• I think the blank plate may be a little more than what I want. I still want it to be “thick”, but not like almond butter. I’m going to try adding more water next time. I thought that by doubling the recipe, the weight would push it down… but that do…

• Thanks for posting! I plan to host my “first” raw food lunch in Aug. I’m adding a “bean” dip to the menu which I absolutely enjoyed. Since the friends I am hosting for are curious about raw foods… I decided to only use recipes that taste good every …

• I’d love to hear about it. I live in NVA (Northern Virginia)... I would certainly drive down there to try a raw food restaurant. Do they have a website?

• I think refrigeration before freezing would work Avo Cado. I would try that first. Or, you could probably use brown parchment paper to cover it if you don’t want to use plastic.

• I was dehydrating Rainier Cherries… so they look very oxidized because of their light color. I thought of putting lemon or pineapple juice on them to preserve next time… but, it doesn’t sounds like either would help. Thanks!

• I did it! Plus, I have 2 more raw food lunches lined-up! I served beanless enchiladas, onion bread with guacamole, pad thai, olive spread with cucumber dressing, blueberry pie, and orange creme pie. The beanless enchiladas and orange creme pie were …

• Wow, thanks for the advice. The onion bread would be topped with guacamole and tomato slices. I think I WILL have two salads with two dressings. And, zoodles with a choice of marinara and alfredo. Good idea. I don’t have a blender, just a magic bull…

• Some say there is B12 in plant source. Comfrey & Alfalfa. Plus, brushing your tongue in the morning (without toothpaste and before eating) “creates” B12. But, I do not have a reliable, scientific source for this. It’s just something I’ve heard o…

• Dates ARE RAW? I just figured they are non-raw like all the other dried fruit sold. I wonder if it would work to have the kids mash up some avocado and mix it in with carob powder. There’s a recipe for that on welikeitraw. But, I don’t know if the k…

• Well, if the coconut chips are not raw… you’re left with a cooked dessert. Dates aren’t raw – right? You can just add the coconut chips to the dates (no agave)... the dates are sweet enough. Oh yeah, and I remember having apples in a pineapple juice…

• Hmmm, I can’t think of many desserts that I made that didn’t require a food processor or dehydrator. I’ll keep thinking though Here’s a very simple, easy one. Dates and coconut butter. Cut the dates in half, spread the coconut butter on top. Yumm! I…

• I have that book too. Yes, the samosas look delicious. I want to try that recipe too. But, first… the noodles. Scooping huge chunks out and cutting them sounds like julienned coconut. I know it will taste the same whether julienned or noodled; I jus…

• Stillfire, good question. Guess it doesn’t matter… except if you want to sprout you keep them out of water (following the sprouting process) or if you don’t want to sprout you leave store in water. I’m just about to practice sprouting… I don’t plant…

• Were they hulled/unhulled sesame seeds? Get the unhulled ones. Anne Wigmore’s book (The Sprouting Book) has a few black & white pictures of sprouted seeds, and the sesame seeds don’t look much different from their non sprouted form.

• Hi lauralai. Someone asked about this in an earlier post. Here’s the link to it. It’s the my longest post on that forum (July 5). Basically, you store them in the fridge or dehydrate them. They keep in the fridge stored in water up to a week… changi…

• I think the sliminess has to do with the seed. It is not a good seed. I can’t seem to find the book to give you the refernce. I haven’t sprouted chickpeas, so I do not know if sliminess is ‘normal’ for chickpeas. I just bought some food grade hydrog…

• Thanks Lucy. I have Ani’s book too! I bought a tub of red miso; I feel like I need to eat it before it goes “bad”. These next weeks, raw meals will be all about miso and umeboshi sauce… starting Friday. I cycled 11 miles to work today, so I may not …

• Water fast 1 or 2 days. Make sure you drink plenty of water. You can fast from sunset to sunset. Or skipping a day (or 2) of breakfast, lunch, dinner. I have never done a 3 or more day fast unsupervised. I never heard of an orange juice cleanse. Usu…

• Zoe, that’s interesting information… only 1%. And even more shocking… 3% for 99% raw foodists. Does that mean if you go 100%, you don’t use dry spices? I don’t think you’ll even know how many nutrients your getting… it all depends on the soil it was…
