It’s Thanksgiving weekend and that always makes me think of cranberries and so I am posting one of my favorite salads with cranberries! It’s sweet and salty, slightly nutty and delicious any time of the year. It’s also very easy to make and I’ll guide you though as usual with pictures below. || Read more
Pine nut parmesan is one of my favorite toppings and is great on many dishes: pastas, salads, pizza, lasagna. It is delicious, nutritious and very easy to make. I love to have a jar of this around to sprinkle on foods. It has a wonderful nutty, cheesy taste – just fabulous! || Read more
I love Caesar salad so it would make sense that I would need to create a fabulous raw vegan version of it and I have to admit that I really love this one and so do many others. This is one of my most requested recipes. This Caesar Salad dressing is remarkably close to the some of the best Caesar dressings I have tried and it’s vegan, raw and very nutritious! I hope you enjoy it just as much!
Chia pudding is a wonderfully easy way to eat chia seeds. It is like a tapioca pudding with an almond-vanilla flavor. Chia doesn’t have a flavor on its own and takes on the flavor of whatever it is put with, in this case almond milk and vanilla. Chia seeds swell up and make you feel full quickly and so are great for weight loss and for endurance, helping you to stay full for a long time. These little seeds have a big nutritional profile and are also go great for your health.

This recipe was a special request. It’s a recipe that we used to make at Toronto Sprouts and it used to be the base layer for our famous ; ) Earth Bread sandwiches. These sandwiches were the biggest hit of the cafe, everyone loved them. & here’s a shout out to all of you underground Toronto raw people who came and ate those sandwiches made with Marie’s famous Earth Bread (which I helped to perfect ; ). But back to the Pate. I love this and make it often to have on crackers. It’s perfect with the Multi Seed Crackers! || Read more
This is a recipe I created years ago and it still has yet to be improved upon. It’s still a favorite and even if I create others (it’s nice for a change) I keep coming back to this one. I made this the day before yesterday and some skeptics around here were delightfully surprised. Well, I was delighted, especially when yesterday, a day after eating the soup I kep getting sporadic compliments on it. “That green soup was great” I kept hearing. It made me feel good to turn people, who didn’t believe a green soup could taste good, onto it. || Read more
This corn chowder is vegan and made creamy with coconut milk, which has healthy fats your body utilizes well, and medium chain fatty acids which help to dissolve the bad fats in cells. Coconuts are very nutritious and so a great choice for making soups creamy. Corn is a food that although I love, I don’t eat very often as it is high in carbs and is often GMO. I usually only buy organic but we got a lot of fresh produce this week from a local farmer that was mostly, but not certified organic. At least no pesticides were used! || Read more
