Ani’s Raw Well-Being Recipes Featured in Food & Wine Magazine
I was featured in Food & Wine Magazine along with five of my raw food recipes for well-being and weight loss. The recipes included Zucchini Ribbons with Raw Tomato Marinara, Raw Sweet Corn and Cashew Chowder, Orange-Cardamom Date Bars with a Nutty Crust, Sunflower Seed Dip with Dill, Coconut Almond Balls with Dried Fruit. As with all my raw food recipes, these are made using only fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, and are free from dairy, wheat, gluten, and refined sugar.

Hiking LA in the Canyons in the Sun
After a night of rain, it’s sunny and clear today in Los Angeles. The perfect day for outdoor play. To avoid using my Prius, Kanga and I ran a few miles to the canyon, hiked up what feels like an 80 degree cliff face, then ran down and back home.
