Our First Raw Dinner With Friends

We had our first raw meal with friends. It turned out to be scrumptious, thanks to Steve’s extraordinary culinary abilities. I made the dessert – Raw Carob Nut Rolls – but even in that, he assisted. Our friends came quite a distance for the meal, and even participated in composing one portion. Actually, that word [...]

The Flavor of Food

Yesterday I had some of our wonderful dehydrated corn crackers with Steve’s home-made hummus. They were so flavorful and vibrant. Then I ate some of the coleslaw he’d made a couple days before. Oh, my. I thought to myself that I had never eaten better tasting food in my life – and that made me [...]

Caveat

We have found out that eating raw and drinking smoothies is not going to heal us of anything if we don’t change our old habits. One of the things that smoothies do is to help break cravings for foods that are not optimum for the body. But we’ve both found out that if we DO [...]

How to Make a Green Smoothie

By Steve Freier I made a video on How to Make a Green Smoothie and posted it on You Tube. Making Green Smoothies is the easiest thing in the world to do!  There is a simple formula. Use 60% fruit and 40% green leafy plant matter such as spinach, kale, carrot greens, beet greens, swiss [...]

A Very Busy Weekend

This past weekend was interesting – my granddaughter came to spend time with us for two days of her winter break, and I always enjoy giving her a relaxing time away from her otherwise hectic schedule. At 13, she is going through the angst and questioning that so many teenagers face. Now that we are [...]

The Green Smoothie Revolution – Healing in a Glass

by Steve Freier Today marks the end of the first week on my Raw Journey.  It started last Saturday when we went to the local Farmer’s Market to buy some Greens.  And what a remarkable week it has been!  Most notably I have experienced the following changes; some expected some not. Major Weight Loss, Increased [...]

Green Smoothies

Yesterday, we drank smoothies and had our crackers throughout the day. By the evening, I really wanted some warm food, and we heated up the leftovers of our stir fry from a few night’s ago. Whereas the first night it did not taste good to me, last night it did. I was cold, and the [...]

Breaking Through

This morning I went into our garage and glanced over at the hot water heater. There was evidence of leakage on the cement floor, and I called the friend who had installed it to find out when he did that. Almost 13 years ago. It had a 10 year warranty, so we had it beyond [...]

The Healing Garden

A friend came yesterday who is knowledgeable about herbs and medicinal uses of flowers and weeds, and it reminded me of a botanist’s description that a weed is a plant whose use we have not yet discovered. Our friend pointed out that our back and front yards, filled with seeming weeds, was a cornucopia of [...]

Connecting the Dots

When Steve and I were finished buying our produce, we were driving home when I had a vision of the whole connectivity of what was happening. I had tried in vain to save my mother’s life, but perhaps I could help make other people aware of the dangers of gluten intolerance. The years I’d spent [...]
