• Sorry to hear that some of the significant others eat junk food. Is there any way you can dissuade them? Explain that it's upsetting for you to be around the junk?

• I used to live with a meat and cooked food eater... I didn't like it. If i live with someone again, I don't think I can handle meat in the house - it just doesn't jive with my attitude. I'm not big on cooked food either - if someone wants healthy co…

• I've had to keep in mind - acceptance, patience. The food is a non-issue with my current boyfriend (luckily) but when I see other things that I wish are different, I am reminded to be patient and loving, because it is wise to let someone change at t…

• Congrats on finding the raw food diet!! It can REALLY work for you. Don't get discouraged if a few recipes turn out wrong, or if you find that on some days you're eating less raw than you wanted. This of this as a super exciting journey of discovery…

• I make this recipe but use yellow carrots. The yellow are less flavorful than orange carrots. And I make a mushroom-oil gravy to go on it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. In fact, that sounds good - ill have that for dinner with my nut portobella patties from …

• The first time I came off the pill, nothing happened for 8+ months. Finally I had to take some sort of pill from the doctor, so that I could cycle again. I hate to recommend medication.

• Keep in mind that it does get easier. Your tastes change, your addictions change. Recently I broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years, and through all of that emotional trauma, did i seek out cooked food? NOPE! I sought the comfort of my delicious raw …

• Ah yes, the mudslide pie - that's exactly the one i'm thinking of!! Ani Phyo has a breakfast scramble in her book - i haven't tried it. Matthew Kenny's is the one where you make the cashew-coconut 'tofu' first, right?? I want to give the porto sausa…

• poke a fork into the bottom of the young coconut when it's on it's side, when you're ready to start hacking it open. That way you won't have your precious fingers anywhere near the knife!!

• derryckl - That was a BEAUTIFUL description of the raw journey. Very eloquent! Raw is a journey - and it's about a state of mind. Those hit home for me. Years after first hearing about raw, i'm still adjusting my raw diet week to week, and i'm striv…

• woah - you cook vegan food for him? are you 100% raw? I truly can't imagine cooking vegan food for someone. I dislike cooking, and i never have cooked food in my house. i'd be willing to eat out, having some cooked vegan food - but preparing it for …

• They certainly don't have to be vegan, but it sure is great if they are health conscious. I'm honestly quite all right with dating a meat eater, as long as they eat small amounts of meat, and they keep it away from my raw food. LIVING with a meat ea…

• Sultaria - there's no way to prove that walnutty is telling the truth. Contact your market directly and ask them. Don't believe rumors on the internet - MOST things are scare tactics. We need to spread love, not fear.

• berryraw makes a great point. refined sugars are added to any sweet wines.... it's best to choose a table wine, so that you're not getting as many added sugars and the calorie content is lower than dessert wines.
