Mmmm, I love fresh salsa, and this is my new favorite. I love anything with cilantro, and this salsa has plenty of it. Maybe I should call this “Cilantro Mango Tomatillo Salsa”? Nah.

This smoothie is made with Organic Chocolate flavored Nutiva HempShake, but you can also use carob or cocoa powder to make a somewhat similar drink. The hempshake powder adds raw plant protein (which is supposed to be easier to digest than protein from animal sources), omega-3 essential fatty acids, 9 essential amino acids, and a [...]

My mom is staying with us right now, which means I have a shopping and swimming partner, a helper in the kitchen, and a beautifully freckled hand and arm model. Thanks, Mom. I decided to experiment with making some non-dairy, fresh, healthy, and hopefully yum-o-licious ice cream, and it turned out quite tasty. But…I don’t [...]

If you’re a fan of pudding, but you’re not a fan of dairy, this recipe will make you sing. I absolutely love it, and I started choosing where to buy groceries (almost) solely based on whether or not they carry young Thai coconuts.

This recipe was pie-shaped to begin with, based on the recipe "Dark Chocolate Ganache Tart" from the book Raw Food Real World. But, as soon as we tasted it, I turned them into smaller "bites," because they are so RICH. Here's how you can make them for yourself:
