• Thanks pianissima! I can pop them in my mouth, but there are A LOT of them. I don’t think I would be able to eat them all before they go bad, so I want to do something fun with them. Maybe I will look up some apricot recipes and just substitute for …

• Anyone? Anyone? I found some recipes online that all call for a saucepan or an oven. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I don’t want them to go to waste! Thanks!

• You don’t actaully “juice” the wheat berries. Some juicers come with a blank plate (without holes in it) so it just mushes the wheat berries up real good into kind of a paste. You could use a food processer instead if your juicer doesn’t have the bl…

• My favorite is pineapple, mango, banana, a few small oranges (or fresh orange juice) with mixed greens (spinach, collard, mustard, turnip). And a few ice cubes. SOOOOO good! Sometimes it is a little spicy (I think that might be from the mustard gree…

• Dagny – I love the caramel apple idea! One of my girlfriends also suggested frozen chocolate dipped bananas in lieu of ice cream. Since we will be there for 10 days, I will obviously be bringing a bunch of my own raw food, since who knows what other…

• So I proposed a compromise to the family… My suggestion was to serve all veggie dogs or boca burgers or even Tofurky sausages (obviously not raw, but at least meatless!). I’m sure half the people wouldn’t even know the difference. My sister objects …

• I tend to use the gross out factor with my family sometimes since the “what it does to your body” isn’t always effective. My dad (and mom sometimes) still smokes and has been smoking since he was a teenager, and drinking too. So they aren’t as conce…

• Thank you all for your responses! It’s nice to have some support. I actually really really really LOVE my family. I grew up in a HUGE very close-knit family and I am close with all of my cousins. My dad is one of 13 kids and my mom is one of 7. I ha…

• Mon46 – A lot of raw restaurants (and even raw cookbooks) use non-raw ingredients such as Nama Shoyu, miso, nutritional yeast, etc. Whenever I have marinated mushrooms at Cafe Gratitude I second guess it now, since the recipe in their cookbook calls…

• Have you been soaking your nuts? Most nuts have enzyme inhibitors that make them difficult to digest. Soaking the nuts will remove the enzyme inhibitors making them more digestible.

• I see the chiropractor once a month. I can always tell when it is time for a visit when I start to get the headache that starts in the back of my neck. Amazing, isn’t it?!?

• Salt is a good substitute. In a previous post Zoe said that if you marinate mushrooms in lemon juice, salt, olive oil and a little garlic, the remaining liquid is similar to Nama Shoyu and is raw. Beware though… I tried this, and I guess you have to…

• Zoe – I LOVE your new picture!!! Beautiful! As far as food combining, before I went raw I first tried practicing proper food combining. I tell you, eating 100% raw was easier for me than trying to properly food combine! Now I think I have found a go…

• I have used carrot tops in smoothies. I usually use 60% fruit and 40% greens so I can’t really taste the greens much. The carrot tops do have a different texture though… a little stringy kind of. But very nutritious!
