My husband loves cereal. It’s his preferred breakfast food. Me, not so much. I love my green smoothie. Anything else just feels too heavy to me for my first meal. So to encourage him to stay away from the cereal aisle at the store, I’ve been experimenting with mostly raw granolas. I think I hit [...]
I’m not one who usually makes New Year’s resolutions, and this year was no different. What was different, however, is the way I’m approaching some life direction changes. You see, my mom calls me an “experiencer”. As in, when deciding my incarnation for this lifetime, I apparently realized that I didn’t get to experience enough [...]
Lately I’ve been craving the crunch of slaw. I think I did that over the summer, too and when that craving hits, I start coming up with all different varieties of slaw.
It’s really simple - amounts are approximate. Adjust to suit your taste:
1/3 head red cabbage, shredded
3-4 carrots, shredded
1 scallion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1-2 [...]
I wanted a chia pudding that was more along the lines of a rice pudding or tapioca. I figured a base of cashew cream would hit the spot, and it did. As is usually the case with me, I didn’t measure, so I’m approximating.
Creamy Chia Pudding
Cashew Cream:
1 cup cashews - soaked
Dash of vanilla
Honey or [...]
I’ve looked all over for recipes for raw onion rings…a healthy version of the fried onion rings I used to love. I couldn’t find any that came close to creating the batter goodness and crispy texture, so I had a bit of a think and came up with my own.
Terry’s AWESOME Onion Rings!
You’ll need:
1 large [...]
Sorry, I don’t have a picture for this one…yet. Can’t say when I’ll get one up, but next time I make some, I will.
These chips have the perfect texture. Great for dipping or for nachos or whatever!
Terry’s Raw Corn Chips:
1/2 cup ground flax - soak for 15 minutes
1/2 cup whole flax seeds (no need to [...]
The past couple weeks I’ve really been experimenting with uncooking. I’ve mentioned before that I love (or loved?) to cook, but uncooking is a whole new thing for me.
While I’m all about keeping things simple when it comes to how we eat, I really enjoy the preparation of food, the arrangement, the tasting, and finally, [...]
Here’s an audio interview I did with Casey of RawAndFit.com talking about doing raw as a busy hairstylist and salon owner in a business where fast food or not eating at all is the norm on a busy day. I also talk about not beating yourself up for not being perfect in our quest for [...]

I made some awesome coconut macaroons today with a little experimentation. I’m going to approximate the measurements because as is my usual method of UNcooking, I tend to add things without measuring. Oh well.
They were so fun to make and smell sooo good! Here’s the recipe:
Raw Coconut Macaroons
2 cups cashews (I didn’t soak)
10 dates - [...]
I felt inclined to make a raw “sorta” cobbler the other day and had a dilemma…eat it right away or wait and serve it for dessert? Dessert won and it was so worth the wait.
Although not raw, I used maple syrup to sweeten the cashew cream and filling, but you could certainly use any sweetener [...]
