RAW Living and Learning

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is a web site that I am so grateful for. I found it years ago when I was converting the family over to a vegetarian/plant-based/almost vegan lifestyle. The wealth of information on this site just has to be shared! To get started you can snoop around their home page .   Want some delicious recipes to get you started? Check out this page .   Need a locator to find vegan restaurants in your area?   Have children and want to get them on the vegan path?

In my previous post I said I would share my recipe for these yummy vegan sushi wraps. They are as simple as cutting, smashing, spreading and rolling. To start I finely sliced some organic white cabbage, diced an organic sweet onion and smashed a clove or two of garlic.    The next step is to smash one small Haas avocado with the fresh garlic, using the back of a fork. This will be the spread for the Nori sheets. We have organic Nori at the local Whole Foods but I prefer to order Raw Nori wraps on-line. Here are the ones I have to buy locally when I run out of my raw wraps. Take a sheet of Nori and spread on a thin layer of the avocado and garlic. Now the fun begins, just start piling on your favorite toppings. I personally used sunflower greens Fresh cilantro Organic Grape tomatoes, diced The shredded white cabbage and dice onion Lastly, roll it up and enjoy!   +JMJ+ Today I am grateful for completing my garage cl...

"Just say no to bread on drugs." This is what it says on the label of Dave's Killer organic Good Seed Spelt bread. Allow me to tell you the story of how I found this bread. I was reading a blog post about better options for breads and even some gluten free breads. So I began clicking on all of the different bread links that this blogger was describing and the only one that stood out was Dave's! It is not a gluten free bread but an organic spelt bread loaded with seeds. First I scoured the ingredients list, next I snooped all around their web site, and lastly I clicked on the link to Dave's story. Here is the link for you to enjoy. http://www.daveskillerbread.com/daves-story/video.html I was bawling half way into the video and cried again when I watched it the second time with my hubby. His story is so beautiful and so inspirational that I just had to contact them and tell them just that. I also was so bold as to ask for a sample of their spelt bread so our fa...
