In which Greg goes vegan and lowers his blood pressure

October 30, 2008 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

My husband Greg is officially done with his trial of the Eat to Live diet. I’ve tried that diet twice and lasted less than a week both times. He tried it and stayed on it for six weeks. The man is amazing. And I’m not just saying that because he can eat an entire raw [...]

Orthorexia and raw food

October 28, 2008 by hollie In The News

Somehow I stumbled upon the news that 20/20 recently did a piece on orthorexia and raw food. Orthorexia isn’t something a lot of people have heard of. It’s a disorder in which people become unhealthfully obsessed with eating healthy food. The term was coined by Steven Bratman (his website is here), a doctor in Colorado [...]

Addendum to Corn Crackers: CUT CORN FROM COB.

October 20, 2008 by hollie Recipes

I was just reading the comments to my last post, and happened to scroll down to the recipe, and realized I left out the all-important step of cutting the corn off the cob (and throwing out the cobs).
Some of you will be thinking, “What kind of a moron does she think I am?”, while others [...]

Strange but tasty raw-food corn crackers

October 20, 2008 by hollie Recipes

Raw foods are something I’ve been getting into over the last year or so. I’m a big fan of raw food blogs (like The Sunny Raw Kitchen), and fascinated by stories of personal transformation through raw foods (like Angela Stokes). It might seem strange that someone like me, so personally hostile to all things vegetable, [...]

I decided to go off sugar.

October 16, 2008 by hollie Weight Loss

Remember the caramel apple incident? Of course you do, it was my last post. Well, after I made up that batch of caramel apple dip, what I didn’t say was that I ate some. I sat there in my chair dipping apple slices until I realized I was eating so much sugar I was probably [...]

Lesson learned today: check ingredients

October 13, 2008 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

I was all excited to post a REAL RECIPE today, I’ve been completely lax on talking about what yummy vegan food I’ve been cooking, because, well, I haven’t. Greg has had a cold, and my son has been on that edge of getting one while my daughter just went ahead and caught the croup early, [...]

I had some bacon. But I didn’t inhale.

October 12, 2008 by hollie Going Vegan

For Janine’s last day in Ellensburg we went to a pancake house for breakfast. I’d had a cinnamon roll when I got up this morning, which was like eight different kinds of bad. First of all, it had a ton of sugar, which is bad for anyone’s breakfast, but much worse for me, who suffers [...]

It’s me. Eating soup. I know, right?

October 11, 2008 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

We went to The Valley Cafe today, and I got a cup of pumpkin soup. For some reason, and I blame this on being tired, I handed the phone to my friend Janine and said, “Take a picture of me eating the soup for my food blog!”, because for some reason I thought this would [...]

Am I a supertaster?

October 10, 2008 by hollie Weight Loss

I know what you’re thinking, “Of course you’re a superstar!”
No, SUPER TASTER. Yeah, I keep reading it wrong too. But thanks anyway.
On a BBS I’m on, someone posted about an unfortunate friend who is allergic to a painfully long list of foods, including things as seemingly innocuous as celery. “Oh man, that’s really rough,” [...]
