  • just wanted to post about my experience yesterday. This was my first year eating raw, and I was amazed at how emotional I became. During silent prayer, I was praying to help the world in hate, anger, and war. I was almost in tears, and if I had been…
  • Good Yontiff to you, and thank you for bringing this up here. :) This is my first year eating raw, so it’ll be new for me. I’ve been looking forward to the fast, although I always drink water with it. I grew up reform, so that’s how we always handle…
  • lots to think about, thank you for this discussion. I'm still struggling to kick my coffee addiction, but I'm slowly weaning myself from it. I think I'd drink a medicinal herbal tea for a purpose, but other than that, I personally prefer water to dr…
  • I heard Naomi Klein speak on the radio a few days ago, and she blew my mind. :) http://www.naomiklein.org/shock-doctrine The Shock Doctrine discusses how politicians use ‘crisis’ as a way to pass legislation and do things that politicians have been …
  • I love chia too! This morning I was mixing some chia seeds with water and let it sit. I cut up some strawberries and some raspberries… and went to put it in my “porridge” but realized I had put too much water in it. Turns out it was so yummy, just l…
  • I guess living in California helps with having access to a huge variety of lower priced organic produce. But before you get too jealous, we could do a “how do you pay for housing” thread and I’m guessing those of you not living in either coast would…
  • yes, all organic! I joined a CSA with an organic farm recently, and get most of my vegetables there, that costs $17/week. I go weekly to my local farmer’s market, and worked out a deal with my favorite fruit vendor (organic, but not certified). I bu…
  • wow, I spend about $280/month on produce. I supplement with Trader Joe’s shopping for my daughter’s processed stuff she can’t live without (roll eyes) about $45/month and my own specialty items probably about $20/month. So I’m at about $345 for 1 ad…
  • that was hilarious! thanks for posting that ! :)
  • that is hilarious! :)
  • I suppose it could be any of those things, or all of them, or a combination of those methods to help you feel better. I hope you feel better soon.
  • thanks for that link! I’ve loved her for over a decade, and she always has me laughing up a storm.
  • I don’t have much to add to this conversation except to say this: I really like how you are so open to new information and learning RawKidChef. I have never seen you get defensive and try to defend your position, against new evidence. It is truly a …
  • are you tracking your nutrient intake with a calorie counter? could be you aren’t getting enough of something, making you wake up to eat.
  • I have no idea if this would help or not, but I’ve seen a recipe here for hash browns using sweet potato. It calls for a lot of oil, lots of garlic, and is yummy. If I made it again, I wouldn’t use as much oil or garlic, but maybe it would help sati…
  • Stevio – I think you’re forgetting about vegetables, and non-sweet fruits! I get a CSA bin each week, so I eat a lot of different vegetables in addition to lots of yummy fruit. Find a balance that works for you, in terms of getting enough calories… …
  • no way ardesmond2!!!!! those must have been large asian pears for that cost! I get a bag of about 6 tiny little asian pears from my CSA bin each week these past few weeks, and they are nice, but so small I can barely taste them before they’re gone!

  • Caleb – I don’t know about the pear varieties, since I don’t buy them. I live in a small town that used to be pear orchards so there are wild pears all around. I just go and pick bags of pears, but don’t know which variety they are… they are greenis…
    in Favorite Apple? Comment by littlegems
  • my current favorite are the little McIntosh apples. But I love them all! :) I love the fall especially because of the apples and pears in season.

  • what a cool feeling! of course you’ve got to celebrate that! :)
  • oh that would be fun to attend. I wonder how kid friendly it is? I’m taking the CBest test on Nov.4, but maybe we’ll go on Nov. 5. iheartveggies – happy upcoming birthday! :)
  • I often just squeeze a lemon on my salad. But I have a few yummy favorites too. If it is a salad with mostly fruit on lettuce (like pears and apples), I blend an orange and 1-2 dates to make a creamy sweet dressing. For a more vegetable based salad,…
  • ah, thanks Winona and Dodo! :) Rawmama, I didn’t have a recipe for fruit leathers, I just kind of tried out some ideas. I like to use banana because of the consistency. My daughter prefers just plain banana, literally I blend up 3 bananas and spread…
  • yes, they’ll stay white with lemon juice… but then taste like lemon! we’ve tried it; but like I said, I have a very picky eater! :)
  • apple slices are great… but my daughter won’t eat them after they start oxidizing and turn brown… so I don’t like to bring sliced apples anywhere! I let my daughter eat whatever, as long as she’s not allergic to it, and usually she ends up not likin…
  • It was a hit!!!! :) Firs the orange slices at half time were devoured… kids kept coming back for more and more. They liked to have the peel over their teeth, and they enjoyed it. Then, the after game snack was great. Some of the kids didn’t want to …
  • Thanks Bitt and Waterbaby12347! waterbaby12347 – my daughter loves the fruit leathers, and I’ve tried them with her good friend who is a picky eater, and she liked it and asked for more. I like using bananas because they are pretty cheap here in Cal…
  • oh wow, that is horrible! I agree with KathyKath, it sounds like those women were secretly feeling bad about their food, because they KNOW it isn’t healthy. Our society is brainwashed by agribusiness that everyone needs milk, cheese, and more milk, …
  • that is so freakin’ scary! geez, that’s another reason I’m glad I use a midwife. The Pharma mafia is at it again. How can they get a way with this criminal forced drugging of our population?? Why do we let them do this? I’m so sad by this. It is so …
    in The Mothers Act Comment by littlegems
  • KathyKath – I’m thinking about trying my first MC around that time; the book is on it’s way. I was originally thinking of doing it during my high holy days Oct. 1-Oct.9, since it will be a spiritual time for me anyway. But, I’m taking a half day tes…
