Bitter, but subtly sweet

2010-04-09T15:06:00.000-04:00

In a past post, I mentioned that the Peruvian Sun-dried Salt-free Olives from Natural Zing were a perfect blank canvas for both savory and sweet. Thanks to Jeff's recipe, I enjoyed a zucchetti (my term for spiralized zucchini) tossed with an olive/tomato pate. So, you've already got the savory. How does one make these sweet? I recalled how Jeff once showed me how to make an olive taste like

"Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush"

2010-04-02T21:45:00.000-04:00

When I was a child, I loved to skip around to that nursery song with my friends. Although I had no idea what a mulberry was at the time, it was fun. I never had the chance to try one until I reached the age of adulthood (although still a kid at heart). Unfortunately, my first taste of them was not at all what I expected. Therefore, it took a bit for me to jump for joy (don't worry; it resulted

Hosting a raw Country BBQ is as easy as pie

2010-03-25T12:27:00.000-04:00

Ever think about hosting a raw vegan barbecue? Although most people wouldn't think of putting "raw vegan" and "barbecue" in the same sentence, Jackie and Gideon Graff of "The Sprout Cafe" make preparing food for the event easy as pie, like this slice I whipped up after viewing their DVD (Thank you Natural Zing for sending a copy my way; check out the yummy pie recipes Jeff and Helen posted back

Olive Natural Zing!

2010-03-16T11:38:00.000-04:00

Leave it to me to come up with a title like that; if you say it really fast, it almost sounds like, "I love Natural Zing," doesn't it? I guess you could also focus on the "live" part (of O-"live"), as the company is a big part of the owners' lives. When I first met them at the Washington D.C. Green Festival a couple years back, I was surprised to find out that this online store was run by such

No nuts in this lunch

2010-03-11T11:26:00.000-05:00

In my last post, I talked about gluten, providing you with a fun raw cupcake recipe, which was naturally gluten-free. However, it was loaded with nuts, another increasingly common allergy. When I was a little kid, the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich (as well as this old school lunchbox I wouldn't dare send my child's lunch in today) was all the rage. It was a staple in most lunches.
