• winona: these ones weren’t mushroom based, they were the no chicken nuggets from this site…i think that’s what they were called. very quick and easy, very filling too. i also made the mostly mushroom soup to go with it and it was a great dinner. fee…

• i just went to flip something and totally agree! i hate unplugging it, doing everything i have to do, then plugging it back in. i wonder about the temp too. do you know if the dial temp is air temp or food temp?

• i have done a lot of research on this as i am getting a food processor from my parents as a house warming gift. to start, i borrowed my mom’s 14 cup cuisinart prep for 3 weeks. i hated it, as you have to take out the feed tube entirely to open the l…

• the body is in control and not the mind. it reminds me that i have to stay present with my body to treat it properly, and that my mind can warp the truth but my body always feels what is.

  in What's YOUR Mantra? Comment by lalala
• thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. i have been trying to stick with green smoothies during the day since i usually eat the things i shouldn’t at night when i am sitting and thinking. i know i’m not eating from actual hunger and i t…

• angie, i feel honoured to introduce you to kale chips, as they have become a staple in my life. honestly the best tasting food i have ever put in my mouth (which i find amusing actually, since they are all veggie!). Here’s the link: http://goneraw.c…

• i am really having trouble staying on track at night. i am raw every day until about 7pm and then things start to go downhill into snack land. i made some raw corn chips and 2 big bags of kale chips, so hopefully healthy snacks can keep me motivated…

  in 100% raw challenge! Comment by lalala
• i have either a green smoothie or juice (usually carrots, apple, ginger, beet and spinach) in the morning, depending on whether i have time to clean the juicer or not. this usually holds me until noon for lunch, but if i get snacky i’ll have some fr…

• banana is my “low blood sugar, gonna crash” food. it’s quick and requires no prep. if i have kale chips, i will eat them, but it feeds a more emotional (“i feel like eating something”) need than a super hungry one.

• i have a nesco american harvest that cost me $60. sometimes drying times need to be adjusted (my macaroons took 3 days instead of 1 but my bbq “chicken fingers” took half the time they should have and now are chicken crumbles!), but you get used to …

  in Budget dehydrator? Comment by lalala
• a good mandolin slicer can be fairly inexpensive, around $30, and you should be able to find it at any kitchen or houseware store like linens n things. i haven’t seen any health food stores that carry them.

  in question about slicers Comment by lalala
• i haven’t done very well on juice, but smoothies i can handle. are there any rules for a smoothie fast (ie: quantities of smoothies or certain veggies)?

• i got off a little too last night, and had some cooked food this evening at a bridal shower. i eat a cooked dinner a few nights a week so cooked vegan food doesn’t throw me off too much, but if i eat anything with gluten or dairy i get sick as can b…

• I use natural wax paper (from the healthfood store) for my nesco, but i just had them send me a package of 3 of the fruit roll sheets and now i have 4 in total. i love them…they flex so you can pull things off and clean up in a breeze. totally worth…

• 28 for 6 more months, but i get carded all the time when i’m in the US (drinking age is 21 vs. 19 here). i think part of it is a young face, and the rest of it is that i still find it appropriate to wear sweatpants, hoodies and fuzzy boots everywher…

  in greasy brownies? Comment by lalala
• i find that cutting the walnuts with almonds helps because the almonds are not as greasy. also, adding a little ground flax absorbs liquid.
