Raw Food Porn: Apples & Almond Choco Butter

Here's another for the raw food porn series. Which for those who aren't keen, is a series of incredibly mouth watering eye candy minus the recipe.

...however, can be found in my upcoming (eco-friendly) digital no-cook book (my first of which can be found here.) The point of the Raw Food Porn series is to spread raw, raw vegan, gluten-free awareness and maybe inspire some creativity. Nothing should be too hard to deconstruct with a bit of imagination. I've been fondest of the simpler sides of raw foodery these days.

So here you go, for your eyes only.

Raw Food Porn: Living Porridge & Sesame Kale Salad

 

Raw Food Porn:

Tuesday March 5th

Here I am with two living food (raw food) recipes. Time and taste tested, these are two very typical recipes in my day to day life. Ready in minutes and easy on the pallet, I am never hungry or weak after a generous serving of a good kale salad or big bowl of living porridge. May your bellies be full and minds open.

Enjoy and Bon Apetit!

Naked Gardening I: The Planning Process

I've been reading Anastasia by Vladimir Megre and my green thumb has been itching to get into some fresh soil. After all, there's no better way to eat raw vegetables and fruits than from your own garden. I'm in the process of planning my very first organic vegetable garden. First being that it is MY OWN to do with as I please. I plan on a summertime raw vegan juice detox. Planned correctly, I can juice straight from my own personal veggie Eden. 

And the garden;
I'm going about it as I go about most things; half prepared and half experiment. I plan on monitoring and adjusting soil pH as well as burying a crystal in the center for good vibrations. Just to give you an idea of those two ends of my spectrum. 

Here is the dream:

I jumped for joy when the sun shone through these heavy Oregon clouds the very day after drawing up this plan. Armed with a old pickaxe, edger and some string, I began the outline, just like I start any good still like painting, I drew my figure. It felt wonderful and took an afternoon and a half.

Some things I can think about getting into the soil soon:

• Carrots
• Onions
• Lettuce

I'll get more into the Anastasia method of gardening as the weather warms and seeding is in full force. Those of you (I'll bet a lot of you) who are reading this and have read the Ringing Cedars series already know the journey I'm on. Like all things I will most definitely veer from route but only where I feel veering is appropriate.

I hope all of you interested in organic, sustainable gardening stay tuned. Things will only grow up from here!
