Fruit King

Today was Fruit King day! For those of you who don’t already know, The Fruit King is like a giant garage sale for fruits and veggies!! If you live in Corpus Christi consider making a trip here part of your regular week’s schedule…seriously! We’ve found that it can be hit or miss…as JR would say, …

More crazy days…

It’s already been over a week since I last blogged! Just when I feel like I’m getting in a routine, life gets crazy again! Well, I have news about our “raw month journey”…it’s over. Yes, it’s true, we decided to break our “one exception raw food commitment”. Honestly, I didn’t plan well.  In my excitement …

Another exception already…really?

John Ryan and I spent most of yesterday anticipating a very special event!! Some of our favorite two people got married..finally!!!  Stephen and Sara are like our “fun all the time” friends…you know how some people can make any place or activity seem like the coolest thing ever? Well, that’s them, and we love spending …

3rd day and exception #1….

This morning was a busy one for me…mentally. Time and mental energy for food preparation may prove to be my greatest challenge in this “raw” business! I find that once I get started on a kick, it has the potential to consume my thoughts entirely! I’m constantly thinking about what I can make next and …

Day 2…..

I was hungry ALL day!! Jr was too! I don’t know how much of this is mental, but I felt like I was never full no matter how many nuts, raisins, and fruit I ate!! Well, the good thing is, we’re shrinking our stomachs and getting a ton of nutrients all at the same time…it’s …

Why not try a little raw action?

As most of you know, John Ryan and I have been doing the vegetarian thing since January 1st of this year….the first month was a little challenging (I had to experiment with things I’d never worked with before!), but so far I can honestly say we have LOVED it! We both feel great and the …

Ravioli03

Homemade Ravioli….

I usually have Tuesdays off, but it’s very are that I have nothing on my calendar. Last Tuesday was special so I decided to try something new with my free time! Homemade ravioli! I looked for general ravioli dough ingredients online and then kind of played around with my own.  It was fun! I made …

Chocolate cake 2a

Vegan Valentine!!

I have ZERO pictures of this incredible brownie cake, so you’ll have to use your imagination (as you did with those awesome beans!)….but I have to say that I truly believe, and John Ryan agrees with me, that this is the all-time best brownie/chocolate cake recipe!! The truth is…it’s a brownie, but it’s advertised as …

The best pot of beans EVER!!!

So, here’s the story… John ryan and I were having dinner with some friends and I needed to make a pot of beans to take over with us. I searched online for an awesome recipe and found one that looked promising. These beans took about 20 minutes total and they were a major hit! But …
