Strawberry Cheesecake Pops (Nut-Free)

by Callie England on January 20, 2012

Ok, everyone – if you’re friends with me on facebook, then you were able to get a sneak peak of my entry for the 2012 Hot Raw Chef Sweet Valentine’s Recipe Contest – as promised, here it is!

Voting starts today, so don’t wait – head on over to HotRawChef.com right now and get your vote on (for me, of course! haha). I’m number 26!!! Scroll to the bottom of the video page – enter your name and email address (this is to prevent people from voting 5 million times) and then place your vote! Thanks so much, everyone!!!

While it was fun to be part of this contest, I will say – creating a recipe video in 5 minutes or less, was like asking me to walk in Sephora and leave empty handed… Almost impossible. Seriously, I think I have talking issues, as my first intro was 3 minutes alone… It’s genetics, I can’t help it (thanks, mom). You should have seen me cutting the clips – I was like ‘what else can I cut out!?’… ha.

raw natural sprinkles

Any who, what excites me most about this creation are the pink sprinkles… yeah, that’s right – raw pink ‘sprinkles’! So festive. So foxy.

I should also mention that part of the guidelines were to create a ‘low glycemic’ recipe. So, you’ll find my recipe only uses Stevia for sweetening – feel free to sub. this for dates/palm sugar/agave/etc…

If you’d like a printed version of this recipe, you’ll need to head over to HotRawChef.com and place your vote. Once you’ve voted, you’ll be sent a PDF that includes the recipes in written form.

Carrot Ginger Dressing

by Callie England on January 9, 2012

Still eating low fat – Still having fun!

I’ve been so amazed these past two weeks at how heavily I rely on fats for flavor – especially when it comes to my salad dressing! So, by eliminating all oils, I’ve been forced to create alternative salad dressings. This little number surprised the heck out of me, as I went in with very low expectations – fat free salad dressing? You might as well kill me now ;) To my amazement though, it’s really been a great addition to my daily diet and has been helping suppress savory cravings.

Carrot Ginger Dressing

  • 1 C carrot juice
  • 1 C carrots
  • 1 orange (peeled)
  • 1 C cherrie tomatoes
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1″ peeled ginger
  • pinch of salt

In a high-speed blender, blend all ingredients until smooth. Store in glass jar for 4-5 days in refrigerator.

Rawxies promo-video is finished! I posted it on my personal FB wall this weekend, and was beyond flattered by all of the wonderful repost and comments – thanks everyone! I’m very lucky to have such a talented friend that shot and edited the video… Thanks again, Chris!

Check it out!   (I also have embedded the video in the sidebar to the right)

Have a great week!

I. Can’t. Stop. Eating. This. With the New Year, I’ve decided to clean up my diet a bit – and by a bit, I mean, NO nuts, seeds and/or oils. Unless of course, I’m eating Rawxies – which is where my daily fat source is coming from (yeahh!). However, besides Rawxies and avocados, it’s no-fat [...]

Happy Holidays!

Every man who possibly can should force himself to a holiday of a full month in a year, whether he feels like taking it or not.   Alright, clearly this man had nothing to do – but, I’ve got to say, change that month to a week and I’ll hop right on board that idea. [...]

Success.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. During a time, where all has seemed wrong, I have found much comfort in the quote above. Wednesday, being the most perfect example. Although Wednesday was the hardest day of my life to date, I’d be lying if I said, it wasn’t as well the [...]

I love you.

If someone would have told me that when I turned 27, I’d lose my partner-in-crime best friend, I would have told them they were crazy. After all, 27 is too young to leave this planet. However, in a stillness of shock and disbelief, I am experiencing life in it’s most unfair state. A state so [...]

Mock Tuna Salad

Let’s be honest, just because I have a degree in Graphic Design, doesn’t mean I should and/or can work video editing software. Repeating sentence to self. Again and again. However, in true form, I’ve ignored my better judgement. See, photographing food takes a large bleeping amount of time. Not only does it require dirtying 5,000 [...]

*Rawxies Giveaway winner at end of post. Let it be known, I love anything bite-sized. Love. I mean, I’m not the girl who wants a whole slice of anything – Instead, I just want a bite (or two) of everything. I guess I’m just my mother’s daughter. Insert: Flashbacks of grandma yelling at my mom [...]

Hello, Holiday Season. Can you believe it? Another year has flown by and once again, we are faced with the most glorious (and somewhat dreaded) time of the year… duh duh duuuuhhh – The holidays! For me, I love the holiday season. But for others, I understand that holidays can usually equate to endless amounts [...]
