• meganthevegan: i’m not sure you have to soak pine nuts. them and macadamia nuts are the only ones i don’t usually soak. they’re pretty fatty and creamy to begin with. anyone know?

• does the crystal do anything for wetness? i don’t usually have a smell issue, but i hate the sticky wet feeling, so i’m still wearing antiperspirant. otherwise i tend to get pit puddles.

• i just made the dressing portion of Matt Amsden’s mock tuna salad to go over the sunflower seeds i have soaking, and it tasted pretty mayo-y to me. mind you, i always ate miracle whip instead, so what do i know. but if you’re ok with mustard, then t…

• i have the same problem and i just eat them fast enough that i don’t notice, but i have tried putting a layer of collard leaf over the nori to prevent the moist filling from soggy-ing the nori. definitely worked, and so did using a dry pate over the…

• squeeze lime juice over it. it prevents the oxidation that turns it brown. i always put citrus in anything i make with avocado (like guacamole) that i’m not going to eat right away.

• i sprout quinoa and use it in salads, but i can’t say i love sprouted grains or beans. the always have an “off” taste to me.

• i’m hooked on Galia melons right now. I’m salivating at the thought of blending one up for breakfast! i wish melons went better with other things, but i always have to eat them first thing in the morning on an empty stomach or i feel off all day.

• i usually increase the amount of dry ingredients to onion. my recipe is usually: 1.25 c ground flax 1.25 c sunflower seeds, ground 2 medium onions 1/4 c olive oil 1/3 c tamari that gives you more gunk for the onion. also, make sure you mix it togeth…

• kitchenaid makes a 12 cup too, and that’s the one i’ve used. i’ve used one, but not yet purchased (i’m moving into a new house and this is supposed to be a housewarming present, but for now i’m using my mom’s cuisinart prep plus). don’t get me wrong…

• cuisinart does make a great food processor, but after extensive research i chose the kitchenaid food processor. you’ll get the same consistency, but i find it a little easier to use, in the same price range, and the kitchenaid comes with a small bow…

• I find with all melons they have a laxative effect….if i didn’t have to go when i started eating than i will about 15 minutes later. cantaloupe is the worst for me, i have the least trouble with watermelon.
