sharing raw, vegan recipes and advice

I've really been craving my mother's tuna noodle casserole lately (my childhood fave), and figured I could make something at least somewhat similar. This recipe was really pretty easy and didn't even take as long to make the real thing! All I used was a blender (blendtec) and the Joyce Chen spiral slicer set on wider setting (the opposite of the angel hair like pasta setting). You could even make the "noodles" using a plain old veggie peeler. You can also substitute mushrooms for the cubed zucchini in this recipe, and the sauce could be used all by itself as a dip! I will say, I never really measure anything and I feel this recipe should be made to each persons taste. Hope you enjoy!

With it being the dead of winter and all, I’ve been doing my best to stay warm during the cloudy rainy days. This can be especially difficult if your diet consists of mostly raw foods, so its good to supplement with foods and spices that having a warming tendency for the body. The three C’s of warming spices are cinnamon (dalchini), cardamom (elichee), and clove (laung). In my opinion, the best way to combine these heat makers is to make a nice cup of warm chai. The smells and tastes of these aromatic spices are just the thing for that cold day gloom, and are also great for your health. To go along with the chai, I’ve included a recipe for a delicious snack to enjoy, which I’m going to call chai cookie cakes. Enjoy it!
