I got back from the gym kind of late last night and needed to put together something for dinner.

Cantaloupe Granita Recipe

Cantalopes are in season during the summer and are sweet and juicy. Making it a perfect canidate for a frozen dessert. Granita is very similar to a sorbet or icy, but its method is different.  Granitas do not require any fancy equiptment to make, all you need is a blender or food processor.  Then the texture is formed by scraping the frozen mixture so it resembles shaved ice.  You can use Basil or Mint or both for this recipe. Both are delicious! This is a guilt free dessert that will surely impress everyone :)

1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons agave or honey

Uncooked CAPONATA over NOODLES or as a DIP- Raw Food Recipe

If you've never tried caponata please give this receipe a try. It is delicious on its own, as a dip or on top of zucchini or kale noodles! The traditional recipe calls for eggplant, but this vegetable does not taste great raw. so i substituted cauliflower. The flavor of my raw caponata tastes almost exactly the same as the cooked version i use to make.  This sauce is tangy, sweet and salty all in one bite and was so yummy over kale noodles. I will be making this over and over again:)

Caponata Sauce
3 cups Tomatoes, diced
2 cups Cauliflower florets, broken in pieces
1/2 cup Red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup Calamata Olives, diced
1/2 cup Raisens soaked in 3T Apple Cider Vinegar

GREEN Smoothie- Green Grape-Peach-Orange-Spinach

Smoothies are a wonderful way to start your morning because they are made with fresh fruit and give your body the right kind of sugar to get you going. Adding greens such as spinach gives you an extra boost of nutrients and vegetable serving without even knowing its there! I love the crisp juicy grapes with the sweet Peaches and the Orange in this green smoothie. Feel free to use coconut water or orange juice instead of water.  Enjoy:)

1 each Orange
1 cup Green Grapes or Red Grapes
1 each Peach
1 cup Water or Juice or Coconut Water
2 cups Spinach

step 1- add all the fruit and water to a blender and puree until smooth

GREEN Smoothie- Papaya-Orange-Banana-Coconut Water-Spinach

I love green smoothies because it is such a great way to get your fruit and vegetables in one serving and it taste great!! I had some papaya left over from a tropical salsa i made the other day, so that was the base for this smoothie.  Fresh coconut water can be found in Asian markets or Wholefoods or you can use cartons of coconut water. Spiach is a mild sweeter green that is less obvious in a smoothie, which makes it perfect for giving to your kids. Give this a try. It makes a delicious on the go breakfast or snack.

1 each Banana, fresh or frozen
1 each Orange, rough chop
Water from 1 young Thai Coconut (about 11 ounces)

Almond Joy Candybar- Raw Food Recipe

It always helps to have a really easy dessert recipe on hand. This candybar recipe can be made days ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator or it can be frozen.  I have always been a fan of the candy bar Almond Joy because of the chocolate and coconut, but never buy it because it is so unhealthy.  This raw version has only four ingredients and really satisfies your sweet tooth!! You can enjoy the bars right after you make them and eat them with a spoon or chill them for at least an hour in the refrigerator or freezer for bars you can hold.

Recipe will make 4 mini Candybars

"Steak" FAJITAS with CHIMICHURRI Sauce- Raw Food Recipe

Chimichurri sauce is a very popular marinade and sauce for meats, especially in Latin America.  It is very fresh tasting because of all the herbs and has a kick from the peppers.  The acid in the sauce is what makes it perfect for marinating your favorite vegetables or meats.  You can make this in the food processor or finely chop everything by hand. I choose the leave out the oil and keep the dish fat free, but you can add some if you want.  I really love my raw tacos, but sometimes you want something a little different.  Serve your fajitas with your favorite toppings and use swiss chard, romaine or collards for your shell.  You can even turn this dish into a hearty salad by chopping your lettuce and adding you toppings. The chimichurri sauce acts as the dressing. Enjoy!!

