Is anyone else having a hard time adjusting to preparing raw meals?

I eat mainly fruit, smoothies, salads, hummus, simple things. Now that I'm branching out towards more recipes, I feel like I am having a hard time with it. Maybe i need to plan specific meals then go to the store and buy just for those meals. By the time i am done with most of these recipes, my kitchen is a wreck, i've spent most of my free time working towards a so-so meal and i'm often eating too late. Do you prepare a lot of ahead of time? It is just so overwhelming sometimes to think of what i need at the grocery store and everything. Not to sound ungrateful, because sites like this are tremendously helpful. Sometimes reading through goneraw, i feel like everyone else is settling in with the recipe/cooking adjustments pretty easily and i wonder if i will ever have that organized calm look you always see of the chefs on raw restaraunt sites. Any advice from more experienced and together raw chefs out there?

  • Thanks Kandace! i think not having a dehydrator is part of my problem. They are so expensive, but will definitely be worth it. i'm going to take your advice and prep as much as i can this weekend. It will feel great to clear out the cupboards and really get things together. i appreciate your advice!

  • My problem is, many of the recipes I come across are for, like, a family of four! This is especially a problem when making things like sauces or rawzagna. I end up throwing half of it away because saving left-overs kinda condradicts the whole "raw food" idea. I am learning, however, how to cut recipes in half or simply make the ones I know that feed more than one on occassions like potlucks.
