If there’s one thing our plant-based family loves, it’s HUMMUS.

A while back I started adding fresh rosemary to our hummus…

Raw Vegan Chocolate Mint Brownie Bites
Who doesn’t love mint and chocolate together? These no-bake brownie bites are a delicious spin on the raw vegan brownies I’ve been making for years.

Raw Vegan Fudge Recipe
Dearest friends, I have very exciting news… FUDGE CAN BE HEALTHY!!!

What I Ate Today on the Low Fat Raw Vegan Diet

Not a day goes by where…

Do you ever have those days where you just can’t stop eating??? Today is one of those days. Thankfully I’m eating raw vegan food or I’m sure I’d resemble the marshmallow man from Ghostbusters right about now. I feel very fortunate that eating a pound of grapes does not have the same effect as say,…
Raw Vegan Apple Pie Recipe
