Chico Bags New Blossom Collection
Posted by admin on 02 24th, 2011
I love Chico Bags! They are my reusable bag of choice. Someday I plan on having some made with my business name on them “Vegan Family Style”. Until then I enjoy using the variety of styles and prints that Chico sells on their website as well as a many retail establishments.
I love their new collection “Blossom“. I love the flowers and pretty spring colors. They hold up to 40 lbs making them the perfect shopping bag.
Everytime I use my Chico Bags when I go shopping I get comments from the cashiers and baggers. I keep a basket in the car with my bags in them. I throw the basket in my shopping cart so that I am always ready but each bag has a little spring loaded clip so you can attach them to a key ring, purse strap, belt loop etc.. (more…)
Absolutely Abeba’s Edible Treats
Posted by admin on 02 14th, 2011
Introducing another great book from my friend Abeba! Absolutely Abeba’s Edible Treats Introducing More Krazy Krackers and Kookies without Nuts. We are in love with Abeba’s krazy krackers! When I heard she had a book with more krazy kracker recipes and kookies too! I had to jump in for another review.
Everything looks delicious.. We have tried a variety of Abeba’s krackers (she sent me some samples) oh my goodness… so good. My 16 year old son almost ate them all. Then I came home and made more from her recipes.. We loved every recipe we tried. You will not be disappointed with any recipe from Abeba. The kookies in this book are made nut free for those who are allergic or those who are wanting to avoid a lot of nuts in their diets. Click HERE to see some videos of Abeba and her krackers. (more…)

Posted by admin on 02 13th, 2011
This week I watched 2 video demonstrations from Hot Chefs, Cool Kitchen. The teacher for these demo’s was Cherie Soria. I was so impressed by her teaching skills that I can’t wait to learn more from her again. I wish I could afford to go to Living Light Culinary Institute and take her raw chef course. I would be in raw food heaven! (more…)
Raw Fusion by LindaJoy Rose
Posted by admin on 01 30th, 2011
I am very excited about this book- Raw Fusion “Better Living Through Living Foods” by LindaJoy Rose, Ph.D. This book emphasizes a lifestyle I have been sharing with others for a while now- melding the raw food diet with the cooked vegan diet in a healthy way. Mixing the best of both worlds. I am an advocate of the high raw diet. When we eat a cooked meal- the mixing of raw foods with the most nutritious cooked foods- that will digest easily is the best way to go. Raw Fusion will teach you how to do just that. It is chock full of information. I feel it should be the first raw food book a person gets. It will help you get through the transition. Raw Fusion Recipes is another great book- full of amazing recipes. Click HERE to check out 2 Raw Fusion meal quick hits.
From Raw Fusion “Raw Fusion is a hybrid of the best of the raw foods world, intermingled with an informed and conscious mainstream lifestyle. Individuals who find a high raw diet too limiting can find ways to integrate more variety into their meals without compromising nutrition. High raw foodists seeking healthy ways to add cooked foods into their diets will enjoy the versatility and variety of these tips. Families or individuals accustomed to more mainstream meals, but searching for tasty and convenient ways to increase their nutritional intake, will be surprised at how effortlessly one can fuse more raw ingredients into meals.” (more…)

We are huge Isa Chandra Mosokowitz fans here. We have all of her books. I was so excited when Da Capo Press emailed me about reviewing her new book. A book on low-fat vegan recipes- fast and filling not to mention tastes great! They all look so good.. One of our faves is the Lettuce wraps with hoison and mustard tofu. Yum!
