cannellini bean and artichoke spread*




i swiped another recipe from
and it's a good one.

we've been eating it every afternoon for lunch.
oh my is it delicious.
and nutrious.
i'm totally addicted to their website.
i want to eat everything they make.
so i kinda am.

they have me drinking alkaline water and eating raw.
i've switched my normal wheat flour to spelt (which i'm loving) and have me questioning everything i eat.
i love it when i find a blog like this.
it is so refreshing.

*no animals were harmed making this recipe.


have a splendid day.

  2. That looks amazing.. I heading over to have a look. I'm in a constant dilemma about food these days. You be may be interested in my blog post today...a recent discovery about eggs. (not trying to get clicks, just really think you may be interested)

  3. I have poured over their blog since you introduced it last week....they are amazing and true inspirations for healthier eating. I read it back to the beginning and there are so many changes I want to make now. Even though I thought I was smart with food choices and how I eat, I don't think so anymore.
    This recipe looks delicious and easy enough. :) and anything with artichoke is high on my list.

    I love it too when I find a blog that really excites and inspires me.

  4. this is right up my alley!
    cannellini beans are so smooth & buttery.
    i will be making this, for sure.
    i have read lots of kris carr {crazy, sexy, diet} and she is big on pH & eating alkaline foods, as most of what is traditional american food tends to make us over-acidic. i need to spend some time on the alkaline sisters site ~ sounds like they are on the same page ♥

  6. Thank you for linking us to the Alkaline Sisters blog. So far my favorite recipe there has been the avocado/blueberry pudding. I like it so much better than the usual avocado/chocolate version.

    Also, sent this site to my good friend who has MS and is fighting against through pure and healthy eating (recently went raw). She will love the wealth of info and recipes..
    Thanks

  13. Janet - I made that one too and love it!

    to Faux Fuchsia--your taste buds WILL change but it takes 3-4 week for them to get dialed back. I used to love cheese & ice cream & now the thought of those makes me gag. eating meat is like ingesting suffering & death.

  18. I would love to eat raw food, unfortunately my intestines are not meant for raw food. Take an interwinded, long intestine, put it in a body with a short torso (compared to the total body-height) and a raw/ fibre-rich diet will lead to massive problems.
    A doctor explained to me that every indiviual works different, looks different (also from the inside) and that there is no such thing as "one healthy diet" that would work for everyone. She actually recommended croissant instead of whole-wheat-bread for breakfast. Back then I realised, how great I actually felt during those weeks in France, when I switched from healthy fibres to croissant and baguette. The media, new products and messages similar like the one from you the alkaline sisters made me believe raw = healthy.

    I often envy my partner, who can eat whole wheat and raw products, also fruits at any time of the day. You can be sure, I do envy you, too! Because I love raw food, the taste, the sounds it makes when you bite in it ...
    I actually "sin" when I eat raw vegetables or certain fruits. The next day I have to deal with a hang-over and a bloated tummy, because the raw foods will ferment no end because it takes so long to make it through.

    And you can imagine the surprised faces of my nieces and nephew when I reject the salad, because it is not healthy for me. What, Aunt Paula does not have to eat salad?
