• Hmmm, I’ve had a problem with parchment paper and banana crepes… they really do stick. But greenghost is right, it does not need ‘wax’ or olive oil. Although, I’ve never tried wax paper.

• Great tip on the olive oil! That will really help with “fragile” food like crepes. Foil is a likely not a good idea… it doesn’t let the air “circulate or pass through. Even parchment paper allows for faster drying under the ffod… better than teflex …

• Yes, parchment paper. They sell white and brown parchment paper. I’ve never used plastic. I hope your dehydrator works well. A fan (on the side) is very helpful to dry food evenly… so, try putting it in a place that is ‘dry’ and where the air ‘moves…

• Hmmm, then you can’t make the onion bread. I agree with omshanti. Italian. It’s a favorite of many. Try a lasagna or pesto sauce with zoodles (spiraled zucchini noodles). We made a pesto sauce recently and loved it. We gobbled it right up. Double se…

• The Matt Amsden’s onion bread with James Russell’s wilted kale salad as a topping. And for dessert Cheflandria’s mango cheesecake… never fails. The cheesecake requires a high-speed blender… it is so good. And, well worth it! You can use agar instead…

• Vegfean, even greens have toxins… you just can’t eat them all the time and every day. You should vary your food. As for edible sweet potato leaves? Hmmm, I’ve never seen them. I wouldn’t know if they are edible…

• Geespeen, try their Peanut Punch drink… it is amazing! It’s like drinking a peanut smoothie with an aftertaste of Reese’s Peanut Butter cups. Mmmmmm. Although, since we’ve been there they added plantago fiber… whatever that is.

• RawKidChef, thanks for mentioning that germinating affects the alkalinity of the nut. I think it’s good for us to know that there is that difference.

• Lagston, with your high-speed blender your juicer may never see the daylight again… unless you’re getting way too much fiber from your blended drinks/soups/etc. You got a blender and a food processor… how about a dehydrator? But, I think a bigger fo…

• Vitamix… I own both BlendTec and Vitamix. Both purchased within the same year. copy-paste from this post The BlendTec is easy to clean – both the container and the base. And, yes it’s powerful enough that you may not need a tamper; but, don’t stuff …

• Blenders to not juice (getting rid of the fiber), they just blend. Champion juicer is a masticating juicer… but it is one masticating juicer that does not juice greens.

• Well, I don’t know about sealed vs. not-sealed. But, it depends on the type of juicer you used. Masticating, triturating, centrifugal…etc. Each juice and preserve differently. Centrifugal is usually 30-60 minutes (it oxidizes fast). The others, take…

• Neat website. Btw Winona, I checked your website… and really like the curry paste recipes you have. I love Thai; I love Panang. I don’t make Thai food at home, but I am going to have to find galangal (whatever that is) and try some of your recipes.

• My hair was gross and nasty after a week of no shampoo. I took 1-2 Tbsp of flaxseed oil for 2 weeks (my stomach couldn’t take it after a while so I reduced the amount). I was told the oily-ness was my body trying to “over-grease” my scalp because it…
