• Before I was raw, i was gf, like yourself. I know Bob’s Red Mill has uncontaminated steel cut oats, but I don’t think they are raw. if you bought raw oat groats, there should be no chance of cross contamination since they are not being milled. For m…

• I read that book a few months ago and i thought it was informative and food for thought, but I LOVE savory foods and dressings and recipes in general so I attribute that book to a very rebellious cooked food binge! I was doing great and I felt like …

• Oh yes. Forgot to mention, I sleep with my jar of cacao! I’ve been working on perfecting a hard raw cacao bar. If it weren’t for cacao, I bet I’d be having an afternoon cup too.

• well, you know i really haven’t stressed over it, but as the weeks go on, I’ve always felt my body will let me know when it’s time for it to go—like my experience with Bragg’s lately—Gosh! All of the sudden, I can’t stand that stuff!

• I have many great green smoothies. You know. I think i like the efficiency of that 1/2 c—get up, drink the coffee, trip to the bathroom (essential-i won’t be able to tolerate missing that trip), exercise, get ready for work, green smoothie.

• When i didn’t have a dehydrator I used my convection toaster oven that went as low as 100 deg. My regular convection oven will go as low as 135 deg. and there is some difference of opinion on proper dehydrating temperatures as it’s the food temp tha…

• I love the names! I’m going to have to change to something much more fun—maybe Joyous Fig! Welcome, SunshineKaty, you sound like me—raw for 2 years, but have fallen off twice for longer periods to about 50% raw. I know there’s no other way for me to…

• I thought I made one that comes out of Raw Food, Real World with soaked cashews, cacao and coconut water. Let me dig this one up. We just made it last week and I know I didn’t have any coconut. Alas, sorry…the recipe is; 2C coconut meat-I used Sunfo…

• So i leave out the spinach and can i add a large handful of cilantro? A whole bunch? I guess what I’m reading is …make a nice guac. and serve it atop a big plate of greens! This indeed would solve my problem.
