  • I'd recommend not buying a round dehydrator. Just wait till you can afford an excalibur. Your food won't turn out well in the round one, so you'd be better off not buying it because you wouldn't use it anyway. :) that's my two sense. i've had an exc…

  • I just placed an order with this company: http://www.rawvegansource.com/ Their prices are AWESOME. $15 for 1lb cacao butter, $15 for 1lb cacao powder, $3 nut milk bags. They even carry irish moss! And the coconut butter bulk price is EXCELLENT - com…
  • The coconut curry is awesome! Sunny garden herb is yummy. Pesto pumpkin seed is very good too. I like the caraway crisp, but not as much as the other three.
  • glamazon - i use vanilla extract. i simply can't afford to use vanilla beans at $2.50 a pop. to grow something easy, i recommend planting basil in your backyard, that stuff grows like a weed. I have a dehydrator, but i ordered those crackers because…
  • The crackers at Livin Spoonful are SOO tasty. http://www.gluten-free-crackers.com/gluten-free-products.html
  • don't buy tahini if you have a high speed blender. just use the blender to grind sesame seeds. i add the sesame seeds to the hummus ingredients (zucchini, oil) or to salad dressing ingredients and whir till smooth. dry your own fruit. sprout seeds a…
  • Thanks for contributing!
  • Are you eating enough fats? I have 2 avocados a day, and lots of greens - i wonder if that's why my lips aren't chapped at ALL this year. It's amazing. I don't have to apply anything, but i use lotion on occasion.

  • This winter, I've been using natural lotion on my lips 1 or 2 times a day. It works like a charm! No chapping, nothing.

  • You're part of the old crowd. I do miss the familiar faces. This site has been so helpful in keeping me raw. I miss the old thread with omshanti.
  • Meditating - I'd love a free vegan husband!! In fact, I'm going outside with my sign TODAY to find myself one. :) In fact, my icon says Free Vegan Hugs. russell james has amazing creations - his quiches are heavenly. too bad i haven't made much raw …
  • Meditating - thanks for starting this thread! I miss hearing your wisdom. Omshanti - I hope all is well with the horses business and the plans for moving. Karuna - The recipes you shared with us were always delightful. Waterbaby - agreed! May we all…
  • Hi Providence, You may hear lots of opinions from people on this site who are new to raw foods. It's best to listen, instead, to folks who have been consistent and successful eating raw over the long term. I am one of those people. I spent 2007 tran…
  • I agree with the suggestion Chris has about the julienne peeler, after buying a $30 spiralizer and using it not often - just get the julienne!!

  • I recently got off the pill, and after minor detox I can say that i'm honestly feeling better than I was before. More emotionally stable, more healthy. I have researched the lady-comp as a birth control option - consider it! I will certainly buy it …
  • Green juice is helpful for me. As a principle, I enjoy a WIDE variety of foods- including non-sweet fruits, oils, nuts, vegetables, greens, fermented veggies, green juice. That way only a PART of my diet comes from sweet fruit.

  • sometimes these challenges give us a chance to grow, zinfandel. whether or not it works it, its a really good chance for you to understand what you're looking for and what works/what doesn't - that's what i've learned anyway, looking back on a faile…
  • How is your boyfriend these days zinfandel?
  • Here's a sample shopping list: http://2juicy.blogspot.com/2008/12/shopping-list.html Find your favorite dressing and eat greens. I eat 2 lb organic greens a day, and my body feels best when I do that. Enjoy!
    in Where do I begin? Comment by Winona
  • You're worried about getting enough protein. I answer that question on my blog here: http://2juicy.blogspot.com/2008/12/protein_5953.html

  • That doesn't look very sweet. 1 cup cacao to 2 Tbsp agave?? Shouldn't there be more agave? I wonder the ratios - if i was to use coco butter, coco oil, cacao, and agave. Would it be solid at room temp? I want to make some raw chocolate to sell - so …
  • Marinated, dehydrated mushrooms served with raw mashed potatoes. Raw spinach tortillas with guacamole salsa and cashew sour cream.
  • ooo i want to attend a raw festival. great website!
  • i bought a refurbished 5000, and it works GREAT! i've been using it for a year.

  • lo - the cavsman doesn't eat pineapple/bananas because they are hybrid fruit. Here's info on it: "http://www.rawguru.com/addiction.html" I don't AGREE with the philosophy in the website, but you asked so i'm letting you know why. I eat hybrid fruit.…
  • Welcome monica! I’m sure you’ll get lots of support and advice here. You can pick and choose, do whatever helps you the most. Three things that have helped me. 1) Learn to make delicious raw food – I bought Ani Phyo’s book, and I Am Grateful (availa…
  • I had forgotten about those recipes! I believe you that raw breads can be tastier than health food breads – everything raw tastes better to me than the cooked version. Cooked breads are my stop gap measure until I can make a pizza crust and tortilla…
  • ditto that angie! i’m 6 months raw… i’m occasionally eating manna bread and ezekial tortillas. It’s much better than the options I WOULD have chosen without those foods. My transition to raw has taken 1.5 years, VERY slow. at first 20% raw, then gra…

  • THIS SITE KEEPS ME RAW!!!! Is that clear enough? I found raw from goneraw, I became raw because of gonerecipes, and I stayed raw because of goneforums. :P
