    Raw Chocolate, Macadamia Macaroons

    Although I love cookbooks, I’m terrible at leaving recipes alone… I always want to modify and try out my own variations of recipes – especially desserts!    This recipe is no different:  I found a basic recipe for macaroons in a Raw Food books called “Raw Food – Real World”and tweaked it Hawaiian Style. You don’t [...]

  • A Precious Gift from God

    Another precious son through the gift of adoption!

    Three nights ago, we received a call from our adoption agency… They had a baby for us!  Even more exciting is that ‘he’ (yes it’s a boy!) was already born and waiting for us to pick up!  (That’s the short story – I’ll tell you the long one another day).  However, he was in the NICU [...]

New Baby = Hairy Legs & Pits

[ 2 ] September 3, 2009

New babies come at a high cost.  No, I’m not just talking about money or those sleepless nights - but there’s something else that these precious little ones cost us mothers… and that’s the toll on our personal hygiene. I caught a glimpse of myself in the full length mirror on the way out the door yesterday and [...]

Unconditional Love at it's Best

Sick Kids = Chaos and One Tired Mom

[ 0 ] July 30, 2009

I’m pretty obsessive about making sure that hands get washed regularly; I try to minimize our exposure to other sick people; and of course the #1 defense is to eat a healthy diet full of ‘whole’ and ‘raw’ foods… but inevitably, everybody gets sick sometimes. Especially children who lack the judgment not to put their [...]

The Perfect Pizza Crust for about a Buck Fifty

[ 2 ] July 7, 2009

Ok, I admit it… I’m a bit of a Pizza Snob.  I really dislike the cheap pizza that comes from ‘huts’, and from the little dude wearing a toga  – but I’m also too cheap to pay for a ‘gourmet’ pizza made by a ‘knight’ who claims that his ‘table is round’ (if you catch my drift).

Homemade Playdough for Conspiracy Theorists

[ 1 ] June 27, 2009

I’ve caught my son sneaking little bites of play-dough every now and then and it got me wondering ‘what the heck is in that anyway?’   The container says ‘non-toxic’, but if you’re a conspiracy theorist mom like me, you’re not entirely convinced it’s safe. Plus, if you haven’t noticed, name brand playdough isn’t cheap… and I was tired of buying container after container [...]

Veggie Stir Fry – Cheap, Easy & Healthy!

This recipe is very easy and can be changed into a semi-’raw’ dish if you only stir-fry the noodles and put the raw veggies on top. This is the perfect recipe if you are transitioning to a raw food (or whole food) lifestyle.
