A few weekends ago I took a trip to New York City. I really wanted to visit my friend Mallorie's popup shop, and other than that, I basically just planned to eat my weight in delicious NYC food. When I got into the city, the first thing I did was head to a raw vegan … Continue reading NYC Weekend

My Raw Vegan Pilgrimage to Pure Food and Wine
I've been a fan of One Lucky Duck and Pure Food and Wine for years, ever since I discovered raw food-ism. There is a high-end, gourmet feel to their brand, and I think it's well deserved. I've ordered from the site and visited the takeout bar a bunch of times, but I finally made it … Continue reading My Raw Vegan Pilgrimage to Pure Food and Wine
Recipe: Raw Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Frosting
These cupcakes are incredibly chewy and moist. They taste like a traditional brownie, but there's no sugar or flour, and they're completely raw. The icing is just as rich and delicious, and it only contains cashews and agave (or date paste). Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Frosting Recipe Type: Vegan, Raw Author: Christine Ingredients Cupcake 1 cup dates + … Continue reading Recipe: Raw Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Frosting
Vitacost Haul
This is only my second order from Vitacost, so I won't say I'm obsessed yet, but I love the huge selection of beauty products. I'd say they have a bigger selection and cheaper prices than Amazon when it comes to natural hair care and makeup products. I have a recurring order of vitamins for everyone. … Continue reading Vitacost Haul
Recipe: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
This is one of my favorite desserts because it's so easy. This weekend we had peanut butter chocolate chip, but the possibilities are endless. For Valentine's Day I made a Cherry Garcia flavor with frozen bananas, frozen cherries, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. We always have bananas in the freezer, just in case, but they … Continue reading Recipe: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
My Dinner at Candle 79
I never had dreams of a big elaborate wedding, but the one detail I was set on was vegan food. Delicious vegan food that omnivores could say, "wow that was really good!" My first plan was to get lunch from The Cinnamon Snail. I've been dying to try this gourmet food truck but our paths … Continue reading My Dinner at Candle 79
Recipe: Pink Starburst Smoothie
This is one of my favorite smoothies. It tastes just like a pink Starburst. Ingredients: Frozen strawberries Pineapple (fresh, frozen, or canned) Coconut water (I usually buy the plain coconut water not Goya brand, because Goya adds sugar and other weird stuff, but this was the only one they had at the store.) Pinch of … Continue reading Recipe: Pink Starburst Smoothie
Raw Chocolate Cake
I found pictures of this raw chocolate cake/brownie that I made a while ago and wanted to share. Even though this isn't a traditional cake, I love it so much more because there is only real, raw foods in it. There are a lot of dates, and dates are high in sugar, so it's still … Continue reading Raw Chocolate Cake
Recipe: Grapefruit and Kale Green Smoothie
The ginger in this smoothie makes it spicy. If you aren't a ginger fan, omit it or use less. Ingredients: 2 cups of water 1 grapefruit juice from 1/2 a lemon about an inch of peeled ginger 2 large handfuls of kale (or more) 1 cup of frozen mango sweetener (agave, stevia, etc) … Continue reading Recipe: Grapefruit and Kale Green Smoothie
Raw Recipe: Crackers!
Last weekend we went apple picking, and lots of apples means dehydrated cinnamon apple slices. Since I dusted off the dehydrator, and also saw my abundance of flax seed meal, I decided to try my hand at crackers again. Last time I made them (a few years ago), I used peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, flax, … Continue reading Raw Recipe: Crackers!
