Yesterday I had the most amazing durian experience. I can now officially say that I LOVE durian. My son complained the whole ride home from the Asian market that I was buying it again. I told him that I was going to open it outside, eat it outside and compost the shell right away so [...]

Fun with my dehydrator
By Neven Jones in Raw FoodsI have been using my dehydrator a lot lately, which is very unusual for me. I’ve had it for about 8 months and have barely used it. I’ve made juice pulp crackers a few times and used it to marinate vegetables, but that’s about it. When I bought my dehydrator I thought that I would [...]

I need more GREENS!
By Neven Jones in Raw FoodsIt’s summertime and for most of North America that means enjoying longer days in the warm sunshine and shopping at the farmer’s market. I love the Summer, but I miss the variety of greens that I enjoy in the Fall, Winter and Spring. In San Antonio it is way too hot in the summer to [...]

Transitioning to a raw vegan diet
By Neven Jones in Raw FoodsI’ve stopped eating fish. When I look at a fish I don’t see food, I see a living being that I don’t want to eat. I knew this day would come soon because the last few times I ate fish, I didn’t enjoy it like I used to. I’ve been slowly cutting out animal products [...]

Trying durian for the first time
By Neven Jones in Raw FoodsA few weeks ago I tried durian for the first time. Durian, also known as “the king of fruits”, grows in tropical climates and is native to Indonesia and Malaysia. Some say it smells like stinky gym socks, rotten eggs and sulfur. Although it has a reputation for being stinky, it’s also known for being [...]

Staying raw at the Canadian Grand Prix
By Neven Jones in Raw FoodsI was in Montreal this past weekend with some friends for the Canadian Grand Prix. I loved watching the F1 race, but let’s face it raw food is hard to come by at most sporting events. It was a three day event so on the first day I took a few apples, a banana, raisins [...]

Day 21 100% raw-ish
By Neven Jones in Cravings, Raw FoodsAs you can tell from my title I’m not 100% raw anymore. I have been craving salmon for the past week and a few days ago I finally gave in and had some for lunch. This is the longest I have ever gone without eating fish so I don’t think my body is used to [...]

Day 9 eating 100% raw
By Neven Jones in Raw FoodsIt’s day 9 and I love being 100% raw so much that I don’t want to count the days anymore. When we count the days either we want something to end or we are waiting for something to start. I’m happy the way things are. I’ll keep count just for the 30 days while I’m [...]
