  • Okay…so I’ve been slowly but surely moving towards natural body products that are void of animal products and animal testing. I use Kiss My Face shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion. Jason’s deodrant. Tom’s toothpaste. Alba’s face wash and body was…
  • Socal, I echo Spiritedmama’s sentiment that your post was open and refreshingly personal. Thank you for that. I appreciate your thoughts on food being utilitarian and share in your concern for the overconsumption of food and our resources. I want to…

  • Sounds yummy Spiritedmama. I allow myself some coffee “as a treat” about every other month, but I understand the ritual of coffee. I very much have a daily ritual with green tea. It helps to center and ground me throughout the day. What I don’t unde…

  • Mjfaerie, Sprouted wheatberries….yum!!!These do it for me. I like to make Alissa Cohen’s wheatberry salad…but if you’re craving a cooked rice experience rinse the sprouted wheatberries in warm water and put a little salt and olive oil on them. That …

  • I started about 2 years ago with a big salad everyday for lunch. 1 year ago I ditched the Fiber One cereal I was eating for breakfast for fresh fruit. Then about 6 months ago I started playing with a raw dinner here and there and replaced all my sna…
  • I’ve written about this before, but will gladly share my information again. I wrote to several companies about their frozen veggies. Cascadian Farms was the only one that flash-freezes and applies no heat whatsoever to their frozen vegetables. I don…
  • I got this off of the “Raw Food Right Now” blog. It seems to make sense. I’ve not been so intent on eating a hearty breakfast since I’ve been progressively more raw. I usually have a piece of fruit at 10ish then maybe a 10 or less almonds around noo…

  • I encourage everyone to read “Rethinking Thin” by Gina Kolata. It discusses how we are genetically programmed for a set weight range. When we try to go below that our body’s metabolism slows and our body sabotages our “diet” by employing fattening c…

  • Spiritedmama, Yes!!! Thank you. pass it on. I should clarify, I’m only including organic non-gmo tofu. With my hypothyroidism I don’t need ANYmore challenges there. Cheers to our health!

  • I had a week long mini-crisis last week, I kept craving raw chocolate, dried fruit, nuts and nutbutters, like all day long. Oh yeah, and I gained 4 pounds. I decided for the time being to add some low cal cooked veggies, sprouted grains and soy prod…

  • Hi trip, Whenever I’ve made flax crackers I’ve only soaked them for about an hour. There’s some recipes on this site and one suggests 1/2 hour to 8 hours. Maybe overnight was too long.

  • Ambikalee, I haven’t tried potatoes either. Marinated squash might work too. The soaking idea sounds great. Let me know how it turns out!
  • Hello Ambikalee, I’m thinking Breakfast Burrito. You can make a corn tortilla (fresh corn and flax, dehydrate). Then shred potatoes and add onion, ground flax, salt and pepper then dehydrate, you may have some hashbrown-like things. You could then u…
  • Thanks Patty708, What did you think of the recipes? I’m a little wary of signing up for newsletters and the like.

  • Germin8, Your post is a good example of how when we are eating out we make the best of the situation. Your dinner was mostly raw! For me, when I get into all or nothing thinking it makes my life not so balanced:)
  • Barose, I count calories because if I don’t, I gain weight. Others may not need to.

  • Hey, thought folks would be interested in this recipe and the nutritionals! http://www.recipezaar.com/130091

  • Thanks for the insight jedisunrise. I didn’t think to sprout the almonds before “milking” them. The recipes I’ve seen don’t indicate sprouting them.

  • Okay…so I’ve come to a comfortable “middle” ground on 100% raw. I’m allowing myself to eat cooked food when I go out to restaurants. In that context, I’ve been 100% raw for 30 days except two dinners out:)
  • Deasmiles, Congratulations! Your joy comes right through the screen! Blessings to you…
  • Okay, so I was 100% raw for 14 days then chose to eat some vegan Indian food last night. The choice component is important to mention, because I didn’t just give into a craving. I wanted to enjoy food with friends and family. Woah! About two hours a…
  • Hi Ambikalee, Thanks for sharing that! Lately, I’ve been thinking of the usefullness in labeling myself 100% raw. I really think the all or nothing gets me into some obsessive thinking. Like, if I’m going to have cooked dinner, it may as well all be…
  • I made it a week and decided to extend it one more week! Day by day, eh?
  • This is so cool…On Saturday, I gave myself a 100% 7 day raw food challenge. Its day 6. Tomorrow will be the 7th…I’ll re-assess and see if I want to extend the challenge! Feeling great, so far:)
  • theatregirl and Zoe, I may re-try this recipe out of Alissa Cohen’s book then. I let my groats soak for 12 hours and sprout for 48….My raisin cookies were yucko! Maybe shortening the time will improve them:)
  • Great idea humananimal! It would be cool to see what all the buzz is about!
