- Although Dandelion greens can have a much stronger taste in a Green Smoothie, the flavour can easily be countered by adding either a peeled and seeded lemon, or a peeled lime (or simply add some fresh lemon or lime juice). Another way to soften the extra green taste is to replace the water with young Thai coconut water in a GS!

- Hello All - back from my wonderful trip to Victoria BC! Expansion and awareness with Jin Shin Jyutsu, connection with like-minded people, and touring around Victoria - all great fun! And yes I made my own raw food and Green Smoothie each morning (had a blender in my room's kitchen).
- My fridge is totally empty (note to self - must shop for food) but I did scrape together enough for a breakfast Green Smoothie. Saving grace was having young Thai coconut meat in the freezer, which when added to my GS made it thick and creamy.
- Green Smoothie: 3 handfuls Chickweed, 1 cup frozen blackberries, 1 peeled banana, 1 peeled and seeded orange, 1/3 cup or more frozen coconut meat, 2 cups water
- Lunch: Almond butter spread on raw bread with banana leather strips for dessert

- Green Smoothie: 1 handful Arugula greens, 2 handfuls Spinach, 1 peeled banana, 1-1/2 Tbsp Chia seeds, 1 cup mixed blueberries/blackberries, 2 cups young Thai coconut water
- Dinner: Made up a grapefruit/avocado plate - sorry no pictures, my camera is charging the battery!
- Here is what I did - removed membrane from between sections of a pink grapefruit, saving the juice. After peeling and seeding an avocado, I arranged the avocado slices into a fan shape. Mixed grapefruit juice and agave together for a dressing.
- To plate - I placed avocado slices on 2 opposite sides of plate, then placed grapefruit slices on the other 2 sides of the plate. Added a mound of fresh sprouts to the centre of the plate and drizzled the dressing over top!
- Dessert: bowl of fresh strawberries
- Breakfast: Bowl of buckwheaties cereal with fresh strawberries, chopped banana, chopped dates, Sesame nut milk and ground seed mix
- Green Smoothie: 2 handfuls Arugula greens, 1 handful Spinach, 1/2 peeled and seeded mango, 1 peeled banana, 1" chunk ginger, 1-1/2 Tbsp Chia seeds, 2 cups water

April 26, 2012- Breakfast: Made fresh Sesame seed milk today, so I had a bowl of buckwheaties cereal with chopped Medjool dates and banana for breakfast
- Snack: Didn't have time to make a GS before I went out, but carrying some cheese n' crackers did the trick!

- Chickweed is an edible plant that is quite high in Vitamin C, calcium, magnesium and potassium as well. Also a contact healing herb that relieves pain in addition to stimulating healing as soon as it's applied, and it can be used for both internal and external healing. Try adding it to your Green Smoothies and mix into salads.
- Dinner: Made a bowl of Sun-dried Tomato Hummus, so I sliced some carrots and celery, added some raw crackers and had this for dinner!
April 24, 2012- Green Smoothie: What to do with coconut meat? Make a Coconut Green Smoothie! Here's what I had today - 2 cups mixed sprouts, 1/2 bunch Cilantro, meat from 1 young Thai coconut, 1 slice fresh pineapple, 1 peeled banana, 2 cups water. (I would have included the coconut water also if I hadn't already used it in something else!)
- Lunch: Yesterday's lunch was such a good fit, that I had Cheese n' Crackers again with Creamy Zucchini Soup (this time I had Chia crackers and Chili crackers with Basil cheeze)
- Dinner: All I felt like having was a slice of Key Lime pie and a cup of Gotu Kola tea!

April 21, 2012
- Such a busy weekend that I didn't record what I ate, but I did make a Key Lime pie and here is a picture!
- This pie was made in an 8" springform pan. Because it is firm and holds its shape well, it is perfect for a deep dish pie.

The Chia seeds will swell up if you let them remain whole, otherwise if blended at high speed they will break down into a gritty powder which you will feel in your throat.

In the morning drain and rinse nuts or seeds really well, and blend with 4 cups water and a bit of sweetener (like 1 date or 1 tsp Agave).

- For a light breakfast this morning before yoga class, I mixed up a bowl of fruit salad from grapefruit, banana, and pineapple.
- My Green Smoothie was a combination of 1/2 bunch dandelion greens, 2 kiwi fruits, 1 banana, 1 cup pears, 2 cups water (added a Tbsp of lemon juice to counter the strong flavour of the dandelion greens)
- Here's my hearty dinner today - Marawnara Pasta with Maraw Balls (recipe in my Saucy Raw Pasta e-book)

| Persimmon Pudding |
- Green Smoothie: The recipe and directions how to make this Persimmon Pudding are posted on the home page of this blog. Here is a picture!
- For me, raw vegan food is always full of surprises - like how the full-bodied flavours in a pasta sauce can be achieved with no cooking required!
- Dinner today was a generous serving of Marawnara Pasta, topped off with Nutty Raw Parmesan! (both recipes in my Saucy Raw Pasta e-book)
December 20, 2011

