This is a surprisingly delicious salad that is super simple to make and full of nutritional value. (more...)...

I've had that Whitney Houston song stuck in my head all day...
The greatest love of all is happening to me.
I found the greatest love of all inside of me.....
If I should fail, if I succeed,
At least I'll live as I believe....
Because the greatest love of all...
I don't know why it is that songs get stuck in our heads. But as long as this one...
Today's Observations
I am way too happy. Like giddy kind of happy. Like if-I-were-you-I'd-be-suspicious kind of happy. I don't know what is going on with this food I am eating, but I have been giggling all day. I suppose its not a bad problem to have - giggling in the grocery store line, giggling while driving when noone is watching, giggling while sitting in the...
Today's Observations
I'm at the end of week two, and I'm feeling really good. Eating 100% raw gets easier every day. I find that I am satisfied on much less food than I was eating when I fell off the wagon. I'm glad I've challenged myself to make a new recipe each day and I've implemented a morning routine that I love.
Let's run the numbers:
14 days raw
12 new...
Today's Observations
Today was the first day I tried my new morning routine. I got up at 5:30 (the key is to NOT hit the snooze button), took a shower, reminded myself and my body of how good it feels to do sun salutations on my yoga mat (albeit a pretty rusty version of a sun salutation), made a list of the 10 things I am grateful for, and took my regular morning walk. ...
Today's Observations
Today is the first day I feel like I struggled a bit... mostly because - I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record - I did not plan well for the time I was away from the house. I had a gig this afternoon and only had a smoothie before I left the house... with no lunchbox. Of course, around 2:00 I got really hungry and went in search of food. ...
Today's Observations
It's 8:30 PM and I've been going non-stop since 7:30 this morning, including a 10 mile bike ride... with no dip in energy and, in fact, with energy to spare. I like this stuff! I like how it makes me feel.
Today's Menu
An apple and grapes for breakfast.
A garden salad with artichokes and palm hearts from Trader Joe's.
Snacks - banana, grapes,...
Today's Observations
It's 1:30 AM and I got up at 6AM yesterday morning. I guess that's a testament to the energy available to me through raw foods. I'm at the end of Day 5. I've tried 3 new recipes. Lost 3 pounds. And am getting back in the raw groove. Here is what today's raw line-up looked like:

Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive. ~ Howard Thurman

My passion is to inspire people to live with Outrageous Joy and I believe that the health and well-being of our three homes - Heart, Hearth, and Earth - influences our ability to do so. Home - in all its forms - is sacred, and the condition of our Home impacts our soul. It is this idea of creating a healthy, vibrant Home, that connects the dots between Raw Foods, Sustainable Design, and Green Living.