Chimichurri Sauce
1each Pablano Pepper, chopped
1each Jalapeno, chopped
1c Parsley, chopped
1/4c Basil, chopped
1/4c Cilantro, chopped
3cloves, garlic, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
salt and pepper (optional)

step1- Add all ingredients to food processor and pulse until finely chopped

"Meat"
Portabellos, criminis, shitaki Mushrooms (Any variety will work)
salt (optional)

step 1- Do not salt the mushrooms if you plan on marinating them in the Chimichurri sauce. Otherwise salt them for added texture and flavor.

step 2- Slice your mushrooms and sprinkle salt on both sides of the mushroom.
step 3- toss with your hands and lay the mushrooms out on a paper towel.
step 4- this process will take at least an hour (depends on the thickness of the mushroom) so plan ahead. Pat mushrooms with paper towel every 30 minutes to catch liquid.


Condiments I used- Feel free to put anything you like in your fajita
Swiss Chard as my wrap
Tomatio Salsa
cilantro

GREEN Jalapeno Peach Mango SMOOTHIE- Raw Food Recipe

Nobody likes to waste food, but sometimes you just don't know what to do with it. Well this smoothie is a perfect example. Yesterday i made a batch of jalapeno peach soup and didn't have a chance to enjoy it for dinner, so i thought why not turn it into a green smoothie for breakfast! This is the beautifull thing about eating raw fruts and vegetables, you can turn a soup into a drink and it doesn't sound gross.  I added a fresh mango to the soup to add a little more sweetness to balance out the greens. Feel free to use whatever greens you want or coconut water or orange juice for the water. Perfect way to kick start your day. Enjoy!

Jalapeño Peach Soup- Raw Food Recipe

Peaches are in season now, so take advantage of them now and use them in smoothies, cobblers, and soups!  I wanted to make a cold soup using peaches and thought it would pair nicely with a little jalapeno and some orange juice.  In order to thin the puree to soup consistency i used some sparkling water, which lightened up the soup a bit and made it fun to make. Give this soup a try, it is creamy, cold and tasty and super easy to make!! Feel free to use frozen peaches that have been defrosted, if your making this out of season. Enjoy

Summer time screems cold food.  Most people eat a lot of fruit or have salads, but what about soup? One of the more familar cold soups is gazpacho, which is delicious, but there are sooo many more to choose from. I decided to do a entire week dedicated to cold raw soups. My first recipe is for this mexican corn soup, which is unbeilivably good!!! Corn is in season now and is so sweet and yummy.  The mexican spices pair very nicely with this ingredient.  Feel free to use frozen corn if fresh is not available.  You can even make the Pepper relish as a side dish for a meal..its great on its own, but works well in the soup as added texture and color. Enjoy!

Peach-Cherry COBBLER w/ Mulberry CRUMBLE- RAW Food RECIPE

Nothing like eating a dish made from ingredients so fresh, juicy and in Season! A cobbler is a great dessert to make for company or bring to a picnic or potluck because it is easy to serve. Feel free to any fruit combo you like, but this one is really tasty! Mulberries can be found in a specialty food store like Wholefoods. It is a berry that has been dried and tastes kind of like a chewy golden raisen...really good. When i first tasted them, i thought this would go great as a topping for a cobbler. Well by the time i bought the peaches and they ripened, i barely had enough to make my dish.  Little pricey ($6/ 4oz bag), but good for a treat. I made this early in the day and refridgerated it and had it for dessert after dinner.  You can eat it cold or room temp...good either way.  I even had some left over and it was yummy with breakfast. Thats one of the benifit to eating good healthy food.....you can have dessert for every meal! Enjoy.

Q&A- How Did I get the name RAWFOODFORKIDS ???????

Cherry Banana Suzette- Raw Food Recipe

I was inspired to make this dish after going to the store the other day and picking up a case of bananas and a whole lot of fresh cherries.  We have been eating cherries by themselves as a snack or mono meal, but i wanted to make something simple, but special. The first thing that came to my mind was a sauce to put over the cherries and bananas. A suzette sauce is typically poured over crepes, but why not keep it nice and healthy and put it over the fruit. The sauce is usually made from butter, sugar and orange liquor.  Since the fruit is already sooo sweet, there was no need to add any additional sugar, and the butter is unnecessary because we are not sauteeing in a pan.  So all that was left to substitute was the orange liquor! How easy...i just used the juice and zest of the orange and added a little vanilla extract. It was very tasty! Give it a try. Perfect to entertain with and will go well with kids too!

