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!

My friend Rana makes this dressing often. I was at her house the other day and she put it on my salad, I loved it!! It tastes kind of like a red French dressing (which I love but is not very good for you), this is a great alternative!
2 sweet red bell peppers
1/2 cup apple […]

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! […]

Since I started the Raw Food Detox Diet I’ve been drinking one of these shakes every morning. I was quite surprised at how well it tastes! She suggested this shake especially for women who are pregnant and starting the diet. I was also surprised to find out how much it filled me up, and I’m […]

We like to have healthy, preferably raw snacks around the house for those moments when one of us is thinking about being naughty sometime before the next meal! 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 […]

Lunch-Fruit/Veggie plate
I don’t know about you but some days I have a hard time getting my toddlers to want to eat healthy. But I heard something a few months ago that really made sense. If your goal is to train your children to eat healthy and you deck the table out with the best veggies […]

We made this a few days ago and the whole family loves it! It’s a really healthy snack and has lots of raw seeds that they wouldn’t normally eat by themselves. I send a couple bars with my husband for breakfast and give smaller portions to my kids after lunch, they love them.
In a saucepan […]
