Young and Raw

Who says you have to ditch the sushi rolls to be healthy? Crowd pleasing, mouth watering and super fun to make sushi rolls sans rice, sans fish and full of living nutrients. Down here in Sayulita we take every opportunity to host friends and introduce them to new and healthy or cooked cuisine. Kevin from [...]

Have a Jicama lying around and don’t know what to do with it? Try this recipe that we made with our friends Kevin from Wild Body Wellness and Alissa from We Are Wildness we’re out here in Sayulita Mexico. Honestly, I wasn’t sure how this would turn out… we combined some pretty interesting things together. Well it [...]

Have you ever tried Jicama? It’s really good and very diverse! Being in Mexico at the moment, we’ve had to come up with new creative ideas to stay healthy and use the local vegetables at hand. A common snack out here is cubed jicama, tossed in a bit of chili powder, salt and lime juice. [...]

  A high raw meal consists of mostly raw foods with one or more elements being cooked. We chose to integrate sprouted and cooked quinoa to this delicious bowl of seasonal fruits & veggies for a scrumptious new experience for our taste buds. Nutritionally, you have a healthy balance of good fats, plant-based proteins and [...]

This past weekend was my Baby Sisters birthday (Happy Birthday again Sister!) and to celebrate, we took the trek to “Cafe By Tao” in North Vancouver.  We ate many very tasty dishes, one of which was a raw sushi dish.  This sushi roll was stuffed with what they called a “Sea Pate,” which was made [...]

  Pizza day at your house? Whether you’ll be making this for the whole family, or eating it by yourself I can promise you it’s a rewarding experience. We have to remember that the brain makes powerful associations to food when it comes to pleasure and happiness. Our brains are literally wired to jump for [...]

These simple empanadas can easily be turned into a salad, and since you’ll have left over macadamia filling you can make this recipe once and create multiple wraps or salads through out the week. Generally we consume a lot of fruits through out the day as our main calorie source, so our bodies dont let us [...]

If you’ve eliminated un-sprouted grains from your diet for any reason, whether it be that you have celiac, you’re trying to lose weight or just because you’re a raw foody then it’s possible you might still experience those pesky cravings for something bread like, a sandwhich perhaps? I love having sandwiches so I created an [...]

This raw vegan noodle dish was a real breeze to make. While I’ll admit sometimes I go into the kitchen with not a clue what I’m about to make, it always seems to turn out pretty well. It’s funny, I actually intended on making a red pepper cream sauce when out of no where I [...]
