My family loves this soup! It is hearty and delicious. Since peas are in the legume family, they provide many of the typical nutritional benefits found in legumes, such as high protein, high fiber, and low fat.
This soup is easy to prepare and inexpensive. Total cooking time is a couple of hours. Preparation time is about 15-20 minutes. The only advance preparation necessary is to soak the split peas overnight. When you soak them beforehand you can shorten their cooking time and make them mo... Continue reading ...

Healthy Dinner Recipes are easy to find these days. But, being a “clean” vegan, or a person who does not eat animal products or processed foods, it can still be a challenge to find a suitable recipe that doesn’t need altering. I can usually tweak most recipes to come up with “clean” versions and when I come across one that I get excited about, I like to share it. I came across the creamed kale recipe on the Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen. A wonderful blog filled with healthy recipes. M...

Potatoes are nutritious, versatile and easy to prepare in so many recipes. Perhaps this is why they are one of our most popular vegetables. One medium sized potato provides us with about 5 grams of fiber and 150 calories. They are rich in complex carbohydrates, which can supply us with valuable energy. Potatoes contain vitamin C, B6 and other vitamins and minerals. They are rich in potassium (in fact they contain more than any other vegetable – even bananas). As an electrolyte, potassium ca...

Red cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable. It is a good source of phytonutrients that assist our bodies with detoxification from the daily carginogens to which we are exposed. It is rich in glucosinolates which help the body to develop isothiocyanates - strong cancer fighting properties. Red cabbage is a rich source of Vitamins A and C which are powerful antioxida...

As a vegan who eats following a “raw” philosophy (no adulterated or processed foods), I am constantly on the lookout for recipes that are rich, creamy and delicious without being overly complicated. This recipe is not complicated but it will take a little time and effort to prepare. However, the end result is worth it. We had clean plates around the table when I prepared this meal.

One of my favorite foods has always been tuna. And, although I am mostly vegan and raw at this point, I do still eat some fish occasionally. I believe that the omega 3 fatty acids contained in fish are important to heart health. Deep caught, cold water fish that is wild caught is the most beneficial. But, be sure you know your source and buy from a reputable fish seller.
However, if you do not eat fish or if you want a suitable alternative, try this tuna-ish salad. It is raw and made from all ... Continue reading ...

Adapted from a recipe by Kathy Pollard This is the best “cheese” sauce I have tried. It is quick and easy to whip up and it is a versatile condiment. You can use it on potatoes, brown rice pasta, veggies – or whatever you like to eat cheese sauce on. The arrowroot powder thickens it up nicely and the nutritional yeast flakes gives it a cheesy taste. Kathy Pollard is genius for thinking this one up! Thanks Kathy! I usually will serve this over baked potatoes. My family loves it! Delicious c...

If you love egg salad but, like me (due to allergies), can’t eat eggs, this is a substitute that really closely simulates the real thing. You can put this recipe together in about 5 minutes and it requires no cooking. The mashed tofu gives this salad its texture. It is a high protein food that is low calorie and does not contain the high amounts of cholesterol that is found in egg yolks. It is great for sandwiches or wraps and will hold up for about 3 days or so in the refrigerator (if it l... Continue reading ...

This recipe is incredible. As a vegan who is allergic to eggs and dairy, I was thrilled to discover this version of quiche. It retains the creamy texture of the real thing but does not leave me with all of the side effects that the original would leave behind. I fed this recipe to my family and they loved it. The next time I make it, I will have to make two! A quick double take and the pie plate went empty. Amazing! It is so tasty and creamy even the biggest skeptics will approve.

Raw foodism is a philosophy that most or all of the diet should be raw food. Some raw foodists claim that cooking food kills its precious enzymes. Cooking has both positive and negative effects. Cooking, particularly for long periods, can break down some of the vitamin content. Steaming and boiling causes some of the minerals and vitamins to be lost. Carcinogens that can cause cancer are formed when foods are burned or oils are heated above the smoking point. And, deep frying foods leads to t... Continue reading ...