December 19, 2011
- Here is my Green Smoothie for today: 1-1/2 cups spinach, 2 large kale leaves, 1 large persimmon, 1 banana, 2 cups water This makes a thick pudding-like GS. If you want to thin it out, just add more water.
- My kitchen is filled with the wonderful aroma of raw rye bread that just came out of the dehydrator. It can easily be frozen, but today I am enjoying fresh rye bread with the raw cheese slices I made yesterday, for a great sandwich.
- Lunch today: 2 slices of rye bread spread with coconut oil, 2 slices basil cheese, and 1 sliced tomato - for a simple satisfying lunch!
- Dinner: EZ Fig pudding
- I also made chocolate bites today, and of course they had to be taste tested!
December 18, 2011
- Green Smoothie: 3 cups spinach (firmly packed), 5 extra large strawberries, 1 kiwi fruit, 1 banana, 1-1/2 Tbsp Chia seeds, 2 cups water
- Had a bowl of EZ Fig pudding for my lunch today
- Have you every dreamed of moving somewhere tropical? Well, if I lived in Costa Rica (my dream place), what would I be eating for dinner today? The picture that came to me was of a fresh fruit salad plate loaded with ripe and juicy locally picked fruits.
- Although I didn't have any exotic fruits on hand, I could still mix up a luscious bowl of fruit salad. So a quick search of the contents of my fridge turned up a pineapple, blueberries, an orange, a banana, and a pink grapefruit, all of which I chopped and combined in a bowl. The fruits were allowed to rest awhile in the bowl to release their juices, and a touch of Agave was added for sweetness. My dinner today - Costa Rica Dreaming Fruit Salad!
December 17, 2011

- For dinner I had soup and a sandwich. Today's new creation, Picante Tortilla Soup, is a spicy body-warming soup that is rich and creamy. I served the soup with a slice of seed bread, buttery spread, and broccoli mash - and yes it was all raw!

- Dinner: Tossed together mixed greens, avocado slices, and grapefruit sections in a citrus dressing for a light salad that hit the spot!
December 13, 2011
- Really enjoyed cereal for breakfast this morning, since I haven't had it for awhile!
- Cereal: Buckwheaties, blueberries, sliced banana and Medjool dates, and freshly made almond milk
- Lunch: Raw Vegan Sushi with Spicy cheese dip (used up the leftover Sweet n' Spicy Asian Stir Fry - rolled up in a Nori sheet)
- The sweet/spicy combo of Asian stir fry, saltiness of Nori, and extra heat from the cheese dip was a win-win combination. It's always sooo exciting when a new creation turns out to be so incredibly delicious! And since this was one of those times - I'm definitely including this recipe in my 'Asian' Uncooking class!
- Just got home from the Busye Bodye Naturals Christmas dinner at the Roasted Grape. Being a raw vegan, I was limited to one menu choice, the fresh Thai salad, which I did enjoy with glass of white wine.

Cheezy Veggies al Forno - Attended a raw potluck and as usual ate little bits. At potlucks, may I suggest not piling everything on your plate at once? Individual tastes are thrown together in an uncomplimentary way, and flavours of the individual dishes are lost. Trying 2 or 3 samples at one time allows you to fully experience the essence of each dish.

- Joined my daughter's family for Easter dinner and I am so grateful that they are openly accepting of my vegan choices for greens, veggies and fruits. So I ate: cooked carrots, cooked brussel sprouts and roasted yams, and my contribution of raw brussel sprouts with figs, and a raw raspberry tart.
- HAPPY EARTH DAY! By being grateful for all the living foods that promote health and life, and by supporting sustainable organic farming and a plant-based diet, we CAN live a cruelty-free lifestyle! Today I was outside cleaning up and preparing my veggie garden - working in the soil makes me feel very connected to everything.
- I don't often enjoy the luxury of reading a book while eating my breakfast, but today I took the time and it was worth it. Cereal: buckwheat groats, apple, dates, strawberries, sesame nut milk
- Whole blender of very simple, very green Green Smoothie today: 2 cups water, 1 large mango, 1 banana, 2 huge handfuls of spinach - my way of going green!
- Lunch was delicious: zucchini pasta with a creamy dill sauce, topped with green beans and sun-dried tomatoes.
- I've found that by having my blender full of green smoothie first thing in the morning, I am energized longer. So this morning I blended: 2 cups water, 1/2 avocado, 3 large handfuls mixed greens, 1/2 pineapple, 1 banana.
- Arrived home late again today, but this time I was prepared. Enjoyed a completely raw lunch: bowl of squash soup and a slice of sunflower bread with a raw buttery spread. Finished it off with a dish of fig pudding - yumm!
- Breakfast today of raw cereal which is fast, easy, tasty and filling: buckwheat groats, apple, dates, strawberries, sesame nut milk, sprinkled with ground seeds.
- Running late and didn't get home today till after 4 pm - so I put together zucchini pasta with a creamy dill sauce (missing marinated veggies since none are prepared). Thank goodness I know it only takes a short time to prepare this pasta dish. PS: this is a perfect example of why you should always have a couple of dishes prepared in the fridge.
- Whole blender of my green smoothie around 6 pm.
- Whole blender of Green Smoothie this morning: coconut water from one young Thai coconut - 2 large handfuls spinach - 1 large mango. The meat from the coconut was frozen to be used later in recipes. I have heard there is a shortage of young Thai coconuts on the market, and yes I have noticed prices rising for them, but feel they are worth the extra and like to include at least a couple of coconuts a week into what I consume.
- A bowl of Kabocha squash cauliflower soup, and a raw burger with avocado slices and raw mayo wrapped in a curly lettuce leaf!

- Will be out for a few hours so taking a fig pudding with me for energy (3/4 cup container)
- Finished off my Kelp Noodle Salad for dinner
- Night time snack was the Fruit Salad from yesterday.

- It is around 4 pm and I am very full - but I have a large bowl of Kelp Noodle salad (see Feb 23 post) already prepared - so will be eating some around 6 pm! This salad is more red peppery than cheezy, since I had some left over red pepper sauce which I added to the salad. Never waste those leftovers - makes for great variety!
