If you haven’t been tuned in this week, Steve Prussack from Raw Vegan Radio has been hosting Rawpolooza. Steve has been interviewing some of the most interesting people in the Raw Food Movement, and making it available to us to listen to via phone or web from the comfort of your own home. This event is available to everyone, and so far has been amazing to listen to. We are into day three, and this event goes until Monday. If you are interested in hearing real people talk about this lifestyle and their experiences, this is a great event to check out!

Good Afternoon,
If you live in the Vancouver area, you may be interested in the FREE screening of the Queen of the Sun documentary. This film is all about the vanishing of the bees, and what we can do to help them from becoming extint. Without bees, we wouldn’t have fresh fruits, vegetable and honey! How could you live without these amazing foods??
Check out the trailer here: http://www.queenofthesun.com/
Screening is tomorrow, January 24th @ 6pm at the Vancouver Public Library – 901 C St., Downtown Vancouver
Hope to see you there!!

I recently made Ani Phyo’s Raspberry Ganache Fudge Cake, and I have to share! It was SO yummy, and so easy to make, and best of all not full of refined sugars, so kinda healthy 🙂

I divided the dough into six balls and made three mini cakes, which can be handed out as gifts, which is a nice healthy treat for the holidays.
Hope you enjoy!

Okay, so I have recently discovered the best lip balm EVER, and I have to share!!
I have been a lip balm connoisseur since the first time I went to the Body Shop in grade 6, and I feel like I have tried all lip balms out there. I have found ones that I like, and others that made my lips chapped (?!), and now I have found my very fave. It’s Hurraw!
Hurraw is a all natural organic vegan/raw lip balm company, which uses the finest ingredients in their products. Their flavours are so much fun, I need to try them all 🙂 Right now I am using their cinnamon flavour, and have also ordered the lime, vanilla and chocolate! Yum! These lip balms glide on your lips like silk, you really don’t wanna stop the application it feels so good! lol Not only are their flavours fun and exciting, the tube is oval shape, which fits the lip better.
If you are looking for an all natural lip balm, or a nice stocking stuffer for x-mas, these will be a real treat for anyone’s lip!

Chemicals. They are everywhere today. We cannot escape them. But I often wonder why is it even acceptable for chemicals to be in our food supply? A few articles have come out in the past week which make me ill, such as allowable limits of arsenic in chicken and tartrazine (which is made from coal-tar derivatives) in our pickles jars (I have included both articles below). Why is this acceptable, and why do we continue to consume these chemicals? Could it be because the general public does not know what the ingredients listed on our food labels actually mean or how they can negatively effect their health? If you have seen the following on your labels, you would be best to avoid them: Allura (red dye), Amaranth, Aspartame, Benzoic acid, Butylated Hydroxy, Calcium benzoate, Calcium sulphite, Monosodium glutamate (MSG), Potassium benozoate, Potassium nitrate, Sodium sulphite, Sulphur dioxide, Tartrazine (yellow dye) to name a few.
Chemicals are purposely added to food to change its color, preserve it, prevent rancidity, keep fats emulsified, and keep foods stable. They can be found in soda, pre-packaged baked treats, sauces, cereals, soups, meat and meat products, canned food, fruit juice, alcohol, candy and fast foods. Most of these added chemicals are synthetic compounds with known negative health effects. Not only should we all avoid these chemicals, but parents should be reading labels to ensure that their children are not ingesting them as well. These added chemicals can cause numerous side effects including, hyperactivity, asthma, nausea, hives, headaches, low blood pressure and allergies, just to name a few. Asthma sufferers should avoid these foods especially, as they can trigger symptoms.

With the growing concern over all the GMO‘s in our soybeans these days, a while back I decided to switch to other milk alternatives (as I have never been a fan of the dairy version). Moving into a high raw diet this year has been an interesting journey, and a great learning experience for me. So a few months back, after putting this off because I thought it would be too much work, I finally bit the bullet and made my own almond milk. And can I just say, I will never go back to the store-bought stuff after this, this is SOO easy to make!
I usually cut this recipe in half, because I don’t go through that much milk at a time. But if I still have some milk left at day five, I just dump it all into my morning smoothie 🙂
Also the almond pulp can be used in a nice bread, cracker or throw it into your morning smoothie, for a little extra protein.
