I can’t believe it’s been 4 YEARS since I’ve posted anything on this blog. I started this website in June of 2009 after I had started to eat a whole bunch of junk food and symptoms of a gut imbalance started to return. Here I am, 12 years later, and I did the same thing to myself again. 2020 was the year of COVID and lockdowns. For those of us who understand true health and healing, it was also a year of scams, lies, and hoaxes. Due to all of that, it was a

I was walking down their aisle of greens the other day when I noticed they had dandelion greens on sale. I had never had dandelion greens before and thought they would be nice sautéed with some oil and garlic for a seasonally appropriate springtime dish. I bought a bunch and it sat in my refrigerator for a few days before I had a chance to do anything with it. I thought I could

However, even if I can’t get locally grown ingredients, I still like eating season appropriate produce. When I think of springtime, I think of asparagus, leeks, peas, and green onions. I was in the mood for some spring veggies the other day and had some ingredients on had so I put a nice little vegan dish together that involved some frozen green peas, some chopped scallions, and some chopped red bell pepper (that I had gotten on sale at a local produce market for only 99 cents

I’ve completely transitioned from a protein rich Paleo based diet (that still had a lot of fruits and vegetables) to a high fruit mostly raw vegan diet. I tried the raw diet thing almost 10 years ago and was very unsuccessful with it. What I didn’t know at the time was that I was doing it wrong. I was focused too much on vegetables and not enough on fruits. The right way to do raw vegan is high fruit. I’ve never felt better or

Almost every time that I’ve walked up and down their aisles for the past five years, I’ve glanced at their nut butter section hoping to see it there. You can imagine my total surprise and utter joy when I saw these beautiful jars stacked on the shelf in their new products area. I immediately bought one. It cost $3.49 for a 10.6 ounce jar so I thought that was a great deal. Tahini is usually pretty pricey and that’s reasonable. The ingredients listed on

Now, if you’re like me, you like mango juice but can never find it in a store without added sugars, sweeteners, or blended with other fruits. I always look, and I’m always disappointed. This was the first time that I wasn’t. When I picked up the box to double check the ingredients, the only ingredient listed was 100% pure mango juice! Yay! Unfortunately, I can’t find my receipt, so I don’t know exactly how much I paid, but they were reasonably priced. The

They looked interesting so I decided to give them a try. They sell them in a 2 pound bag for $4.49. They are a green seedless grape from the United States. They’re large and firm and definitely have a crunch to them when you bite into them. However, I was a bit disappointed with the sweetness. With a name like Sugar Crunch, I thought for sure they would be a very sweet grape. Unfortunately, they weren’t. I didn’t find them

To me, they looked like the mini heirloom tomatoes that you can buy at Trader Joe’s, however, nowhere on the package did they say that they were heirloom. It seems that “Wild Wonders” is the trademarked name that Sunset Produce is using for their mix of small colorful tomato varieties. They’re grown in greenhouses in Mexico. Here’s what they looked like from the back. You can see all of the different

Since I’ve also embarked on a cleansing diet, greatly increasing my consumption of fruit and herbs, I wanted to see if I could put together a simple but tasty winter detox soup. I should also say that I’m in the process of trying to cleanse an overabundance of sulfur out of my body

I’ve had freeze dried berries before, but I’ve never had freeze dried grapes. I thought they sounded so interesting. The only ingredient on the package was ‘Grapes’. The package says:
