Emily von Euw has been one of the biggest inspirations to me here in the 'blogger world'. Her website, This Rawsome Vegan Life, never ceases to disappoint. All of her recipes are accompanied with mouth watering photos, and most are raw vegan. Emily has shown me, and hopefully will show the rest of you, that veganism is not bland or complicated or unappealing as most may assume it to be, but rather, it is fun, delicious, color filled, and one of the best decisions you can make for yourself in your lifetime. Emily is so positive in her writing on her posts on both her website and Instagram, and I always look forward to the weekly emails I receive. So, without further or do, I introduce to you Emily von Euw.

Raw Chocolate Cream Caramel Bars

My parents named me Emily von Euw, and I have been hanging around this planet for about 20 years plus a few months. I reside in Vancouver, Canada with my family, friends, lover and approximately 1 million other people I don't know personally.

I adore being alive. I also adore avocados. I've always defined myself as a critical thinker, and part of being a critical thinker is hyper-analyzing everything that surrounds me (which, in this modernist world, is quite a lot). Being in my brain is overwhelming much of the time but I have learned to manage being me by treating myself with respect (this includes meditating regularly, getting outdoors whenever possible, and feeding my body and mind whole, nourishing, organic foods). I think while we are here for these some odd 80 years most of us get on average, we should make those happy years. Ultimately, who really know if anything matters? So let's just have a good time while we can, and not tell other people how to live their lives.

I like to dance, laugh, eat, drink, eat some more, always learn, always try to improve myself, do anything that gives me a natural dopamine rush (all of the things just mentioned, plus sex, exercise, hiking, cuddling other animals, and looking into the eyes of people I love). I study history at university (getting my bachelors now, plan on getting my masters later) and I am also a full-time food blogger! What the heck does that mean? Well, it means I spend a lot of time making raw vegan recipes, taking food porn pictures of them, then sharing it all on the world wide web.

My blog is called This Rawsome Vegan Life.

Apple Pie Ice Cream (raw, low-fat)Creamy, sweet soft-servey goodness mm mm mmm! I love living a high carb, low-fat vegan lifestyle and being able to finally eat in abundance. I eat as much as I care for until I am full and satisfied, and never feel regret after. For breakfast this morning, I decided I would go with Ice Cream. Besides regular mono meals, banana ice cream is my go-tobreakfast. It is so versatile, and extremely easy to make! Just throw frozen bananas into a food process (my preferred method) or a high speed blender with a touch of liquid (if needed) and pairings of choice. Process it until it is light and airy, like soft-serve, then dig right in!

Zucchini Noodles with Persimmon Ginger Dressing (hclf, raw)4 ingredients Fat-free Raw vegan Absolutely delicious :) Last year for Christmas I made a Raw Fall Zucchini Pasta + Ginger Persimmon Dressing that my family absolutely LOVED, so I thought I would bring this dish to the Ugly Sweater Vegan Potluck. I simplified the recipe quite a bit, and focused on highlighting the persimmons in. BEST. DRESSING. EVER.

Sweet Pumpkin Chia PuddingI really thought that by the time this fall holiday season ended, I would be all pumpkin'd out, but I'm still on a pumpkin kick! I made another batch of my Pumpkin Pecan Milk and decided I would see how it would turn out as a Sweet Pumpkin Chia Pudding and oh my, this recipe is heaven in a cup. It is so light, yet it's decadent and creamy. My parents thought I was serving them some vegan junk food, and they devoured it!

Today I am excited to be featuring the beautiful Ellen Fisher! I have been following Ellen since the start of my Instagram, and she has contributed so much knowledge as well as inspiration into my journey. She is a high carb, low-fat raw vegan momma of a beautiful son, Elvis, who was raised raw vegan since birth and has a new baby on the way! If you are not already following her on Instagram (which I doubt), head over to her page and give her a follow. Not only did I interview Ellen for the fact that she has been an ongoing inspiration to my vegan journey and I knew she could do the same for you, but also because she is a vegan mother, and could provide my readers with more information regarding vegan parenting and that realm of things since I am not in the position to do so. So without further or do, let's get to know Ellen Fisher <3

Guest Post: Ellen Fisher + Raw Mango GelatoThe very first question is, of course, why did you initially go vegan?
