Raw Sauerkraut Brownies – Recipe Revisit

Recently I’ve been thinking about preferences and popularity. Raw foods. Paleo foods. Fermented foods. Desserts. Brownies. Sauerkraut. Not for myself ~ don’t get me wrong, I liked to be liked just as much as the next gal ~ but in terms of food. What do people most prefer? What types of foods are the most…

Almost Almond Butter

We all know how much I adore almond butter. I heavily indulge in this item of decadence on a daily basis. Heavily. So, while living abroad for close to a month, you can imagine how much my heart longed for this small (or somewhat large) item in my ritual consumption and routine. I searched high…

Cool as a Cucumber Salad

Yes, it’s October and it is certainly cooling down. The air is brisk and I notice a bite to the air on my morning walks. Fall, though, with the crisp coolness and the subtly of the light blue sky against bright bold colors of changing leaves, is my very favorite time of year. That said,…

Green Peas, Shoots, and Leaves

Green is always good, in my opinion. Green this, green that ~ environmental, edible, eye-catching ~ it’s all exceptional. So is this refreshing summer salad. Fresh green snap peas, tangled among tender pea shoots, and tossed amid fresh mint leaves and aromatic cilantro and lime. Yes, amazing, indeed. Oh, and if you don’t dare to…

Asian Veggie “Noodle” Salad

Often times Asian food gets a wrap for being heavy and sugar laden. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather feel light and refreshed following a meal, than sluggish and weighed down. I’m also not a fan of super sweet things… Thus, a fresh, raw “noodled” Asian salad fits the bill almost any night…
