She runs a very popular and one of the first raw food blogs over here and has quite a few ebooks and books that you might like to check out, as well as an awesome published book called Raw Awakening which if you pre order now, you will also get a FREE copy of her ebook Raw Transitions – perfect for the raw food beginner or trying to introduce more raw food to your family.

So I think it was about time we just had an easy day. With Pat heading off for some of his work (well that’s the reason we are here in the first place), Manus and I headed off to the local Whole Foods in search of some more GREEN JUICE!!! Manus enjoying a Lara bar in the background. And spent at least an hour in the store, just pouring over their goodies: KOMBUCHA!!! Every flavour you can think of. Raw snacks like cakes and cookies and kim chi. And a whole dry stores section dedicated to RAW FOOD. This is what I walked out with but not limited to: Although not raw, this vegan cheese more »

Day 4 included some mandatory tourist stops Like the home of the Academy Awards: Kodak Theatre This was taken 2 days ago of my husband and son. And this photo was taken of me 7 years ago on my first trip to LA Outside Grauman’s Chinese theatre: home to footprints and handprints of movie stars from today and days gone by. Then of course, an obligatory picture with one of the characters on Hollywood Boulevard. Complete coincidence that it was Jack Sparrow Mum was more impressed than Manus. Afterwards we saw two more Johnny Depp characters – the Mad Hatter, and Willa Wonka – amazing costumes. Then it was time to get some afternoon refreshments more »

I am so loving this place so much right now. I am trying to drink in as much as I can in our short stay here, because before we know it, we’ll be outta here, no doubt planning a return ‘dream’ trip back. Day 3 had us lying in for a little bit and eventually leaving the hotel just after lunch to make the trek across town to Santa Monica for a late lunch at Planet Raw. This is only our second raw restaurant we have visited and so far MY favourite! To start with I had BLOOD derived from a dark age spell: the blood of a fuji apple, ginger, lime and red beets more »

Day 1 was spent wandering around Long Beach – where we are staying, in a haze of jet lag, after a 16 hour flight from Dubai which Manus HARDLY slept a wink, just trying to familiarise ourselves with our new home for the next 10 days and to pick up our rental car – we fell asleep by 4pm! Day 2 headed off to Costa Mesa to South Coast Plaza – after being recommended it as a shopping destination by my flight attendant buddies who call Long Beach their second home. Costa Mesa by car is about a 45 min drive away, in Orange County. If you do happen to make it there as a more »

I don’t know too much of what’s going on, other than what friends are posting on facebook and twitter, but needless to say my hearts and prayers go out to everyone that is being effected by the protesting and unrest.

Hey did everyone have a great V day? I’m not one for celebrating it myself (even when I’ve been coupled up – it’s never been a big celebration to me, I’d rather treat those I love, special throughout the whole year) but because I met my lovely husband around Valentines Day 3 years ago, it’s kinda a significant time of year.

Share on FacebookEating Raw | My Food Philosophy | Video
Often I am asked if I ONLY eat raw foods as I am so passionate about bringing more raw foods into both my life and those around me. My thoughts on diet and nutrition are very non judgemental and non biased and I don’t believe the way one person eats, should necessarily be the way everyone should eat to obtain optimal health. I believe there are healthy vegetarians, vegans, and omnivores (meat eaters) just as there are unhealthy ones and the way each person approaches their own diet is very individualised. I speak more about this in the video below, but I would love to hear your thoughts too on your food philosophy for great more »

This is a repost from last year, when I wrote an article for Heather Poole, one of my favourite Flight Attendant Bloggers and also an upcoming author of a tell all book of essays of her experience in the skies over the last 14 years. She asked me to put together a recipe using cherries to coincide with a giveaway of CHERRIES she was doing at the time.

What you may not know is tart cherries contain a significant amount of melatonin.” So if you are like my many flight attendant buddies or just suffer from jet lag every time you travel, you more »

Stick them out in the sun like the olden days or you can even use your oven on the lowest heat setting, with the door ajar. Just keep an eye they don’t burn. I’m leaving these beauties in my dehydrator over night at 110°F then no doubt I’ll have some other incarnation for these sweet smelling ‘maters.

I sometimes wonder if it’s healthy to have such an obsession as I do about a kitchen appliance Tonight I had my 2nd class of Natural Wellness as part of the compound’s Adult Education offerings. Tonight we talked about candidiasis and parasites. Ew, but seriously informative stuff. I’m very keen to do more research on both of these. But onto more delicious blogging.

Years later my dad would occasionally do his major spring clean then sell off (unknownst to her) mum’s LP’s, my favourite cassettes, even his stamp albums only to do it all again a couple of years later after another major cleanout.

Here’s a post I wrote last year but I’ve been asked quite a bit of late, so I thought I’d repost. To juice or to blend, which is better? Have a read and then you can decide. Do you prefer to juice or blend? JUICING Source Juicing is a fantastic way to get a bucketload of nutrients as juicers essentially separate the juice from the fibre of the vegetable and the juicers do the chewing for us, which means the nutrients are delivered faster. Oxidisation is quick however, so it is recommended you drink juices as soon as you have made them or in the very least within a day of making. Different juicers offer more »
