Dr. Oz suggests raw food

January 5, 2010 by hollie In The News

The Dr. Oz website has a whole section on raw foods, called The Raw Food Challenge, designed to help you transition to a raw foods diet. I’m floored. After the last few years of listening to mainstream news talk about how crazy those raw foodists are (It’s all an eating disorder! Enzymes aren’t necessary!), here’s [...]

Happy New Year everyone!

December 31, 2009 by hollie Going Vegan

I hope everyone is going to have an awesome evening! I’m at home with the guys and the kids, enjoying a quiet evening. I dislike crowds and traffic, so staying home tonight is actually a nice treat. We’re going to watch some fireworks on the TV pretty soon, and until then I was reading some [...]

Kale chips are making me fat

October 12, 2009 by hollie Raw Foods

In the last 7 weeks I’ve gained 7 pounds. Yes, we can do the math, but let’s just say it out loud, shall we? That’s A POUND A WEEK. Every time I step on the scale I wonder what the heck is going on. Since we moved to Seattle I’ve definitely been eating more junk [...]

Sweet potato chips not so chippy

September 9, 2009 by hollie Raw Foods

I tried the sweet potato chips from The Sunny Raw Kitchen blog today (great blog!), and it’s been almost 9 hours and they’re still bendy. They taste like they want to be good, but they just can’t manage it. I’m about to go to bed, so I guess I’ll just leave them in overnight? Which [...]

How to make delicious kale chips in the dehydrator

September 9, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

Okay, confession time: I’m currently on my fourth batch of these. I like them better than bacon. BETTER THAN BACON. Even while I know I could end up the product of broken home after this, abandoned by Greg and Jason, scorned by my family, but it’s true! I can’t deny it! They are freaking delicious.
I [...]

Some pretty incredible raw food transformations

September 9, 2009 by hollie Inspiration

When you read about people who start eating a raw food diet, the amazing thing is how a lot of them don’t just lose weight, they actually seem to reverse in age, and GLOW. Right now I think the most famous example is Angela Stokes, who lost about 160 pounds. Her story was on CNN, [...]

Dehydrator cookies for the win!

June 17, 2009 by hollie Food and Recipe Reviews

Here’s the result from my dehydrator cookie experiment. They’re surprisingly good! I miss the oaty taste that you have with baked cookies, so I might try adding some oats next time. There is a light note of flax flavor (unsurprisingly with 4 tablespoons of ground flax seed), which will take a little bit of getting used [...]

Dehydrator cookies, and lessons in problem-solving

June 16, 2009 by hollie Food and Recipe Reviews

I’ve noticed I have this tendency to solve a problem by solving EVERY OTHER PROBLEM AT THE SAME TIME. For instance, if the living room is a mess (thanks to my two little minnows who swim through the house leaving a whirlpool of destruction behind them), a normal person might think, “You know, we need [...]

The joys of juice for breakfast

May 25, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

This is what I juiced for breakfast this morning: an entire head of romaine, a lemon, two small apples, four stalks of celery, and a chunk of ginger.
I’ve been having this (or a slight variation) most mornings since I got my juicer, and I’ve noticed a few things changing. My taste for vegetables has increased [...]

Raw foods turn your brain to iron, and make you hawt

May 13, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

I’m on a couple email lists for raw foods, and in one recent discussion someone mentioned Anthony Anderson, whose website www.rawmodel.com chronicles his modeling career, as well as his dietary transformation to raw foods. I checked out his site, and of course, checked him out, and may I just say to Mother Nature, good work. Besides being, [...]
