These cookies are good, but this project made a gigantic mess—which is partly because of the nature of my 6 year-old helper, and partly because the “dough” is very crumbly until you form it into cookies. If you like oatmeal cookies (and especially if you like your cookies on the doughier side—or if you’re like …
This smoothie is packed with great things and it tastes amazingly good—I swear! In the end, it turns out as sort of a light green with pink specks. Grape seeds: Antiallergenic, antioxidant, anti-histamine, anti-inflammtory, anti-stress….plus a blood vessel, bone builder, and improves blood flow! Watercress: High in vitamins B6, B1, B2, E, C, manganese, fiber, …
I had a rough time deciding what to name this post because of a conversation I had with a friend yesterday. We discussed how there is a level of contradiction in the way we name our healthy raw and pure foods as a vague reference/comparison to unhealthy Standard American Diet (SAD) counterparts.

I followed it exactly except I used Golden Hunza raisins instead of Thompson raisins. Blend first (blender or food …
Nuts. An interesting, yet slightly confusing topic. If I sent you to the store to purchase some nuts, what would you buy? Roasted, Salted Peanuts? Tamari Almonds? Cashews? Trail Mix? There are many options in the grocery store, and many different brands to choose from. There are also several important things I’ve learned about nuts …
Kristina and I packed our lunch today—-It was spaghetti with marinara sauce and garlic bread…..kinda.

We really wanted …
