I absolutely love autumn in Southern CA! The warm days, balmy breezes, empty beaches, ripe Persimmons and spectacular Sunsets. It’s still Bikini weather here! Every Fall I become obsessed with baking. Which is funny, because I’m a raw vegan. So I’m not much of a baker! But this Fall I surprised myself by making some […]

My favorite place to spend the last days of summer every year is in Seattle. Sunny warm days, sweet blackberries, huckleberries, wild Greens and spectacular sunsets! It’s wonderful to be with friends and family in the beautiful forest I grew up in. It was so nice to gorge on sun ripened Blackberries and make extra […]

Here are some of the fruits, veggies and greens my friends and I were eating this summer in Hawaii! Rollinia, a white fleshed creamy fruit is especially delicious. It’s one of my favorites and very unusual looking! Tons of Papayas, lots of Mangos, Jackfruit comes and goes throughout the year, as do Sapotes and Guavas. […]

Aloha! It’s been fabulous spending June, July and August in Hawaii. Especially since I’ve never experienced summer here before. It’s been very mild so far. Not too hot or humid! Luckily I got to eat a lot of Lychees, Jackfruit and grow a lot of yummy organic Microgreens for extraordinary Green Smoothies and Salads.  And […]

Hi everybody! It’s my first July in Hawaii. I’ve usually avoid spending summers here because of the heat and humidity make my sunscreen melt off. But this year it’s not too hot!! It’s been very mild. Yay!! I’ll be here for August too. Check out these gorgeous tropical Hibiscus flowers. I didn’t know they hibiscus came […]

Aloha from Hawaii! Usually I spend the summer in Southern California but this summer I’m back in Hawaii, enjoying the summer fruits like Lychee, Mangoes, Papayas, Mountain Apples and White Sapotes. And of course endless Pineapples. Costco usually has the best, sweetest Pineapples for only $3.00! Oranges and Lemons seem to be in season a […]

We just got back from a SUPER fun exciting road trip to Las Vegas! It’s easier than you think to stay raw vegan on a road trip too.  Before we left, I made a TON of fresh Veggie Juices, Green Juices, and Smoothies. Plus I bought a lot of Pineapples and Jackfruit to cut up […]

Hi everybody! I’m delighted with all the wild Greens I have growing right now. I lucked out and got to harvest a bunch of wild Stinging Nettles, which are incredibly nutritious. Also gorgeous and flashy Magenta Lamb’s Quarter. I juiced, dried and replanted all of them like crazy! So I’m overjoyed to have a small patch of Nettles and the Lamb’s […]

I spent a super fun day with a friend at the LA Arboretum and hiking around Devil’s Gate Dam. The arboretum and botanical gardens are beautiful, enormous and full of peacocks and fascinating trees, flowers and plants.  This giant Red Mustard was really impressive and I absolutely have to start growing this and the gorgeous […]

It was wonderful to see so many people […]