Cherry Banana Suzette y= 1 lg or 2 sm servings

sauce
1/2 c Orange Juice, about 1 orange
1 T Orange Zest
1/2 t Vanilla Extract
step 1- Mix every in a bowl

2 c- Cherries, pitted
2 each - Bananas, sliced

step 1- Arrange sliced bananas on a plate or in a bowl
step 2- Add cherries on top of bananas
step 3- Pour sauce on top and Enjoy

You can make this up to 3 hours ahead of time and refridgerate or leave on counter or eat right away!!

Salsa Salad + Where to find pics of Food

Got a favorite Salsa Recipe but always wait to make it when you have tacos or need a dip. A great way to enjoy your salsa anytime is to cut the pieces larger and eat on its own or put over a bed of greens. You don't even need a dressing because the salsa is already so flavorfull. Maybe just a lime wedge or two to squeeze over and your good to go.  I really love all kinds of salsa, but this time i couldn't make up my mind, so i decided to make it a fruit/traditional/guacamole type Salsa.  With all these fresh ingredients...How can it taste bad right?  Feel free to make you own combo or use mine:) Really no right or wrong measurement....just go with the flow.

Salsa Salad y=2 servings

3 each Tomatoes, med dice
1 each Cucumber, seeds removed, sliced
1 each Green Onion, thinly sliced
1 ear Corn, kernels removed
1 each Mango, med dice
handfull fresh herbs- i used Basil and Mint (cilantro would be great too, but Jenn hates it), chopped
Juice and Zest of 1/2 Lime
1 T Chili Pepper, thinly sliced
1 each Avocado, med dice
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Greens of Your Choice- I used Spinach

step 1- Mix everything in a bowl
step 2- Taste for seasoning
step 3- Spoon over a bed of Greens
step 4- take the other 1/2 of lime and cut in 2 and put on each plate for extra dressing
step 5- Enjoy!!

Chocolate Covered Raisins- Raw Food Recipe

This is another super easy tasty dessert that can be made in a minute.  Chocolate covered raisens in a box have more ingredients in them than they should, so why not make them. This is a great dessert kids can make themselves and is perfect for movie night. It is best to eat them with a spoon because the chocolate stays loose or you can have fun and eat them with your hands! Make a large batch of these raisens, because they will go fast!!

Yields 1/2 cup chocolate covered Raisens

1T Cacao Powder
1T Agave
1/2 c Raisens

Step 1- In a bowl mix together the cacao and agave until smooth
Step 2- Add the raisens and coat in the chocolate sauce
Step 3- Eat right out of the bowl with a spoon or your hands

Sweet Potato Pasta- Raw Food Recipe

s
Sweet Potatoes are so delicious and good for you, but most people have never had them Raw.  Probably because they are very hard and not Palatable. Unless you do what i did and use a spiralizer or your grater attachment on a food processor to make little noodles or shredded pieces.  I really enjoyed this salad especially with all the fruit in it. Makes for a nice light lunch or dinner. I will be making this again for sure:) Enjoy!

Sweet Potato Pasta Y= 1-2 Servings

1 medium Sweet Potato, Spiralized or Grated
1 c Fresh or Frozen Mango, med Diced
1c Fresh or Frozen Pineapple, med Diced
Juice and Zest from 1/2 Orange
2t Jalapeno, finely chopped
1/2 Avocado, med Dice
1/4c or Small Handfull of Basil, Sliced thinly or Torn in small Pieces

Step 1- Put everything in a bowl and toss together until mixed well
Step 2- Enjoy

