I explore the healthy foods my body and heart guide me too with the intention of tasting good and bringing as much light into the body through food prepared with love.awakeningheartsonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08330133934051997726noreply@blogger.comBlogger461100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922697317730356029.post-32052337512855177722011-03-28T18:52:00.000-07:002011-03-29T23:26:56.496-07:00

Traveling on foot and by mass transit in spring rain. Quite different from the winter drizzle. Especially when a wet blooming daphnie shrub scents the air. Fresh green buds popping open everywhere. I have been an Oregonian for most of my life and know intimately the wet NW world well. Drying out in the Utah Wasatch mountains for 4 years was a nice break from the wet of the NW. And neither

Boing. Of course I have to back up and catch you up since my posts stopped over a year ago. It's been one wild ride. First I designed a vegan/veg cafe, wrote and tested the menus, built a website, negotiated a lease, worked intensivly with a SBA counselor, wrote a beautiful over the top business plan, and raised the capital to open. A big beautiful dream bursting with creative passion, healthy

I haven't posted in a long while. I have been really distracted by creating a cafe.Yes! It has been very exciting, stressful and a huge amount of work to create this dream. This is one idea of a hot porridge we want to serve in the mornings. I get way too cold eating raw granola and almond milk. So I turned to studying the Ayurvedic doshas to better understand how to support and balance my body

I have been remiss on keeping up with this blog. It has been a busy summer and amazingly I have not spent much time on the computer! Yay!This is a breakfast I have been eating all summer, inspired by a tiny taste of something kind of similar made by a lovely raw catering company here in Park City. One small bite and I immediately knew this had to be part of my morning, EVERY morning. So I made up

Oh, it is getting warmer in the mountains. Spring really is here. Just in a wet way.... shoots of fresh green a waking up and the winter brown is slowly giving way to green budding.I love raw soups with vibrant flavor pow. This one is creamy and full of flavor.

This makes a great dip with the raw crackers or as a spread for a raw burrito or taco. You can use the spinach wraps to make a taco or use a swiss chard leaf for a burrito wrap. Add in some fresh tomatoes, avocado, cucumber and sprouts. I have made these with the swiss chard and sealed in a small container to take along on long hikes and bike rides. I have also sealed everything separately for

This recipe works best with a vita-mix or other high speed blender. If you just have a standard kitchen blender, soaking the cashews will help not to overtax the motor. Also the vita-mix blender jar is twice the size of a standard kitchen blender. You may want to divide each filling into halves to blend. I have killed two standard kitchen blenders and one low end priced high speed blender

Oh, thank you! Thank you to Elana Amsterdam and her wonderful recipe for these brownies! I veganized them with my faithful chia seed and tested them out on the Park City Drum Circle. Ok, only 3 women showed up including me and my brownies, but no one turned them down and I left a bundle brownies for Lisa on her desk to sample as promised when I ran into her while purchasing the almond butter at

I have been craving pizza! A food from my past that in wheat and dairy form, makes me quite ill when I do make the choice to indulge. So I avoid it for about a year, before I will break down and eat a slice. This year the craving seems to conicide with the cold winter weather and the ski season coupled with cold dark evenings afterwards, so I started searching for an alternative over the past

Oh, you must think I am a bit confused, eggs! Maybe. But I am not 100% in any camp of strictness when it comes to rawness or veganness what so ever. Except I am working on keeping away from wheat. All because I feel so much better when I keep wheat out of my food. Oh and that goes for cow's milk too. Darn it! I love cheese.I have never been good at strict fundamentalism.

This recipe is an adaptation of Janet Doan from her Healingfeast website. I look forward to Joan's emails and new recipes. Each one is a delicious new experience. Ginger shows up in this and I am smitten with my love of ginger and happy to make this recipe. Soaking the wild rice calls for patience and planning ahead.

This hearty warming soup reminds me of the small bowls of miso soup with cubes of soft white tofu and seaweed served at sushi bars. My body doesn't get along well with tofu, so it is not something I replicate at home. You wont have room for roll after roll of sushi with this soup on the table. Just the comfort of the miso and seaweed nourishing you. Arame is a great introduction to seaweed, a

I have been thinking about lemon and poppy seed muffins. That is always how it starts out. I am new to vegan baking (let alone gluten free and then add high altitude to the mix!) and have many disasters from this base of limitations under my belt and in my oven. From volcanic eruptions all over the floor of the oven with shooting flames and belching black smoke pouring out, minutes before

I am sold on the chia! I just made the best muffin of all! Light and moist. Using chia seeds wins hands down! It is supposed to snow for the next couple of days here. We have had balmy days in the 40's and lots of sun. So a nice cup of hot tea and a warm muffin in front of the fire with a good book sounds good to me after a long day of skiing.(For high altitude above 6500 feet: Oven temp: 385

