  • I would guess most raw vegans are vegans for health primarily because otherwise they'd probably be just regular vegans. I know plenty of animal loving vegans that live mostly on french fries and other garbage food. Most eat healthier but raw people …
  • I like my Pampered Chef one better than my Japanese one but let me warn you that no matter how careful you are, you will eventually cut yourself. I mean serious amounts of gushing blood. I use my food processor when ever possible.

  • Wow! It amazes me that you can exercise much at all with hypothyroidism. Some of the main symptoms are low energy and muscle weakness.
  • I have the same reaction as Blueyz every time I drink GT's! It's never happened with my homemade stuff or any of the other brands I've bought but GT's gives me exactly the same effect as hard alcohol. What do you think is up?
  • My favorite is quick too! Super smooth and rich mousse! 2 or 3 avocados, dark cocoa powder, alcohol-free vanilla, and honey, whip in food processor. I've tried adding other stuff like coconut oil, dates, sea salt, but it tastes best without them. Yo…
  • The cheap round ones are made for beef jerky and will cook your food. Excaliburs are great. I got mine from Craigs List.
  • Napa Valley's sunflower oil is awesome too and cheaper than olive oil. I use it for anything I don't want to taste like olive, especially sweet things.
  • True kefir is cultured using kefir grains which look like lumps of cauliflower not starter. Starter isn't self-replicating and supposedly doesn't have the same range of pro-biotics. Water kefir is a completely different grain that's looks like littl…
  • I use these. They really work and you can get them at any health food store and a lot of supermarkets: http://www.worldpantry.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prmenbr=201614&prrfnbr=211912&pcgrfnbr=204130 http://www.worldpantry.com/cgi-…
  • What is wrong with fat? I can see the problem with cooked fat and animal fats but what's wrong with vegetable fat? I think that people naturally gravitate to fatty foods because their body needs them! Some people don't because they don't need them. …
  • Ooo, the sunflower seeds sound good. I always thought zucchini hummus lacked the filling richness of a chickpea one even with lots of oil. The sunflower seeds would definitely help!
  • I second the raw carob suggestion! It's so good! I get mine from Gold Mine Natural Foods. If you really want cacao nibs you can find Navitas at some vitamin stores. I got mine at the Vitamin Shoppe. Carob is way better though and is naturally sweet …

  • Any veggie or nut pulp is good dehydrated and then ground into flour in a coffee grinder. Keep the powder in the fridge and it'll last forever. You can use it for pates, crackers, sauces, soups, bread, cookies, etc. I sometimes juice or make nut mil…

  • You probably know this but don't eat very many bananas or sprouted rice because they're binding. I second the green smoothies and I mean green! I put at least 6 oz of greens in mine. That's a whole regular size bag if you're buying it packaged. Also…
  • My husband was a raw meat eater but over time I convinced him to go vegetarian and even vegan! I didn't nag him or show him PETA videos. I just made him good food and showed him convincing articles and books. Good people can eat meat. You know what …
  • My husband says he's seen the raisins drying in the fields here in CA and why would they sulfur black raisins? Sulfur is used to preserve the color so why use it? I get delicious sun dried raisins at TJ's so I hope they're raw!

  • I love buckwheaties! Just sprout buckwheat and then dehydrate. They're wonderfully crunchy and yummy. Remember to only let a little tail sprout though. Buckwheaties are great in granola, raw chocolate, sprinkled on top of salads or whatever. I made …
  • Huong is way right. Raw taro root is poisonous. Also never juice mango with the skin still on or if you bite it off the skin be careful. A lot of people develop a rash. Be careful with buckwheat greens (not sprouts). If you eat a lot like when juici…
  • Hey can anyone give me suggestions for feeding a 4 lb chihuahua with rounded teeth and a underbite? I also have an 9 lb chi and a 8 lb pomeranian but they're aggressive and would hopefully take to a chewy diet.
  • These ones are my favorite and stay crispy! http://www.goneraw.com/recipe/craque-lin-flax-crackers I make them with the sesame seed option. Love them! You can flavor them with whatever herbs you want. I have some fresh organic thyme that I think I'l…
  • Maybe a saltine cracker? I know that works with sugar.
  • One thing I noticed is that the actual drying space is bigger than a 5 tray excalibur but smaller than a 9 tray. Personally I wouldn't want to do without a door. I use mine a lot for glass baking pans, bowls and plates. It's a great way to make the …
  • Wow, this sounds awesome!! I used to make a Thai dressing with pb, lime juice and soy sauce. Yours sounds way better though! Where do you get your raw pb? Do you just make it out of the jungle peanuts?
  • I heard that Cascadia farms and Whole Foods organic frozen veg are not blanched. If anyone knows for sure, please comment. Thanks!
  • If you have an old one they'll give you a $75 credit. Look here: http://www.vitamix.com/household/service/tradein.asp Believe it or not I have an old 2200 Sidewinder and I plan on using that program later. It even applies to reconditioned.

  • Try some plain white vinegar. I buy it buy the gallon for cleaning. If it's a serious smell you can throw in a bit of baking soda too but let it finish foaming before you run it.
  • I’m in CA too but I’ll be your online friend. Let me know if you’d like my email address. Hugs
  • I just wipe them with a damp paper towel. You’re never supposed to rinse mushrooms or they soak up water like a sponge. Yes I was a food network addict
  • Hi Sweetpea! Thanks for the awesome looking brownie recipe on your blog. Hey what does the mesquite meal do? Could I skip it? I could get some from Gold Mine Nutritionals but it’s a bit of a drive. Also is there a photo album or something where we c…
  • I imagine you could do the second test on the Excalibur website but just freeze the burger instead of dehydrating it. http://www.excaliburdehydrator.com/testing_for_… Here’s the info: Test 2: Peroxidase Enzyme This test uses the enzyme peroxidase (f…