Spaghetti Bolognese- Raw Food Recipe

I couldn't believe how close this sauce looked to tradtional meat sauce. Feel free to peel and sprilize you zucchini noodles ahead of time. Just line a container with papertowels and this will keep your noodles nice and dry for the sauce.  As you will see in the video, i take the time to salt my portabello mushrooms. I highly recogmend trying this step because it brings out the mushroom flavor and also changes the texture and feel of the mushroom to more of a cooked texture.  You can find the recipe and video for the raw tomato garlic basil sauce on my channel too.  You can use all the sauce and all the mushrooms in the food processor to make extra bolonese or do like i did and leave some sauce out. I like to have some added texture and color  to the food (we eat with our eyes remember...but if you have kids, just use the noodle and bolognese sauce). I enjoyed this raw food recipe so much that im going to make it again this week for company. We had a large salad as our first course, so this recipe will make 3 bowls full of pasta and sauce or 2 extra big bowls.

Bolognese Sauce
1x recipe for Tomato-garlic Basil sauce
         2 lg Tomatoes, med diced
         3 cloves Garlic, finely minced
         1/2 c Basil, chopped
         Salt and Peper  To Taste
         Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (optional) to Taste
    step1- Add everything to a bowl and mix well. Taste for seasoning
3 each Portabello Mushrooms, Slice 1/2 inch pieces and Salted (see video)
1/2 c Calamata Olives, sliced
3 sprigs Fresh Basil for Garnish
6-8 each Zucchini, Spirilized

step 1- Reserve 9 pieces of the mushroom for garnish and rough chop the rest of the mushrooms
step 2- Add 1/2 of tomato garlic basil sauce to food processor with the chopped mushrooms
step 3- Pulse the mixture until it looks like a chunky sauce
step 4- fill your bowls with the noodles and top with the bolognese sauce. Add some of the tomato garlic basil sauce, the olives and garnish with the sliced mushrooms around and basil leaf on top.
step 5- Enjoy!

Peach Mango "Milkshake"- Raw Vegan

What a great way to turn a smoothie into a milkshake. The banana milk makes this shake creamy, healthy and very tasty with the peaches and mango.  Have fun making this with your kids as a snack or dessert. This is a perfect drink to take on the go instead of a smoothie, since it is extra thick and cold!

1 banana
1/4 cup coconut water
2 each peaches, rough chop
2 cups frozen mango

step 1- blend the banana and coconut water together until smooth. This is your milk.
step 2- add the peaches and blend again until smooth
step 3- add the mango and puree until thick cold and creamy

RAW Collard Wrap w/ Fresh Beet Salad in a Peach-Poppyseed Dressing

A friend of mine had picked collards and beets today and gave me some of each. It is so nice to be able to eat something that has been picked only a few hours ago, so i knew i had to make something with these two things.  The first dish that came to my mind was to make a salad with the beets, but after tasting the salad i thought...i bet this would go great in the collard as a wrap. Let me tell you, it was Awesome together. The only thing i wish i had made more of was the peach-poppyseed dressing (i have a video for that too under salad dressings) so we could of dipped our wraps in more of the sauce.  So make extra dressing:) I used a mandoline to slice my beets to get them very thin, but you could use a vegetable peeler or grate them in the food processor. Make sure to cut out the stem from the collard greens, they can be a little tough. Enjoy!!!

Fresh Beet Salad
3 each Beets, i used red, yellow and candy striped, thinnly sliced
2 each Carrots, sliced thin
2 stalks Celery, sliced thin

6 each Collard leaves

Peach-Poppyseed Dressing y= about 1/2 c (multiple by 2 if you want some to dip in)
1 each Peach, fresh or 1/2c thawed frozen, rough chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
2T Honey or other sweetner
1/2T Poppy-seeds

step 1- put peaches, lemon juice and honey in blender
step 2- puree until smooth
step 3- add poppyseeds and pulse just to mix in
step 4- put all the ingredients in beet salad in a bowl and toss with dressing
step 5- Lay you collard green down on a cuttiing board and fill with salad in the center only
step 6- Roll wrap like you would a burritto and cut in half on an angle
step 7- eat up with some dipping sauce on the side:)

