Trigger Foods: What are they and why do the effect us?

Nasty things, Trigger Foods. I am speaking from experience here. I have read multiple other accounts of people experiencing similar problems with certain foods. For some like Jinjee it’s Cocoa, for others it’s sweets and for me it’s salt & fats (but possibly sweets). Salts seem to be a big one though!
Right now I am [...]

Being Defined by Your Food Choices

I am going to take this opportunity to discus something that I recently experienced for the first time. I went on a trip to visit my sister with my mother. My sister lives out West so it was a long plane ride and as I am sure most of you raw foodies out there are [...]

Coping – Raw Foods and Energetic/Emotional Sensitivities

I decided it was important for me to write a blog post on the connection between raw foods and your energetic/emotional sensitivity. I need to point out that it is currently 2 am and I have had about 3 hours of sleep. I can’t sleep any more right now and am hoping that writing will [...]

Through the looking glass…

“Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle.”
Well this wasn’t exactly the quote I was looking for and it’s out of the original “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” but I liked it just the same and it seemed to fit! I’ve been on a curious adventure lately and all I could think about [...]

Natural Zing

For those of you out there who have yet to be introduced to this wonderful company, let me be the first to tell you about how wonderful it is! Natural Zing is located in rural Maryland. It is run by a couple that started eating raw foods about 5 years ago and subsequently founded this [...]

Detox, Reiki and Parsley

Happy Friday! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend planned!!
I have been writing a little less often lately. I find that my life has taken a funny turn. For a while there I had nothing to do while at work so I was able to write and reflect a lot. Lately this is not the [...]

Happy Inauguration Day!

Being “the change that you want to see in the world” (Ghandi) is something that a lot of raw foodists resonate with. Today’s inauguration is no exception. The power and energy around DC (I live/work 20 minutes outside of the Beltway) is amazing right now. I am having a very difficult time focusing on my [...]

Inspiration RAWakening

Well I just want to extend a very warm “Welcome Back” to anyone who keeps up with my blog and was wondering if I would be back any time soon. I’m back! As I write this I am sitting on my wood stove grate trying to convince myself that I am warm. The fire is [...]

What makes a good cookie?

Well remember a few days ago when I said I was having a d(hydrator) day! Well I am finally posting one of my goodies from that day. I only ended up making two things, these cookies and “I Am Grateful” flax crackers (bread). These cookies were more than worth it though! It made me really [...]
