• Thank you everyone for your ideas/recipes; I was also wondering about salad dressing ideas! Renoir is right. Nama Shoyu is soy sauce that is made from cooked soybeans (miso too). The “unpasteurized” brands are cultured and then packaged and sold wit…

• ziggytaxi, I just thought of two other things – for me, when I went back to eating cooked food a few months ago, the 2 things I noticed were water & fiber. I was getting plenty of both with raw (& juicy) plant foods, but I had to pay more at…

• ziggytaxi, I once tried to do 100 raw all at once x%x it wasn’t right for me at the time either. About eight or nine months later, I naturally transitioned into mostly raw: I ate meat, but everything else raw, for about the last two and a half years…

• I made poemomm’s two crust pie crust (with almonds & a little macadamia nuts) in the food processor, and it was very oily. Even though it had dates in it, I am thinking of trying just the nuts to make almond butter. Someone else said somewhere t…

• You might also try adding a little agave – I haven’t tried it with fruit roll-ups, but anything I dehydrate with agave takes a lot longer and is more sticky.

• The more water in your “batter” and the thicker it is poured onto the Teflex sheet, the more it will crack. I usually set the temp. at 100 F & spread it thin. Check it often so you can get it out before it gets crispy.

• I have used the Sunfood jungle peanuts, & I never soak them. They have always been good.

• Thanks, amysue! Most of the things you mentioned sound great to me, so even if my son doesn’t like them, I’ll be trying them out! Especially the fun idea for the salad people :)

• Renoir, thanks for the bread recipe, and yes, he likes almond cheese. pianissima, the whole visual thing was something I had forgotten about. Today for lunch, I made a raw pizza. Just crust, pizza sauce, & poemomm’s real cream cheese. I thought …

• You rock! I made a drink this morning that my son really liked. Your idea was great, pianissima – if I just make things readily available there should just be a smooth transition. As he gets more raw, healthy choices, he will get used to it without …

• pianissima, thanks for the input. I have had him help me, and I think that it helps him want to eat it more; he likes to make things look pretty. We have also started growing a garden – last year was the first year, but this year he is going to try …

• I don’t have any of the jungle peanuts right now – I’ll have to get some now, though. My son loves pepperoni pizza, and so far, he doesn’t like any of the pizzas I have made. I may try the raw pepperoni on this site, but it has liquid smoke in it, s…

• rawclaire, thanks for the ideas! It helps to hear your perspective. I didn’t have the experience of eating raw as a child, so I didn’t know what to do to help him. I talked to my son today and explained that we are not the same people as his grandpa…

• The reason people say you “should” do something is that it works for them. David Wolfe says that people use either carbohydrates, protein, or fat for their main source of fuel, and that it is individual. He also says that the type who use fat for th…

• Alix 1962, I looked at the weblite for Living Tree Community and it said the almonds are alive, but the cashews, Brazil nuts, and pecans don’t say they are alive. I called the company to ask about the cashews, and the man told me they are “flash-hea…

• Alix 1962, Thanks for all the information. I have been wondering why macadamia nuts don’t appeal to me now (I just decided to go 100% raw about 3 weeks ago). lapetitemort, Thanks for the source info.

• That’s interesting! I love some of the foods I make when they are freshly made – at room temperature – but I have a hard time eating the leftovers from the fridge. Now I know why. I guess I’ll just have to make smaller batches , or use my dehydrator…