FRESH Tomato-Basil-Garlic Sauce RECIPE

Theres nothing like a homemade Tomato Sauce, however most people use a storebought kind in a jar.  Usually because a homemade sauce has to simmer on the stove for a good bit and most people don't have the time. Well if that is the case for you, this will be the perfect recipe. It is simple, tasty and doesn't require any cooking. My raw version taste fresh like a salsa and can be used for exactly that or as a sauce over raw zucchini noodles or pasta noodles.  I keep all my ingredients at room temperature so the sauce isn't cold.  Feel free to puree the sauce and use in lasangas or over your noodles.  Adjust the spice to your liking with either dried or fresh chili.  Enjoy!

Fresh Tomato Sauce- y= 2-3cups

2 lg Tomatoes, med diced
3 cloves Garlic, minced
handfull of fresh Basil, chopped (roughly 1/2c)
salt and pepper to taste
Dried or fresh Chili- to taste (optional)

step 1- Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well
step 2- taste for seasoning (remember it is going to get mixed with something, so season properly)

The raw cocao powder can be found in most speciality stores such as Whole Foods.  This recipe is for one 4'' round pan, so multiply if making a larger one:) You can pick this pizza up, just make sure to freeze you crust or completed pizza with all the toppings for at least 30minutes so the crust can firm up.

Plenty of people eat Portabella burgers, but usually there marinated and grilled.

CHARLESTON PRALINE RECIPE-Raw Vegan

This is one of my favorite treats when i walk the streets of downtown Charleston! You can find a dozen or so sweet shops that make pralines and will willingly give you a sample:) However they are very rich and unhealthy, usually made from Butter, Cream, Pecans and Sugar!! I wanted to make a healther version that was easy to prepare.  I can tell you that i have had my fair share of pralines and this raw food version is just as Good.  It still has a wonderfull sweetness from the honey and dates, so it will satisfy anyones sweet tooth!! You can whip a batch up in minutes and even get your kids to help...no cooking here:) Enjoy

CHERRY-Vanilla-Banana YOGURT- Raw Vegan Recipe

Cherries are in season for a short time and are sooo tasty and good for you.  I wanted to make something special with them, but only had a handfull left in the refridgerator.  I had been wanting to make a non dairy raw vegan yogurt that was a little lighter than the coconut almond yogurt i had been making.  I had some bananas in the fridge too, so i tasted a piece of banana with the cherry and it reminded me of traditional yogurt. The bananas made it creamy while the cherries added a sweet tart tangy flavor. A perfect balance of flavors. The texture and appearance of the dish is sooo close to the original. This is perfect for anyone following the 80/10/10 diet or looking for a healthier alternative to dairy yogurt. Your kids can even help make it. Feel free to expe!

RAW GRANOLA BAR Recipe- day 3

I use to make homemade granola bars all the time, but i used rolled oats and had to bake them.  I was in the mood for something sweet and my cabinet was looking a little bar. I did however have dried fruit and nuts, so i thought i would try and make a raw version granola bar.   I knew they would be a little sticky, so i thought i would roll them in shredded coconut.  Feel free to use whatever fruit and nuts you like and add in things like mulberrys, goji berries, raw coaca nibs, etc if you want.  These bars came out sooooo good and are perfect for  packed lunches and snacks on the go. I ate mine as dessert. Make sure to double the recipe so you can put some in the freezer for later. Enjoy!!

Day 3- STRAWBERRY TOP SMOOTHIE- Very Budget Friendly

How many times have you eaten strawberries and throw away the tops? Most people do, but the tops are completely edible and full of nutrients.  We had had a bunch of strawberries for a snack and put all the tops in a bowl in the fridge.  They are perfect blended up in a smoothie and didn't really cost you anything! Here i mixed the tops with fresh banana and coconut water.  It tasted Great!

