  • I have a $35 cuissinart mini prep food processor and it works fine. The only problem I have is with thicker mixtures it gets stuck and I end up having to add a lot more liquid to get things moving (and then it takes longer to dehydrate If I am doing…

  • I have kept stuff for almost a week and it’s been ok. Make sure it is sealed well and it should be all right. Smell it before you use it just in case to make sure it doesn’t smell funky.

  • When I was little, my Noni always had a magnet on the refrigerator with a picture of a cartoon tomato shivering with a sad face. The caption said “Cold destroys fresh tomato flavor.” I have noticed this to be true that refrigerated tomatoes do not h…

    in Is it RAW? Comment by Renoir
  • I was 95 pounds in high school (I am only 5’1” though). I also gained the freshman 15 once I went to college. I attribute that to dorm food and being less active. In HS I did after school sports so pretty much worked out for about 3 hours a day almo…

  • Is there a lot of cilantro in the salsa? I just read another post this week that talked about cilantro making people light headed.

  • The best olive oil is Sciabica. It is amazing! Fresh pressed, unfiltered variety is sooo good! They also have lemon, orange, basil, jalapeno, & rosemary flavors of cold pressed olive oil. www.sciabica.com

  • My routine used to be 45-60 minutes of cardio 3 days a week. The days in between I would do about 30 minutes of cardio and strength training afterwards. Yoga class once a week (usually on weekends). Once I started trying to be 100% raw, I found I ha…

  • I personally don’t like “sweat box” yoga (what I called hot yoga!)... I feel like I can’t breathe as well when it is that hot in the room. I usually do 20-30 minutes of cardio before yoga class, but I try and alternate days depending on the class. L…

  • Wow, I never knew any of this!! I love cilantro, and I use it often, but if you add it all up I guess I am not consuming THAT much of it. I will use it in salsa, guac, salads, etc. but I am not eating the entire batch of salsa or whatever in one sit…

  • Sciabica Orange Olive Oil is sooooo good in brownies!! I love the Basil Olive Oil on salads, and I use the Lemon a lot too. I am spoiled!
    in Dead foods??? Comment by Renoir
  • Substitute dates for agave or maple syrup. Use Sea Salt instead of Nama Shoya or Braggs (you can mix salt with warm water if the recipe needs the liquid). Sciabica Olive Oil is raw. I know the producers, and I trust them when they say cold pressed a…

  • Oh and my favorite green smoothie is banana, mango, pineapple, mixed southern greens and a little fresh squeezed oj to get it moving. yum.

  • Stylestacey - There are some good nut cheese recipes on this site… I mix the “Rich cheddar sauce” with cut up pieces of yellow squash warmed in the dehydrator or warm oven (or car dashboard in the summer!) for mac & cheese. http://www.goneraw.co…

    in raw but broke Comment by Renoir
  • If you make soup in a high speed blender, the friction of the blender often warms the soup a little bit. Also, if I have something that won’t fit in the dehydrator, I will sometimes turn on the oven to the warm setting, and once it is at the “warm” …

  • After my first month raw, I ate cooked vegan food at our favorite thai restaurant with friends. I had the worst stomachache ever! Once your body detoxes from cooked food, it doesn’t need all of the extra mucus that lives in the digestive tract so it…
    in OUCH -- MY STOMACH! Comment by Renoir
  • FYI, frozen veggies are blanched before being frozen so they are not raw… convenient, but not raw. I would stick with fresh. Some easy meals I have made are lettuce wraps filled with “stirfry mix”. At some grocery stores they sell a bagged mix of or…

  • Maybe I will try a sample trial kit you mentioned to see if I like it before I spend a bunch of money… I have done that before and been stuck with cleansers I didn’t like just because the were pricey. Do I find an option for that on the website? Or …

  • I know what you mean…. my fp does the same thing. What I do is use a couple of roma tomatoes in the fp with the cilantro, onion, etc. and then dice up cherry or grape tomatoes and mix in by hand.

  • kathrynintheraw – are you doing the SWF? maybe you are absorbing some of the salt and that is why you are retaining fluids? 2 of my girlfriends and I are all starting on March 1…. I am transitioning into the MC with all raw today, only smoothies tom…

  • I just made a fabulous rice dish last night using parsnips. I julienned then chopped real small into rice size bits, then used the spanish rice recipe on this site. I put it in the dehydrator for a little while to warm and it was soft and delicious!…

  • Breakfast and lunch are raw for me, and if I have extra time I will sometimes make a raw meal or recipe for dinner. Lately because it has been so cold, I have been craving warm food so I have been eating some cooked vegan food for dinner.
