• Mikfizzle, you can get pretty close. The thickness/richness will depend upon the water to coconut ratio. This will make coconut milk. However, when you say "regular fresh coconut milk" it makes me think you are talking about the coconut water that c…

  in How do you make coconut milk? Comment by daniefon
• I just blend coconut (fresh or dried) with water until smooth and then strain it using a nut milk bag or piece of cheese cloth. The amount of water you use will determine whether it's milk or cream. You can use baby coconuts, but I think the mature …

• well, you could buy crackers to use as crust. but i think i'd get more creative. how about using a vegeble peeler, sharp knife or mandoline to slice a zucchini into strips lengthwise. let them rest with a little salt on them to get rid of excess moi…

• you may heard it said "nothing tastes as good as thin feels" how about a new one "nothing cooked tastes as good as I feel when I'm raw!"

• I think you deal with them patiently. What I mean is the longer you eat raw, the more you will start to crave raw foods instead of cooked foods. And, give yourself a break, you'll feel better physically soon enough, so don't punish yourself, it'll o…

• I also think that raw fruits and vegetables are much bulkier in the digestive system so they physically take up more room than say cheese or meat. I've read in beauty magazines that models stay away from fruit and vegs when they need to have a flat …

• I do much better with seeds than I do with nuts. Not only do I feel better, but my weight will fluctuate to the upper end when i am eating nuts and to the lower when eating seeds. I can do just about everything I need to with seeds. I have quit keep…

• Before I was raw, I had a big problem with carbs. (of the pasta, bread, rice, potato variety) I craved them, I ate them, and it made crave even more! I tried switching to whole grain everything, same problem. So, I gave them up completely. I craved …

• I've posted this on another thread, but I'll say it again anyway! I work with a guy that loves to tease me, he's a very sad eater. He really is just playing around because we're friends. He's a couple of years younger than me, but I always tell him …

  in I'm about to cry Comment by daniefon
• I get really tired of the "doesn't that look to you" jokes when people are eating or serving big meaty things. I've been raw about a year and a half, but was vegetarian for 15 years before that. So, when someone makes a stupid joke like "oh, don't y…

• my estimation, without counting exactly is that you are getting about 600 calories a day, that would explain it. what about a few seeds, maybe part of an avocado. The fats found in avocadoes are beneficial. No matter what, 600 calories are way too f…

  in Scared Comment by daniefon
• I think a good place to start is by finding recipes that sound good to you. Do a search for say...enchiladas...if they were something you liked in the past. Then try making the recipe, tweak it if you need to, to suit your tastes. Next time, try ano…

• On the home page I posted a recipe called Vanilla Malt. I add a handful of spinach to it most of the time. You absolutely can't taste the spinach. Try that, if you don't like it, you've only lost a small amount of staples. My advice is to start with…

  in Buckwheat groats Comment by daniefon
• Thank you Nancy! The only reason I dried them twice was because the first time I used them in crackers, all I had was the buckwheaties, not the soaked groats.

• On the coconut water, in raw recipes it means the water from a baby coconut. You can find them in asian markets, some grocery stores and health food stores. They look like a pointy white fibrous thing. You have to cut off some of the white at the to…

• One thing I've noticed is the longer I am raw , the more simple my taste has become. So, I want fewer of the expensive items. I am happy with primarily fresh fruits, vegetables, and a few seasonings. Nuts aren't that appealing, except for the 3 braz…
