Hippy Mom, this blog is beautiful…
haha, thank you!
this food looks so good! I am not a strictly raw eater but this is inspiring. Best "raw food" thing I've had is kale pineapple salad with lemon coconut oil dressing and red pepper flakes and maybe sesame seeds were in there too-very good. The lemon "cooks" the kale, it is sweet, spicy and great textures/tooth.
sounds good!
