Important Information About My Recipes

First of all, they are my recipes. Please don't claim them and sell them. Just use them, share them, and enjoy them!

Second, you will notice that I use predominantly organic ingredients. This is simply my preference; use whatever you want! That's the fun of cooking!

If you'd like to use the same products I use, I have included product links in all of my recipes.

In addition to that, I use only ingredients that are readily available (to me) and easy to find. You can find most, if not all, of them in your local grocery store (I can personally vouch for Wegman's, Harris Teeter, Kroger, Lowe's, Whole Foods, and Earth Fare). Many of the meat and dairy replacements can be found in the produce section (such as Gimme Lean ground sausage style soysage, Tofutti Sour Cream and Cream Cheese, Silken Tofu, etc). The baking goods will be in your baking aisle, and the non-dairy milk will either be with dairy products, or on a shelf in dry goods (look for your natural food section).

If you have any questions about the ingredients I'm using, such as where to find specific items, or substitutions, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Check back often, as I will be uploading recipes every chance I get (I have quite the collection!)

Namaste and Nude Food!

The Rawsurrection

Happy September everyone! I hope you all had an enjoyable summer...and spring...and, heck, who am I kidding!? I hope the rest of your winter was great, too, since I haven't blogged since January!

My apologies...

It's been hectic around here...where is "here," anyway? Well, as many of you know, I've been seeing someone pretty seriously for a while now, and we moved in together on August 1st. The three of us relocated from Banner Elk to Asheville, NC and things have been crazy these past several weeks, between unpacking, securing child care, job hunting, and starting school. Alas, I've found my groove and so, I have decided to give this whole blogging thing another go. After all, I have tons of new (and old) recipes to share!

I will admit that I gave up the "raw" ghost in the spring, because I wasn't dedicated enough to make it work smoothly. BUT, I have been successfully vegan, with less than a handful of indiscretions, for nearly 10 months now. Yea me!

I have not given up on my raw food journey, however, and will continue to incorporate mostly raw foods into my diet, while working toward a final transition. Maybe my new goal will be set for 01/01/2011 this time (I adore goals).

In the mean time, I have tons of vegetarian goodies to divulge to you, as well as an interesting story about getting Emma's "alternative" diet approved in her public preschool.

I'm hot and heavy on the vegan campaign these days, so don't expect to see any eggs or dairy in my recipes, and do expect ample propaganda. :)

That's it for now! Keep checking back for updates (especially if you're not on FB where they will be posted).

Namaste!
