Raw Vegan Tacos!!!!! Ay Chihuahua!

Sometimes I really do just crave eating things raw. Eating raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc is beneficial due to maintaining the nutrition value in food 100%. The taste of raw foods is so light and refreshing! Adding heat to food through cooking does deplete some health value in the foods that you eat. Consuming only raw foods for a period of time does increase energy levels as well. There are many great ideas out there in the raw food world. Here is one that is simple, entertaining and delicioso!

Curried Corn & Chard Soup


Eating local, organic, seasonal, and unrefined foods is a way of life for me, and for obvious reasons, summer makes eating a rainbow of foods not only possible, but oh so delicious! I must say that I feel pretty spoiled living here in Northern California, there are multiple farmer's markets just about every day, overflowing with the most gorgeous vegetables, fragrant herbs, and succulent fruits a gal could ask for. The farmer's markets also offer the opportunity to taste some the local food crafters goods, ie; artisinal breads, jams and jellies made from locally grown fruit, and fresh goat cheese from local goats. Actually, the thought of those 3 foods together is making me salivate a little... Even though in California, we do have an extended growing season for lots of varieties of fruits and vegetables, I am of the mind that if something you love to eat is in season, you better gorge enjoy yourself! And so we come to corn! The hubby and I have been doing our part to keep the local farmers in the black with our corn consumption. While the corn here is pretty delicious, I must say, it does seem to pale in comparison to the juicy, sweet corn we get back east, I know, I know, boo hoo for me.
