Coffee, Olive Oil, and Hot Sauce

Whenever I hear The Word and it’s on the topics of food or eating, I pay a little extra attention. What can I say? I like food!

Here’s a quick vegan recipe for oats with excellent texture.

Fill container 2/3 full of old-fashioned oats,
add coconut/almond/oat milk to just above the oats,
microwave no more than 1 minute (important),
add fruit preserves, dark brown sugar, and more “milk.”

This is my first week of entirely raw eating.

About a year ago, I started eating vegan—as if that wasn’t enough of a challenge! Now I’m eating raw.

When I went to the grocery store on Wednesday, I bought a few things I could cook, but I’m trying not to cook them. Mostly, I bought fruit and vegetables. Call it an experiment because I’m not really sure how it will go, and I want to have a backup plan in case I get “crazy hungry.”
