This ice cream or sorbet was perfect! The kids had a blast making it with our new juicer and it was so fast and easy. The best part about it is that it’s so healthy, you could eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner. Nothing added, just frozen fruit. Half the fruit I froze myself […]

For those of you who know about juicing, this juicer is amazing! The pulp is totally dry when it comes out and I’m getting a lot more juice for how many vegetables I am juicing. Tonight we made ice cream from frozen fruit, it was absolutely amazing! We are going to get years of use […]

My mother made this recipe and for all the healthy stuff in this cake, it was delicious! This cake is very moist, and the neat thing about this recipe is that you can really adjust it to your own preferences. I will definitely be making this cake, one day!

This is a variation of a recipe I found on Allrecipes.com, I made these tonight with the boys, they helped with a few of the ingredients and then mostly helped by scooping the contents onto the foil. These turned out really well and I was surprised at how much they tasted like the “real” ones! […]

This is another recipe my friends Rana and Jana shared with me from Serene Allison’s raw cookbook “Rejuvenate Your Life.” A cookbook that I need to get […]

My friend Rana made this for a get together we had a couple of weeks ago and it was refreshing and delicious. It was kind of a hearty salsa like dish that we ate with tortilla chips but I think I would cook up some rice and eat it for dinner it was so delicious! […]
