Delightfully Raw near L.A.

Delightfully Raw near L.A. by Carmella Soleil

As I was mentioning in a previous post, I would have loved to go to a date farm before heading further west, but we decided it would be best not to double back, saving our energy for the task at hand: make it in one piece to the other side of L.A. The mere thought of having to drive through such a jam-packed and super-populated area…

Delightfully Raw in Eagle Mountain, Utah by Carmella Soleil

After 3 days of driving we finally arrived in Eagle Mountain, a small town south west of Salt Lake City. We were earlier than we expected and our hosts weren't home yet.

Onion, Dill & Horseradish Cheez

Onion, Dill & Horseradish Cheez by Carmella Soleil

In May 2007, at 63 years old, my friend Barbara stopped eating meat and all animal products cold turkey (pardon the pun) and became vegan. After only four months into her new diet she was already quite a different person. She no longer had to take her high blood pressure, high cholesterol, auto-immune, constipation and retinal vein…

Delightfully Raw in St George Utah

Delightfully Raw in St George Utah by Carmella Soleil

As I was mentioning in my last post we very nearly didn't make it to St George in time for a raw potluck that was scheduled at Barbara and Duane's home. Vegetarian Society of Utah (VSU) members are used to getting together regularly to share food but it is usually vegan and oil free. I thought it might be fun since I was going to demo…

In Lillie's Sunny Kitchen

In Lillie's Sunny Kitchen by Carmella Soleil

Our original idea was to take the southern route to go to the Grand Canyon, but upon closer examination of the map we discovered that the northern one was actually a lot shorter. Plus we hadn't had a chance to go to Zion National Park yet, so everything seemed to point to a change of plans. One of the people that attended the raw…

Raw Restaurant Review: ChocolaTree in Sedona

Raw Restaurant Review: ChocolaTree in Sedona by Carmella Soleil

I guess that a warning would be in order here; this post might sound harsh to some. I'm generally now not of a bitchy disposition (thank goodness! hehe) but I do feel compelled to give you my honest thoughts about ChocolaTree in Sedona. Last time we were here we had looked at their menu outside the door and didn't feel moved to go in.…

Delightfully Raw in the Sonoran Desert: Part 1

Delightfully Raw in the Sonoran Desert: Part 1 by Carmella Soleil

The next morning after our hike on Dead Man's Pass Trail we packed up everything and headed further south to the Phoenix area. Someone had suggested that we check out hot springs along the way, so we turned on Fossil Creek Road and slowly and painfully made our way on the twisty and very bumpy gravel road. About 15 miles and nearly an…
