Was craving a zippy broccoli soup -- this is what I came up with. The jalapeno pepper and garlic give it some kick, so reduce the amounts if you prefer a more bland taste. Dehydrated mushrooms add a nice chewy texture -- but fresh mushroom work well too.

This is the juice to make when you have severe insomnia (like I do) but can't catch up with your sleep because you have a lot to study for AND a speech to rehearse (like I do) and are developing a headache or migraine (like I am - NO! WAS!).

I find that with this juice, which I'm drinking right now, the carotenoids are easily absorbed for a great enzyme boost, so there's some nice energy there, and the ginger is keeping those nasty prostaglandins at bay, helping to cure my headache! I'M READY FOR THE DAY!

Down with over-the-counter mumbo jumbo they all call medicine! Nature is the way! Right on!

I wanted a savory but quick RAW lunch today and came up with this recipe. The Sesame sauce is a variation of Sarma's sesame sauce from her book. It turned out delicious and is definitely something I will be making again and experimenting with the different veggie noodles!

Everyone loves a rainbow, and this one you can eat! For this salad I tried to combine all the colours I possibly could. For this recipe and many more raw vegan ideas, visit my blog: http://shanghaimonkey.blogspot.com.
