This seaweed salad recipe makes seaweed taste great and any recipe that can make seaweed taste good is a great recipe by me. Seaweed, aka sea vegetables, are one of the most nutritious foods that you can eat. Think of them as greens from the sea, dark leafy greens loaded with even more minerals that our super nutritious dark leafy greens from the land. Sea weeds contain all of the minerals from the abundantly mineral-rich sea water. || Read more
This healthy breakfast recipe, Buckwheaties, is a raw cereal made from a very nutritious seed that is sprouted and dehydrated. Many think of buckwheat as a grain, but it is actually a fruit seed and despite its name has no relation to wheat at all. Many people who are intolerant to wheat and other grains will find comfort in this highly nutritious and energizing grain-like seed. Buckwheat has high levels of valuable minerals, phytonutrients and a surprisingly high level of antioxidants, rivalling and surpassing many fruits and vegetables. || Read more

See below their abundant health benefits, along with a flavorful, easy to make, light and refreshing cucumber salad recipe.

Our celriac, leek and kale soup recipe this week features the cool and unusually ugly looking vegetable celriac and also leeks, which mom & I picked up at the market yesterday morning. Celriac is amazing in soups. It does not have a strong taste It is fairly mild and tastes somewhat like celery, but not as nearly as assertive, celriac is much more mellow. After you peel all the knobby parts off of it the inside has a texture much like a rutabaga or turnip and I think it is quite a nice change from that or potatoes in vegetable soup recipes. This soup also has kale as I am on a bit of a kale kick and trying to eat as much of it as I can. It is quite an ecclectic spice mixture and I knew I was pushing it a little with my combination but I, and others, think it turned out to be quite fantastic.
This fruit cobbler recipe is a raw foods version made with tropical fruit and a wonderful change from the more traditional fruit cobbler recipes. I love it made with tropical fruits. But I am a serious tropical fruit lover know I will have to move to the tropics one day, at least for the winters! 😉 The topping has nuts and coconut that go really well with the mango, pineapple and papaya, but even so this recipe would work great to make a delicious peach cobbler recipe or a berry or apple cobbler recipe as well. Just substitute fruit and you can lower the coconut and add a little more walnuts and almonds. I love playing with recipes but even so I have made this one exactly as is a few times, and this tropical fruit cobbler recipe has been really successful at a few various gatherings. || Read more
