The last time I made creamed corn with basil, I already had one cob scraped. Too late to go back but I grabbed my camera and recorded the rest of the process. I know a lot of you out there know how to “cream” corn when cutting it off the cob but some of you [...]

This is literally a step by step photo recipe that progresses from the raw ingredients to the finished product. I’m posting the pictures but I won’t be commenting unless it’s necessary. THEY say a picture is worth a thousand words. That means this post is worth about 18,000.

One note here—after cleaning the outer [...]

My forum friend, Shari, declares her cantaloupe/spinach smoothie tastes like a vanilla milkshake. I can’t agree on that one but they are sweet and good and, if you add a dash of vanilla, it might more resemble one. To learn how to make one, press on!

Labor Day has to have some special eats and mine was no different. I spent the day at home with Twinkle doing laundry. (I did the laundry—I can’t get Twinkle to do anything she doesn’t want to.) When I was at BiLo the day before, I had gotten two beautiful portobello/portabello/portabella mushrooms. None of the [...]

I’d been eating 100% raw food for barely over five months when Thanksgiving came up. You know what that means. Killing the fatted tofu chicken or fake turkey roll. Those options were lost to me. During DD’s 34 days of eating raw, she made her own version of Joel of rawlifeline’s Un “Meatloaf”. Inspired by [...]

Grasseater Woman posted a recipe for coconut ice cream in Sumptuous Feasts. I had all the ingredients so I was the guinea pig for the forum. I didn’t go exactly by the recipe so I’m taking the liberty of calling this one my own.

This is on my recipe page as well as on a post from a long time ago. It’s delicious and so refreshing on a hot summer day! I have a half bushel of mangos (Kent and Keitt) ordered from Robert is Here. I hope they make it here tomorrow. I’m completely out of the last [...]
