Sirova Raw Food Store. Raw Fuel for Your Life!

admin — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:32:48 +0000

Hey Everyone! Guess what I have been doing. Okay don’t, but here it is:

I started this new adventure with a lovely person I met through my CSA shares “Farm to Folk” – JOANNA and her wonderful husband MATHEW. By the way you can read all about her at Promoting the Raw Food Diet While Debunking the Myths! She was interested in starting this venture as she is very serious about Attachment Parenting, and felt strongly that starting her own business would allow her to spend as much time as possible with her family. My motivation came from my desire to share my knowledge and love of food and fitness. In order to be happy and healthy it all comes back to what you eat. Starting off with quality, organic ingredients is a great start to maximum health.

Sirova has superfoods, natural sweeteners, organic and raw nuts and seeds, raw snacks, (like GoRaw FlaxSnax-Spicy, GoRaw Chocolate Super Cookies and GoRaw Live Chocolate Granola ), sea vegetables like dulse and kelp and much, much more at competitive prices. And of course, we sell nut milk bags, so you can make delicious and nutritious nut milks and nut cheeses. We aim to provide only organic and gluten free products.

Giving back to the community is important to us. As soon as possible (the more you order the faster we can achieve this goal) – we will give a percentage of our profits to communities we feel could use a little help. For example, we hope to be able to plant fruit trees around our town, and then expand to other towns/cities and states. Wouldn’t it be great if everyone could enjoy fresh fruit straight from the tree or if we have enough trees, have community volunteers pick fruit that can be used by shelters with in the community.

Check out our website. We have a collection of delicious raw recipes. And the collection is growing everyday. Have a recipe to share? We have a Raw Life Forum, which has Rawcipes you can view and we would for you to share your own favorite recipes. We also, have a forum to discuss fitness and raw food and an area for you to share your SUCCESSES!

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR CLICK ON OVER!

Let us know if you have ideas or suggestions for the store!

We have a flat rate shipping of $7 dollars for all orders upto $149 and Free Shipping on all orders $150 and over (only in the continental US)

Basil Pesto! YUM!

I saw this on the Renegade Health Show, Ann Marie always has such great ideas on how to make quick, delicious raw food items. From coconut kefirs and yogurts to tasty entrees to wonderful desserts that are all good for you!

I picked up my csa shares and they had basil on the share table, as much as you wanted! I had already watched this episode, so I immediately grab a huge bunch and made this really tasty basil pesto. It was so easy and quick! You really should make yourself this wonderful sauce. You can serve it over zucchini or jicama noodles. On a salad or as a dip for veggies (if the sauce is thick) or as a marinade. The combination and permutations are endless.

I would like to introduce you to my guinea pig friends, Ethyl and Lucy! They are very sweet and love to talk to you.

Lucy, my guinea pig friend!

Lucy is very funny. She loves to talk and run around the house.

Ethyl is shy, but she loves to be held and also enjoys talking to you, once she gets to know you!

Wonderful Simple, Vegan, Raw Desserts that are Healthy for you!

I purchased Ani Phyo’s new book, Ani’s Raw Food Desserts: 85 Easy, Delectable Sweets and Treats. This is a wonderful “cook” book. The recipes are simple with a few ingredients. The book is full of wonderful pictures, information on skincare and beauty, green tips and more.

: This is so good! Strawberry Kream Cheezecake- Vegan and Raw!

The first thing I tried from this book was the Strawberry Kream Cheezecake. I had some strawberries I needed to use up and the only thing that I needed to purchase was lecithin powder. But, Ani gives you the option of increasing the coconut oil and decreasing the amount of water to achieve the same results. The only problem I had was waiting long enough to let the filling firm up! As you can see from the picture, we couldn’t wait to try the cheezecake and so the filling was not as set as it could have been. The next day the filling was set and looked fabulous. We unfortunately ate it up before I could get another picture.

The cookies I made were very easy to make and fun to make! The fun part of raw preparation is that you don’t have too worry or stress about burning or over cooking. And these cookies can be stored in the fridge or freezer, so you can take one out and eat it as a nice cold treat on those days you could “fry an egg” on the pavement, not that you would want to.

The Halva Chai Thumbprint cookies are one of my favorites. They are comfort food for me in that they remind me of special times with my Grandma – baking cookies and then sitting at the table having tea, talking with friends and nibbling on cookies.

: Wonderful Halva Chia Thumbprint Cookies!

These cookies are very tasty and filling! The jam filling is raw too. Very easy to make berries, dates and agave.

Next, I made Almond-Goji Cacao Chip cookies. These cookies were again very easy to make and the TG’s loved them! They really like the goji berries and the cacao chips which added a nice crunch to the cookie.

: Awesome Almond-Goji Cacao Chip Cookies!

Lastly, I made the Oatmeal Raisin cookies. I am an oatmeal person, love whole grains, so these cookies are also one of my faves. I would like to point out that these cookies can be shaped into fancy cookies using cookie cutters. I need to purchase some more cute cookie cutters so I can make shapes other than a circle and a heart. Another fun fact when making these cookies is that if you mess up the shaping you can start over and the cookie is still great! So making these cookies are great to make with your children.

Cookies from “Ani’s Raw Food Desserts”. Delicious!

Raw Wraps, Tortillas, Tacos or Crackers.

I saw this great video on Everyday Dish TV and had to share it with all of you. I am always looking for great ideas on how to make things for the family that are healthy and taste great. These wraps are simple to make and raw food chef Elaina Love makes it look so easy! Check it out!

What I love about raw food cuisine, is that you can make it into 3 or 4 different things, depending on the thickness, size, shape, and dehydrating times. Another aspect I like, is that you can taste everything you are making and eat it at any time. You don’t necessarily have to wait the alotted time to consume your masterpiece! And lastly, you can “play” with your food and not burn you fingers. Yah!

Here is a fun picture of the dogs at clicker class. It is a great class a good friend of mine KJB teaches. We are working on targeting to discern a shape from other shapes (triangle from a circle, square and a heart). A go-out and sit. Recalls with many different distractions. Calling two dogs at the same time. Also, we are working on recalls with a drop or down asked just after the dog starts to come. Another element is loose lead walking with a drop instead of a sit when you stop. It is really a challenge for all of us. Lots of practice, which is good because we engage the mind and body of the dog and we get to spend more quality time together. YEH!

It’s Friday!!

It has been a hectic week. Last night I had fun with the horse. Worked on 360’s and some driving from zone 5. It was cool running the dogs. But it is still winter. To finish off the week we all went out for dinner. A nice Thai restaurant that serves vegan and veggie options. We had veggie spring rolls with peanut sauce; very tasty. Then the TG and the girls had veggie chow mien and I had gado gado vegan of course. It was very good. They put corn, bean sprouts, slices of potato, cauliflower, zucchini and spinach and cover with this thick peanut sauce mmmmmm. It is one of my favorites! I need to start taking a camera every where I go, so I can post pictures. Of course, I have to have get TG to let me use his camera.

Tomorrow I promised the TD’s and TG that I would make Cheese Burger Pizza from Sarah Kramer’s cookbook “La Dolce Vegan! Vegan Livin’ Made Easy“. I promise to take pictures and post them. I am also going to try a smoothie form Ani Phyo “Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen”.

Have a wonderful evening!
