Bay & I are a good team at being up to date with research. She is an excellent researcher. Bay has recently found out that irish moss found in vegan cheese is not good for you. A lot of people are allergic to irish moss and it can cause inflammation in the stomach lining.
Also we found out that most cheese has casein in it as read in the article, "Dr. Jenna Taylor: Addiction to Cheese is Real Thanks to Casomorphins." With that said please research what you are putting in your body. A good rule of thumb we have used is if we can't understand or pronounce the ingredients, we shouldn't be putting it in our body.
We found tons of awesome links or recipes of how to make raw vegan cheese. I can't wait until Bay & I make some. Some of my favorites would be: This Raw Some Vegan Life, Raw on $10 a Day (or less) or Rawmazing. WE LOVE CHEESE!! I can't wait to get a cheese cloth. Out of all of the links we found this one is pretty simple: Easy Vegan Cashew Cheese - Recipe

We bought a new rice cooker and tried out our mandoline too. This was amazing. It was our first time making sushi and we made it together. xo
Tonight's dinner: homemade vegan sushi!! — with Kimberly Wohlsein.
We used for the sushi filling the following vegetables: purple kale, radish, cucumber, zucchini mixed colored carrots, avocado, broccoli shoots, mushrooms, & purple cabbage. We also used black, salsa, cashew sour cream for our too, burrito sushi.

This is for my lunch tomorrow. I am so excited. Swkeeee!
My organic, homemade, orange and lavender, body butter. I found this recipe at Rawmazing.
I didn't realize that I need an blender so I used a whisk instead, not recommended. lol. I was extremely hard to whisk together. Luckily, I had Bay Bay to help me with gun power.
This whole process took an hour, including putting the shea butter in the freezer. Organic raw shea butter was a challenge to find. We found it at our local shop in S.E. Portland called People's coop.
I'm so proud of myself. Their are so many nasty chemicals that are put into our lotion, shampoos, conditioners, packaged, food, etc. Since my body is super sensitive and I have gotten rid of almost all of the chemical based products in my studio. I'm sure their is something lingering.
Try this out! You'll be surprised at how easy it was, promise.
