Raw Holiday e-book is now available

Drum roll please...

I have just birthed something really amazing! I am the blushing new mommy of my very first e-book! So... yes, I am wee bit proud. Can you tell?

I totally enjoyed pulling Chef Judd Faircloth out of his “cooked kitchen world” for his very first entirely raw Thanksgiving spread that Vintage Magazine asked us to do. Well that got the ball rolling and we've been on a raw food holiday kick ever since.

This lifestyle & recipe book is proof that there is heat in raw kitchens. *wink* Combining professional tips without forgetting the “beginners mind”, this book is sure to spice up your kitchen life regardless of your level of raw food expertise.

It's a fun approach to enjoying the holidays with fellowship and love in the kitchen! Click the above book cover or this link for more details: http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/raw-holiday---heat-up-with-raw-food/7860318

Hippie Popcorn

One of my favorite children's book is finally out at the movies this weekend and everyone in my house is craving POPCORN! I thought I'd share a fun recipe that we're including in our upcoming kid snack series of ebooks. A friend shared this with me in the early Bee Green days and we've all loved it ever since!

Put your popcorn in a brown bag and pump a few sprays of Bragg's Liquid Aminos. Then dust in Kelp Granules and Nutritional Yeast Flakes. Close bag and give it a good shimmey shimmey shake! You may want to reapply if it's not coated to your likings.
