  • darn it! I have NO buckwheat. I was wanting to try making cereal and crackers for the kids with some buckwheat. I can’t find it anywhere around here. I’ll have to drive to Redmond probably. :-(
  • My favorite is to take a bit of water, flax seeds, romaine lettuce and spinach, half fresh strawberries, and half frozen, a Nice ripe banana, handful of blueberries, and if it needs to be a bit sweeter, I add some raw honey, or agave nectar.

  • You should make the cocoa buckwheaties on this site. I am trying to slowly move my kids to more raw foods, and they all LOVED these so much. All three of my kids (8,8, and almost 3 year old) munched on this, and then had some sliced oranges. Make Po…
  • I don’t see why not. I’d put the dehydrator in the sun too. Maybe it will dehydrate it faster. Okay, so now I don’t feel like a freak. I pack my own food, and sometimes my own pans, due to the gluten contamination. Sometimes I get tired of being the…
  • Thanks you guys. As of June 2, I’ve stayed 100%. I’m journaling, and I took your advice with making the smoothie the night before. I wish I could take all temptation out of my house as far as gluten. My husband eats it. If I don’t buy it, he will pa…
  • I’d start by processing the nuts, and spices, then add enough dates until it makes a good paste to shape into bars. I make similar cookie type things like this a lot. I like using almonds and raisins, flax, cinnamon, and raw honey or agave.
  • oooh, I WANT this book now! I have a nice stack of raw food books from the library. I usually can’t keep them for more than 3 weeks, because someone else has holds on them. I’ll search for this book. I’d LOVE a chip recipe that is like a SAD chip.

  • I have problems with rashes. When I started raw, my skin started to look really nice, then all of a sudden it got worse again. Then better. I think it is the body getting rid of more toxins. I have a skin condition that causes me to break out for MO…
    in The rash on my ass Comment by saraw
  • Thank you for the replies! So, should I steer clear of higher sugar fruits as well you think? I only ate about a quarter of my salad last night, because I felt so yucky. I didn’t eat anything today until 12pm, and I had a small handful of raisins, a…
  • I’m right there with you! The weather has been really bad. I JUST turned on a few of my lamps in the house, because it is so glum in here. I do like to go tanning sometimes, and that helps me A LOT. I also haven’t been tanning in a few weeks, and I …

  • MUCH better, and I have an IUD. This device makes for horrifying period cramps. Now they are just about gone! I’ve been raw since January.
    in pms on raw diet? Comment by saraw
  • I spend about 200-230 a week or roughly every 8 days. I am hoping to spend less very soon. I’m growing some of my own greens, and I really wanting to learn to grow some stuff year round, so I always have fresh stuff. Oh, and this is for a family of …
    in Monthly Food Bill? Comment by saraw
  • I always tell people that it is what is working for me. Why would I change something if it is working? I am always happy to answer questions, and I always recommend good books! My dad saw me over the weekend, and noticed that I lost quite a bit of w…

  • I have been off of my anti depressants for over a month now. I went raw first, and then I SLOWLY weaned off of them. I was taking 150mg of zoloft. It took a good long while to feel “normal” though. I had detox symptoms for many weeks after being off…
  • Zoe!!! That is an amazing response!! I am so terrible at forming responses like these. Can I copy this, and use it for other people who ask? Is that purelyraw site yours? I could link there? Lane, our family eats everything home made for the most pa…
  • Do you have a local library? I got the book through the library for free! Her recipes look very easy!
  • Yeah, I did 10 days, and then was high raw, t hen I ate a few things I shouldn’t have eaten. Believe me, I am PAYING for it. I have a bladder infection, itchy skin, and I’m having trouble feeling good in general. Now, I just don’t feel like eating a…
  • I just wanted to update! I haven’t been able to post lately. I am still all raw, and I’ve lost two inches off my waist!! I feel really good! Onward I will go!!! Oh, I declined alcohol even!
  • Okay, I have to list yesterdays, and todays menu! If I can remember it all.. Monday Breakfast was left over raisin cookies from the night before. lunch was a green smoothie with spinach, dates, banana, strawberry, mango, blueberries, and flax. snack…
  • Okay, I think I did pretty good today! day 2! Breakfast was 2 kiwi fruit and a banana lunch was a salad made with baby bok choy, and purple onions snack was a quarter of an apple, and then a bit later I ate half of an avocado Dinner was alfredo with…
  • I’m SOOOOO in with this! I was so bad for the last week and a half. I feel tired again. Here is what I ate today so far.. One orange, and an orange bell pepper for breakfast Lunch was a salad with kale, broccoli, carrots, quinoa sprouts, and tossed …
  • I am getting the damn excalibur. My ronco sucks. It makes all my food smell funky.
  • Okay, and I thought gluten free bread was expensive! LOL Looks good though!!
  • I just put it in a long planter style box. It isn’t as big as the stuff you get at the grocery store, but it is so CUTE! I just water it, and put it in the window. That is all. This is my first time doing this. I have some swiss chard growing in my …
  • I think things that you can sprout would be good, maybe stock up on some lights that mimic the sunlight for growing indoors if you have poor sunlight like we do. Save containers for growing your own food inside. I’m growing kale inside, and it grows…
  • I’d say the OATS and peanuts.
  • Okay, make the onion bread on here, and then top that with avocado, roma tomatoe, salt, pepper, and garlic. Today I made a salad with chopped kale, carrots, broccoli, then I mashed the avocado on the side, added some agave, a bit of salt, onion powd…

  • I didn’t read all the replies, but I am finding that eating some raw, leads to eating more raw. I ate cooked foods (minus meat) over the weekend, and I ate some corn and bean tortillas last night. Once you keep eating cooked stuff, it is SO HARD to …
  • Am I odd here? I have found that I love quinoa sprouted and raw over cooked ANY DAY! I also think Kale tastes better raw over cooked as well. I used to hate kale before I had it raw.

  • OHHHH, uugh, I forgot about the food processor… My blender that is DEAD is a food processor.blender combined. Yuck. I’m so upset.. People, tell me about kitchenaid blenders, or the breville blenders.