While exploring the internet for chia seed recipes and uses I came apon this drink. Kind of like bubble tea! A great take along for a hike or workout at the gym to rehydrate and replace electrolytes. After I made the photos for this posting, I decided to see what it would be like pureed in the vitamixer. It has a creamy texture and the blending of the seeds brought out more of the chia seed

This pudding wins hands down as a healthy low sugar, high protein dessert you can eat for breakfast or dessert. I found the recipe on Elana's Pantry, a paleolithic food blog. This is pretty much her version with my love of chai spices mixed in.The chia seed in this pudding gives it a tapioca like texture. I did not know anything about a chia seed, so I had to give this a try and do some reading

Breakfast is a very important meal to nurture your body with. When I eat good tasting healthy food, I smile and it puts me in a good mood. When I anticipate making good tasting and healthy food, I am in a good mood and that infuses the food I am making with my good mood. It is part alchemy.

Kale seems to tough to eat raw. But rubbing the kale with high quality sea salt (I recommend Real Salt) and organic olive oil and letting the kale sit for at least 15 minutes, softens and wilts the kale. Basil, ginger, lime and ginger just rock my taste buds with ginger being my number one fav. And you may notice it shows up in many of my recipes. Maybe I need to change the name of this blog to

Soup, the winter staple. A warming, easy meal to put together. I live to feel good after eating. There is nothing like getting up from a meal and feeling satisfied, and energized.It was a new culinary adventure for me to explore mung beans cooked in a soup. I was already on to the benefits of adding digestive enzymes and fiber while enjoying mung bean sprouts in a salad or wrap. The dried mung

This marinade makes a really good salad dressing on arugula with orange slices, toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds), and avocado. Also good on fish! Eziekael's sprouted organic non-GMO corn tortias are my favorite. Or wash and stem swiss chard leaves and wrap around the taco fillings for a really good, fresh and healthy alternative.

I got the honor and pleasure of helping my friend at her family Hanukah dinner party by making all the latkes. Cool! Well I am crazy enough to think so! Not everyone would want to make latkes for 25 and add that her home is located over 8000 feet up in the mountains on an unfamiliar gas stove (not anymore! Me and that stove are now good friends.) And I am not Jewish, just a connoisseur of latkes.

This chutney is really good on vegan potato or sweet potato latkas (I will post). Another "Simply Ming" recipe that has become a regular place in my favorites. It also is good on a grilled portobello burger.2 cups fuji apples cut into 1/4 inch dicejuice of half a lemon1/2 tablespoon safflower oil1 medium onion diced small1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root1/4 teaspoon sea saltGround fresh

Vegan Banana Coconut Walnut Spice SoupI made up these muffins the other day and they turned out really moist and good. I live at just under 7000 feet so there are some high altitude adjustments to this recipe. Up the oven temp to 380 degrees, omit the baking soda. I would not personally change this recipe if you live below 6500 feet. Keep the moistness of the batter dense rather than runny. This

Organic purple corn can be found at nutsonline.com at a great price compared to other sources online. I discovered that when you grind the purple corn it makes a really moist muffin. The purple corn is grown in Peru (ok, this is really far far away and not in the local sustainable category) But, the purple corn is non gmo and organic! It has not had a sex life with the corn here in the US and

I found this recipe in "Simply Ming" An amazing recipe book that took me down the road of Asian/pacific rim seasoning, sauces, dressings, marinades, salsas, chutneys, and rubs. As I learned and expanded my ways to use seasonings, I have happily been changed for life. I often return to Ming's book to look for inspiration in adapting ideas to raw food or vegan preparations.

I found this in the Whole Foods Market Cook book. A great soup resource. I love making this soup vegan by using an easy cashew cream to replace the dairy to make a nice creamy soup. The cashew cream is a neutral flavor, letting the key flavors shine and yet like cream, giving that smooth creamy mouth feel. And cashews are a good fat. So no guilt over the artery clogging dairy fat! (***to make

It is winter! I know, I know! But this is good! It is yummy and you can always make a warm chocolate sauce to go on top! Warm chocolate can not be heated really hot since a thick chocolate sauce burns if you get above 100 degrees!And there fore I rationalize sharing ice cream with you!1 5.3 oz bar Green & Black's Organic 72% dark backing chocolate, melted in a double boiler on med. low heat Set

Winter is full on. My body and soul craves soup. Hot soup. I live at 7000 feet and raw just makes me cold! So I add warm foods, spiced tea and soup to my diet.

Really a fall dish, but I can't stop wanting to make it as long as i can find several roma tomatoes, an egg plant and a spaghetti squash. Remember it is Utah in my world. Where oh where can i find local fresh veggies. Not until late June, my dear girl. June. So, I am guilty of buying what Whole Foods puts out in the produce section. All of which comes from California, Mexico, Florida and then
