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

DC Vegfest 2014
This past Saturday was the DC Vegfest sponsored by Compassion Over Killing. I only realized it the Monday before, so it was a wonderful surprise and a totally spur of the moment trip. The day was a total blast and even though it was a bit hot, the weather was beautiful. It's been announced that there … Continue reading DC Vegfest 2014
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
Recipe: Raw Fig Bars
This recipe is for raw fig bars. First, because I used to love Fig Newton's as a kid (maybe because in my mind I thought they were healthy), and second because once I tried a raw fig bar from One Lucky Duck, my life changed. Just thinking about them gets my mouth watering, and they … Continue reading Recipe: Raw Fig Bars
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!
Raw Orange Chocolate Cheesecake
For my birthday I really wanted a cake...a guilt free cake. I was looking up raw desserts and found this gem: Raw Orange Chocolate Cheesecake. Now mine doesn't look as pretty as the one on www.rawmazing.com, but it tasted delicious. I think my problem was not getting the coconut smooth enough (I made coconut butter instead … Continue reading Raw Orange Chocolate Cheesecake
Raw Review: Lulu's Chocolate Bars
Lulu's Chocolate: Initial thoughts: Sexy packaging. So far I've eaten all except for the Raw Love and the Maca Green bars. I tried the Aztec Crunch bar first because crunch bars are one of my favorite candy bars, and I enjoy cacao nibs. I have to say I didn't care for it. The chocolate had a slightly weird aftertaste and … Continue reading Raw Review: Lulu's Chocolate Bars
Raw Review: Kaia Foods
I recently saw Daily Gourmet had a special of raw foods from Kaia Foods. I had signed up for Daily Gourmet emails but I had never used it before, but this seemed like the perfect opportunity to try it out. Now, first of all I looked at the deal and I wasn't really interested in … Continue reading Raw Review: Kaia Foods
