  • Soaked cashews, lemon juice, sundried tomato, garlic, onion, tiny bit of olive oil. Yum.
  • I don't know all the answers, but I think the best thing you can do, is listen to your own body. Do what you need to do to feel your best mentally, and physically. We are all different, and have different needs. I want to be able to stick to this ty…
  • I spend 200 dollars a week for groceries, but I'm buying for 5 people. All of us eat a lot of fruit, and the rest of the family eats meat, pastas and rice. I think you can spend smaller amounts if you eat what is in season. Any time I see out of sea…
  • I'm going to try the whipped parsnips, and some marinated mushrooms, an awesome green salad and something for dessert.

  • If I eat too many tomatoes, my tongue feels weird, so I wouldn't be surprised. However, my twins eat tomato everything, and they are very, very healthy. If they don't cause you any problems, I'd eat them still.
    in tomatoes! Comment by saraw
  • rawmama, I know what you mean about the food-tantrum correlation. I've got two boys with High functioning Autism. :-) I notice a huge difference in my kids' moods when they eat like crap. A 15 month old, things are a MUCH bigger deal. If you are fee…
  • ((hug)) I know how you feel. I do this too. I just tell myself that when I hit rock bottom with my health time and time again, ONE day I will decide to stick to raw once and for all. Cut yourself some slack. I was really into nursing my babies, and …
  • Thanks! I'll give this one a shot! I am going to try the corn chips at some point as well.
  • Someone on here gave me the best solution EVER! I use wax paper greased with oil. I use coconut oil for sweet stuff, and olive oil for savory.
  • Get the book, Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People by Jennifer Cornbleet. I LOVE this book. All of her recipes are so easy, and inexpensive. All the ingredients are easy to find. Here is something to try. I use Kale, but cabbage would be equally del…
    in can i be raw? Comment by saraw
  • What are the ingredients in your cake? I'd probably try blending coconut with dates, and soaked cashews, and slowly adding a bit of water. Just enough to make it spreadable and gooey. Oh, and a small amount of finely crushed pecans. hmmm, Maybe I'll…
  • when I leave for a few days, I bring nuts and raisins, a knife if I need one, avocado, and mostly fruit. Apples, bananas, oranges, cucumbers and tomatoes. make up a mix of your favorite seasoning to use on the avocado, cucumbers and tomatoes. Also, …
    in Traveling Raw Comment by saraw
  • I struggle to stay on the wagon as well. Each time I try to stick with it, I learn more about myself. I end up feeling really gross, mean, and just no energy when I eat poorly. It might take me YEARS to get the hang of it, but that is OK. At least I…
  • Slow and steady. :-) Record how you feel after eating the pizza and candy. Record how you feel after eating only fresh foods. I have countless entries of feeling like garbage after binging on chips or brownies. My biggest weakness is a toasted chees…

  • I don't know how popular this might be, but I bought some fridgesmarts put out by Tupperware. These WORK!! romaine lettuce lasts for well over a month, and I've kept kale, and chard in them with great success. Already, my containers have paid for th…
  • I've been trying to stay raw for almost a year now, and I struggle so badly with it. The best thing, is that every time I start over, I stick with it so much longer. I'm betting one of these times I won't look back. My body just does not function on…

  • Beeny! I try to be raw for my health. I'm only 28, and I've dealt with some nasty illnesses already. I've seen what eating raw has, and can do for my health. Just great advice. Yes, think about the possible health issues as you age. Yuck. I feel tha…
  • I'll have to check it out sometime. I rarely drive to Seattle though. I dislike driving in big cities where I can hit stuff too easily. No parking is even worse for me. LOL What are the prices like?
  • I'm married to one, but I was also a meat eater too. We have different views on many things. We balance each other out though. If he is to respect my ways, I will respect his. We love each other, and parent our children very well together, and they …
  • I've sprouted rice before, and I got lazy with it, and I had grass growing in a jar. LOL What about trying quinoa for bread? I tried using rice for a cracker, and it didn't stick together. I bet if you added some soaked flax it would hold together. …
  • I've just let mine sit out on the counter for a day. Then I put them in the fridge.
  • Where did I read this.. Maybe in Alyssa Cohen’s book probably. She talked about sun bathing, and that it is good for you. The reason we get things like skin cancer, is due to the toxins leaving our bodies. Combine that with sun burning, and you have…

  • http://www.moonbees.com/ I really like these for my period. This woman makes some awesome pads! There is NO stuffing like the glad rags, and they are quick drying, and in ONE piece!! And here.. www.fernandfaerie.com She has a pattern to crochet, or …
  • Hmmm. I just put a pair of my small jeans on yesterday. Despite our very NASTY weather, my kale is growing beautifully. There is some talk of a farmers market in our small town this year. newbie mentioned the fireflies. We have LOTS OF BEES! Our flo…

  • I would have to agree with amysue. tiny babies are very easy to travel with. Easier than a toddler sometimes I think. Get yourself a wrap style carrier like a Moby, and make sure to breastfeed. Breastfeeding will protect your baby from so many illne…
  • http://www.mastergardenproducts.com/gardenersco…%20Container%20Gardening Here is a neat site. I was trying to find the site where I saw a REALLY neat garden platform, but I can’t find it. I am able to grow kale very beautifully in the house, and the…
  • Queenfluff, THANK you for the suggestions! I have the white stuff. I just despise having to use it. I HAD some silicon bake ware that I chopped up to fit in the trays, but my dh threw them away when he did dishes one day. I’m so close to just chargi…
    in YUM! Wax paper! Comment by saraw
  • flax seed is a good laxative. Make smoothies with two tablespoons of flax. I’ve dealt with constipation in a BAD way. Maybe some of the old sludge build up in there is breaking away, and getting stuck. I wouldn’t worry about being 100%, and just hav…
  • I did the same thing, and then I got even more lazy, and ate twinkies. I’m allergic to those bastards. grrr. Maybe pick a new simple recipe to try. Tonight I made the veggie chili that is on this site, and it was REALLY good, and very quick and easy…

  • Make the cheese with spring onions off of this site to have on hand. I made this, and it is sooo good on chopped veggies. Buy some raw tahini, and almond butter for your cut veggies too. I’m making more cheese with spring onions tomorrow. It is my n…
