a detox juice yesterday and it was amazing!!! Usually you don't mix vegetables with fruit (exceptions of course), but this beet/green apple/ginger/pineapple concoction was really good! I used a whole beet and a whole fresh pineapple. Bummer that my beets didn't have the greens attached...oh well. I thought beet and pineapple would be upsetting in the guts, but NOPE. So this one stays in the rotation.
I was doing research for an upcoming Juice Workshop and found this recipe (from justjuice.org) that I thought is great for this time of year because kale is in season here and it's SO nutritious. Give it a shot!
KALE WHALE
1 cup kale
1 cucumber
1 apple (wasn't specified, but I would go with green)
1/2 bunch of parsley
3 carrots
Kale whale is the perfect green juice recipe for beginners. It’s chock full of chlorophyll – one of the main benefits of green juices – without any of the bitterness that usually comes with green juices. Apples and carrots sweeten this juice so that the end result is a refreshing, fresh, and pleasantly sweet superdrink!
Well....since the "tortillas" we're kind of a bust due to my having dehydrated them too late at night and not turning them over at the right time, so they ended up more like a cracker, I decided to see if I could use them for breakfast....Yummy!!!! It was NOT a total bust, rather a super breakfast "tostada"!! I made a mixture of raw cacao/agave/maple syrup to create a raw choc spread and did the same with spirulina powder to drizzle over the top. After my morning yoga I filled up on 3 of these and it was SO good!!
Going to turn this into tortillas! Fast forward 1 day.....I learned that you must be really present for flipping these things over or you have tostadas :-/
Time to eat!! Smakelijk! ;) (that means "enjoy" basically...)
Doin' it fast and easy tonight with a veggie nori wrap with my leftover pesto from the pasta!! YUM! Raw, vegan and nothing wasted! What's in my wrap? Organic/bio spinach, salad lettuce from a local farm (it's called "eikenblad sla" here), carrots, avocado, leftover basil pesto, leftover avocado, leftover Kalamata olives, cucumber, h**p seeds and a good spritz of lime!!
Zucchini "pasta" with basil pesto (cashew base because I didn't have pine nuts). The basil is from my garden and is really strong making this have a pretty deep taste. It turned out really good. Topped with some Kalamata olives and tomatoes the flavour kind of rounds out pretty good. Recipe for the pesto to follow!
Crackers are back!! Here is how I will cut bread back out of my life!
These 2 things alone will change your life!!
