• Rawperasinger, you’ll have me as your competition! I jokingly refer to Jason Mraz as my “soulmate,” for the same reasons you mentioned (plus I’ve heard he’s a cat lover, which is a requirement in my book)! :-D

• bodybyRaw: My best suggestion would be to not be so hard on yourself. I had the same issue as you, and I also found it extremely overwhelming. I finally decided to cut myself some slack and focus on eating what I intuitively felt my body wanted. And…

  in How did you do it? I need advice Comment by progressivechick
• bluebells: I can’t say anything from my own experiences, but someone posted a couple weeks ago saying that they got a mouth full of sores after drinking pasteurized juice (which, given that you’re buying it from a store, I am assuming your juice is …

• Definitely normal. Caffeine withdrawal can kick in immediately – even within a few hours of not getting your normal source. I speak from experience – I drink coffee in the AM (I know its not raw, but I’m okay with that), and if I don’t drink it rela…

• InEdensBliss, I feel your pain. Barefoot is by far my favorite too, but not only is it not organic, it isn’t vegan either (if that is an issue for you). :-( I’m still on the lookout for a good replacement, and if I find one, I’ll be sure to let you …

• Heavy metals?!? Ack! See, this is why I need a garden…so I know EXACTLY what I am eating.

• Merritt Island: A-Live & Healthy Organic Cafe Tampa: Grassroots Daytona Beach: Sunrise Park Cafe. St. Augustine: Present Moment Cafe Someone on gi2mr gave me the above info, so unfortunately I can’t vouch for any of the restaurants. He said Pres…

• KelleyS, I totally see where you are coming from, but we need to keep in mind that everyone is different. It’s great if you have old bags around that you can use (and definitely more “green”), but this may not be the case for everyone. For example, …

  in FREE Designer GREEN BAGS!!! Comment by progressivechick
• @rachel_akiko: Yeah, it isn’t a pleasant surprise…especially when it is like $30 worth of nuts. @Winona: Ack, this is frustrating. The soaking/drying thing is so time-consuming that I had hoped to do a large batch and have it last a while. I guess t…

  in HELP! My nuts keep molding... Comment by progressivechick
• Oh…maybe that’s it! No, I was definitely storing them in my cupboard, and they molded in about 4 days!! I’ll keep this batch in the fridge and hope for the best. (I may need a bigger fridge, LOL.) Thanks!

  in HELP! My nuts keep molding... Comment by progressivechick
• @Emeraldgem and Queenfluff: Yeah, I’m kind of thinking I don’t really need a food processor. I think I might give it a couple months without it and see how it goes. :-) I haven’t been using it for chopping or any other fancy things – just for pureei…

  in Blender vs. Food Processor (vs. Mandoline) Comment by progressivechick
• Thanks for the responses guys! (Sorry I was delayed in getting back…for some reason it didn’t inform me of the replies.) I’ve been drinking tons of smoothies (about 60% of my diet, I’d say), so I think that once my blender dies, I’ll upgrade to the …

  in Blender vs. Food Processor (vs. Mandoline) Comment by progressivechick
• BTW, I should clarify: when I say “high-quality blender,” I don’t mean a VitaMix. I’d love one, but I just can’t afford it right now. I’m thinking about the KitchenAid ProLine blender, but if anyone has any brand suggestions, I’d appreciate that, to…

  in Blender vs. Food Processor (vs. Mandoline) Comment by progressivechick
• I never want to be the bearer of bad news, BUT…I have heard that these new prices are permanent. (I live in Florida, and it has gotten ridiculous here, too!) Most of the problem is oil, of course, and a little is due to ethanol, but a lot of the pro…

  in How old are you? Comment by progressivechick
• Big topic for me right now. I was on various pills for years, and each had a horrible side effect (e.g., crazy mood swings and NO SEX DRIVE – and I mean NEVER!). On the plus side, they are convenient, make periods last only a couple days, clear up y…
