Having survived the morning of Day 3 being Gluten Free [GF] I finished the night on a high note. My hubby was happy too :) Isn't this a beauty? I whipped up a gluten free, vegan pizza. To my surprise it tasted quite well. Making it was very simple. I went grocery shopping and grabbed Red Mill's GF pizza crust mix. I followed the instructions on the package, … [Read more...]

Cucumber Chickpea Salad {Vegan Recipe}
I had a very exciting morning so far--I just placed a bulk order for nuts, seeds and dates through a co-op located in the Northwest. Even after S&H charges, which I did not have to pay when I lived in Washington, I still saved about $50-60! I also found a new knife sharpener for my kitchen [I am telling you--it does not take much to get me excited]. ;) Since it feels … [Read more...]

Creamy Kale Green Smoothie Recipe {Cleanse Day 2}
How are you, loves? I am feeling fantastic. I finished off day 1 of our 3-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse and woke up 1.5 lbs lighter this morning. Although 99% of the time it is not about weight-loss for me, but about feeling great, I did need a couple of pounds to come off. Due to my workout schedule I felt that my body was under a bit of stress, so, instead of just getting … [Read more...]

I woke up with no sense of hunger at all. It took me a couple of hours to get there, which put me in a very exploratory and creative mood... for desserts :) [lucky for you]. I snacked on less than a cup of what was left over from Borscht and then went on a scavenger hunt through our fridge. I had planned to make a soup or salad and raw desserts. A while back I found a … [Read more...]

How to Make Your Own Raw Fermented Foods at Home
Growing up overseas fermented foods were a part of our regular diet. For the most part it was raw fermented sauerkraut, which we used in soups and salads. Back then, I do not think that we intentionally fermented cabbage with other veggies for the health benefits, but it was a fringe benefit for sure--we simply did it to preserve enough cabbage to last us through the … [Read more...]
