• r4r, that is so awesome that your DH supports you! That helps a LOT, and maybe your stepson will see your DH's example, since he's the 'man of the house'. I haven't ever made a cheeze before, but if it tastes that much like cheddar, I'll have to get…

• If you are making a stuffed shell like manicotti, try stuffed zucchini instead! Just slice the zucchini really thin (either by hand or lengthwise on a mandolin). Then you can make a pate, cheeze, or stuffing to wrap the zucchini around! Personally I…

• Well, just purchased my first Spiralizer a few minutes ago from Amazon. Wanted to get it months ago, but lost my job and didn't get another one until a few months ago and I've saved enough now to where I could spend a few extra bucks (yay!). I've be…

• Thanks for all of your replies! Y'all aren't too late, I'm probably going to Sur La Table tomorrow or Wednesday, depending on if it ices over here or not!! After reading LOTS of reviews, I've decided I'm going to use my gift card on a mandolin and s…

• Oooooh, I haven't had persimmon yet, but I'm on the lookout after reading a few stories about them last week! I also want to try a durian... where could I buy one of these in Texas? Can you have them shipped to you or should I go to an Asian market.…

  in what "first bite" experience will you always remember---in a good way? Comment by KhaasLadki
• Probably figs. I had never eaten fruit or vegetables before in my life, so I had no clue what to expect when I randomly bought a box of figs grown down the street from me. When I bit into it I could hear the chorus!! I've been hooked on figs ever si…

• I would also like to know how to do this... and also I'd like to know why the recipe pictures are so tiny now? At least, most of them are. I liked it when the pictures were all bigger! :-( Poor Kandace and Ray - I'm sure they get tired of hearing it…

• Oh, one more thing... for the people who use the julienne peeler: does it make matchsticks or will it actually make bendy long pieces of 'noodles'? I mean, matchsticks would be great, too, for making sushi and wraps, but I really like my carrot 'pas…

• Have you got your spiralizer yet? lol - I'm looking at buying the same one you bought and I'm wondering how it will work. I was debating on getting either the Saladacco or just a julienne peeler. Let me know how you like your Saladacco, please!!

• chriscarlton: Yeah, it's sprouted - you have to look really hard to find the tails - they're teeny tiny! I'm going to put a different pic up where I've circled some of them. Last time I sprouted it a bit longer - this time I didn't let it get very l…

  in Does anyone sprout rice to make rice flour? Comment by KhaasLadki
• Here's a picture of the finished result - I don't let mine sprout very long (at least, not this time), so you have to look at the ends of the rice to find the little sprouts. They're so cute! I did find some Sweet Brown Rice at Whole Foods yesterday…

• I've had this problem, too! I'd like to have a more solid answer, but from what I gathered it's because they're not getting rinsed enough. I make lentil sprouts all the time and never had this problem, but when I made chickpea sprouts the first time…

• I actually don’t totally disagree with these articles, which is why, personally, I’m not 100% raw. I think a balanced diet consists of a mixture of cooked and raw vegetables, depending on what type of veggie it is (e.g. to get the wonderful benefits…

• 1) Bananas!! Good source of calories and energy, and easy to take with me when I need to eat on the run. 2) Walnuts (soaked, of course). I can't eat them very often because they trigger a craving in my brain and I'll eat a pound a day if I could! It…

• I definitely think sprouts will help – high protein, lower fat, but very filling! My absolute favorite sprouts are lentil sprouts (although I must admit I haven’t sprouted gobs)! They make great dips, great on salads, in wraps, as a salad instead of…

• I eat at least 2 bananas a day - one is usually in a green smoothie. They're great sources of non-fat laden calories, and they're full of energy. One thing I heard and have adopted is "never eat naked carbs" - don't eat carbs without fat or fiber to…
