  Posted July 25, 2010 // Tagged as Health // No Comments

  

  So I am sitting around the house, dying to get outside when it starts raining, and all of a sudden my need to go outside vanishes. Well it happened to also be lunchtime, and I was getting hungry. I had some corn in the fridge, and decided to make something raw. I hope you enjoy my Raw Corn Chowder w. Basil

  Ingredients:

  • A couple Ears of Corn
  • 3 Tbsp of Seeds (Pumpkin, Sunflower, Almond, Cashew)
  • A clove of garlic
  • 2-3 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • A cup or so of water
  • a few sprigs Basil for garnish and flavor

  Directions

  Just put all the ingredients in a food processor apart from the Olive oil & water. Process till smooth{ish). Add Olive oil little by little, and then water until desired texture is reached. Garnish with Basil and enjoy with a could beverage of choice, I’m addicted to Sweet Leaf Teas at the moment.

• Recipe: Raw Pasta w. Basil & Pumpkin Seeds

  Posted April 19, 2010 // Tagged as Health // No Comments

  Serves: 2 adults

  Ingredients:

  • 1-2 Zucchini (Julienned)
  • 1 Corn on the cob
  • 1 handful fresh basil
  • 2 Cloves garlic (optional)
  • ½ – 1 Cup Pumpkin seeds
  • 2 Tbsp Sunflower oil or Olive Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Organic Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ½ Tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional) or you can use dulse or other seaweed flakes
  • Celtic Sea Salt & Organic pepper to taste (pinch)

  Recipe

  Well there isn’t much to the cooking of this since it is raw, but I start by slicing the zucchini with a medium blade and putting it in a bowl. Slice corn on the julienne tool without the size blade, or use a regular kitchen knife to separate corn from the cob. Mince basil & pumpkin seeds. Pour oil and vinegar on top of zucchini spirals, mix in basil and pumpkin seeds, finish by adding salt, pepper and flakes to taste. Toss the “salad” and serve on plates. Sprinkle on Nutritional yeast as garnish, and add a garlic bread, fresh bread with olive oil, or any other condiment on the side.

• Kiwi, Apple, Kale & Ginger Juice

  Posted March 1, 2010 // Tagged as Health // 1 Comment

  Today is the day, I will start to share my recipes on a frequent basis with you all here. I have been thinking about what I could do with my blog aside from showcasing my work, but felt it wasn’t nearly enough to show who I am,and what I am all about. So I decided (with some persuasion from friends) to start (b)logging everything I have learned over the past 6 years about Nutrition, health and Fitness. Starting with this recipe for a delicious RAW super juice.

  Juice is so simple to make, and if you have a great juicer like I have  (picture below), even the cleaning up takes only minutes.

  

  So on to the recipe.

  Ingredients (Preferably organic)

  • 5 Leaves of Lacino Kale
  • 5 Leaves of Kale (the curly kind) or approx. 10 leaves of either
  • 3 Kiwis
  • 1 Apple
  • 1 inch chunk of Ginger

  Process

  Basically the order in which to process the vegetables is really not so important, although I have my preferred method. I like to start with the harder vegetables like Ginger and kale, then apple, and lastly the soft fruit Kiwi.

  Notes

  The great thing about this recipe, is that since all the ingredients are either green or clear in color, the juice comes out in a very rich green hue, and needless to say… Its delicious! Enjoy.

  Now the more factual part. So what exactly is so good for you about this green juice?
  Here’s what I’ve learned: Continue Reading →

• How do you do it? Staying healthy as a vegan

  Posted February 27, 2010 // Tagged as Health // 3 Comments

  Its been a while, since I’ve been writing about health related stuff, but in the last couple of months I have several times been asked “How do you stay that way being vegan?” By “That way” I guess they mean in shape or looking fresh? Either way, my response is always, its actually easier to stay healthy and lean as a vegan than on a “regular diet”. By regular I’m implying a typical carnivorous diet, a meat and potatoes diet if you will.
  
  A little history
  I grew up eating the Meat and potatoes diet, and would consider myself an Omnivore, I ate pretty much anything that came my way lol, and I had a healthy appetite as well. Although I was never overweight, I was always a “big boy” and exercised alot. Anyway back to the topic. How to stay lean and strong on a vegan diet. Well there are a million ways to skin this cat, but what is a common denominator is variety and balance. What I often see missing in a regular diet is both.

  When I became vegan 6 years ago, I had to relearn nearly everything i knew about nutrition and diet, and I am still on that path learning, being an eager student, and off course it helps that I love food especially fruits and vegetables. Continue Reading →
