Hi Everyone! It has been a looooong time since I have written in my blog. Due to major life changes I managed to let my writing and blog fall off the map. It’s been years since I’ve posted on here and the thought of that really makes me sad. My goals for this site stemmed…
Super Power Balls: the most amazing raw treats EVER!
I came across this recipe on Helene’s Kitchen and whipped up a batch, well two 🙂 My son isn’t a big fan of goji berries (yet), so I made a batch for him with raisins which turned out to be fabulous! Goji Berry Super Power Balls Raisin Super Power Balls This recipe is so so easy…
Raw Vegan Sushi
I stumbled across this recipe on Choosing Raw. When I had previously gone on an all raw diet, one of the things I missed was my veggie sushi. When I saw it in the store, I almost grabbed a pack, but wait it’s not raw! Almost…… if only there was no rice. When frequenting my…
Interview: Raw Foodie takes on FOX’s MasterChef
Helene Leeds of Baldwin, Maryland made her way to the 15 contestants out of the over 30,000 applicants from across the U.S. It was her Saffron Risotto with Burdock wrapped Scallops that became the talk of the show during week two, when judge Joe Bastianich tossed it into the trash and Gordon Ramsey referred to…
Baltimore Woman’s Classic 2012
My first time participating in the BWC was in 2011. The Baltimore Women’s Classic is an all female race that raises money for the awareness of gynecological cancer. Last year, the BWC was just my second race ever and prior to it, I had sustained an injury which kept me off the pavement for several weeks. It wasn’t…

If you read my post on my dinner with raw food guru David Wolfe, then you already know how great the Black Olive and The Olive Room are. Known actor Woody Harrelson, is not just a vegan,…
Make your own vitamin water
Stop spending money on those fancy waters that you find in the stores and make your own. Today, I whipped up some orange, lemon flavored water. So simple to make, yummy to drink, and high in vitamin C! Not to mention, the cancer fighting agents found in the pith. You can make any water of…
Dinner with David Wolfe
I know, I know you are jealous right now. Don’t be. I was fortunate enough to attend a private dinner with raw food guru David Wolfe, but my opportunity to speak with him was just about nonexistent. Sure, I could have, with enough effort and forcefulness, made an adequate attempt to carry a conversation with…
How I kicked the flu in 24 hours
I’m not sure if I ever really had the flu before and if I have, it’s been quite some time. With the constant badgering from the government to get flu shots via commercials and other advertisements, it’s a wonder that people share a common fear of the dreaded flu. I am anti-vaccine (a conversation we…
Mayim Bialik of ‘The Big Bang Theory’ on her book, work, and vegan lifestyle
Depending on your age, you might remember her as a young Bette Midler of the 1989 film, “Beaches”. It was during my adolescent years of 1990-1995, that I watched Mayim as the star of the hit show Blossom. And if you are of a younger generation (or just hadn’t seen either of the previously mentioned), you…