Day 2- The BK WRAP makes a Perfect Snack

Kale is a super food, but some people have a hard time eating it. That use to be me. I would try juicing it or eating it in a salad and i just couldn't get passed that bitter tough taste.  My goal has been to find ways to prepare the kale so i can enjoy it and get all the benifits of this leafy green.  This recipe is one of my favorite and is so easy to put together. It makes a perfect snack or can be eaten as a meal.  Keep this as simple as you want or eat it like i do with almond butter, celery and hemp seeds on top of the banana:)

Day 2- Open Faced HUMMAS Sandwiches- RAW VEGAN

This has to be one of my favorite raw vegan recipes so far.  I love making dishes that really do taste like the original or better.  Hummus is such a popular dip or spread for a sandwich, but is made with beans. Since I do not eat beans, I decided to make my version the same way i would normally make hummus, but with zucchini instead of the beans! OMG was it amazing....honestly it tasted so close to the original that most people probably would have no idea it was made with zucchini.  I had this for lunch over some sliced tomatoes and other veggies on top like an open faced sandwich.  Feel free to serve as a dip to a crudite platter at a party or for a snack.  The kids willl like this too:)

Hummus y= 3cups

3 ea zucchini, peeled and rough chopped

Day 2- Banana-Mango Colada GREEN Smoothie

Budget Week day 2- I made this banana-mango pineapple green smoothie this morning for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious!

It really adds a great flavor to smoothies and juices and keeps everything dairy free!!! Give this one a try.

Can I feed my family of 5 for 1 week with $100 on A Raw Food Diet????????

After coming back from the holiday weekend, i decided to do a raw food challenge.  Since i desperately needed to do a food shopping, i thought it would be fun to see if i can feed myself, jennn and the 3 kids raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds for 7 days on $100.  My plan is to shop at a few stores and buy things in bulk, on sale and what we enjoy eating and then make videos on the dishes and meals i make.  I thought this would be fun and also show people that money shouldn't be an excuse for not eating healthy:) Subscribe to my youtube videos/blog to stay up to date on daily post. thanks for watching.

All I have to say is that Strawberries are in Season and are super sweet!

RAWFOODFORKIDS is for EVERYONE!!!

      RAWFOODFORKIDS is for EVERYONE!!! Hi there. My name is Lisa and i'm a proud mom of 3 little girls all under the age of three.  I have always loved being in the kitchen creating new and exciting meals/dishes for myself and others.  Over the years I have worked in many restaurants doing almost everything, including going to Culinary school at the Culinary Institute of America in NY.
    Over the years i have always tried to stay on top of food trends, health and fitness.  I usually would prepare most of my meals myself in order to keep them fairly healthy and keep cost down too.  During this time in my life i ate almost everything (stayed away from fast food and fried stuff).  I would never imagine that 10 years later i would be married with 3 girls and be eating 90% raw fruits and vegetables.
     My transition to raw foods happened in Dec.2011 when Jenn and I decided to get our cholesterol checked.  Mine was actually very normal, but Jenn's was 219 and the doctor wanted to put her on medicine.  I knew fruits and vegetables did not have Cholesterol, so we decided to do the vegan thing for 3 months and see if her cholesterol would drop.  After 3 months of eating a plant based cooked diet, Jenns cholesterol droped 22Points!!!!!
     We felt so good eating this way, that we decided to continue with this lifesytle.  We slowly started to incorporate more raw fruits and vegetables into our diet in place of cooked after i was reminded several times by other raw foodies that you lose up to 85-95% of all nutrients once something is cooked passed 118 degrees. We made the switch to be healthier and now we only eat of fruits and veggies raw:)
      These fruits and veggies have brought life back into my life and i feel like a kid again. I also wanted to be able to get my kids involved and have them be excited about these foods too.  Hence Rawfoodforkids was born.  Here i can make healthy foods for me, my family, friends and you.  My goal is to help everyone get inspired in the kichen and learn new fun ways to eat fruits and vegetables.  I also share any tips related to food and health that might be benificial to you too.
     Thanks so much for watching my videos. I enjoy the comments you post. Please feel free to share a recipe or tip i post to a friend AND ALWAYS REMEMBER TO EAT HAPPY FOODS!!!
