• I actually just saw this yesterday in Ulta. I don’t know anything about it, but I did like the compact packaging. Let me know if you try it. I’ve been die hard Bare Minerals user for some time, but always open to try something more natural.

• Mmmm, I love Jicama! I peel and slice it into ‘fries’ and eat it with hummus. I also have a wrap recipe that I use it in, which I will be posting soon. We tried making the perogie recipe from RAWvolution cookbook by Matt Amsden, didn’t turn out at a…

• Wow Roadrunner, I would love to eat like you! Except minus the 4000 cal. Lol. I could stand 2000 or less (need to lose 15lbs). Any tips on getting there? I find food to be a daily and CONSTANT struggle for me.

• Hmmm, this is an interesting topic, About a year and a half ago, literally overnight I got a ‘belly’. I was thin as a rail and suddenly I looked 4 months pregnant! It didn’t go away. This was shortly after I gave up meat for good. At the time I was …

• I would say just stick to organic & fresh & stay away from things like garlic, onion, hot peppers, etc. Cruciferous veggies may make mommy & baby gassy, you just have to experiment. It’s really important to stay hydrated so lots of fresh…

• Just a little update…my uncle passed away last night. It was a quick and somewhat painless process, so we’re happy about that at least.

• Thanks for the info! He’s a meat & potatoes, fried food & beer type guy. I’m hoping he’ll want to make some diet changes. I plan on just giving him some suggestions and then sending him in the right direction as far as researching diet, etc.…

• Maybe you could pick a few key ingredients you have or would like to try & type them in the ‘recipe’ section & see what comes up. There are so many smoothie ideas, different types of salads (maybe try a slaw), veggie wraps, sun burgers, soup…

• Yes, that’s true. When I first attempted to go raw, I couldn’t get enough nuts! Of course, I gained weight & felt terrible, but it did help me to transist. I try to use seeds in my recipes & nuts for special occasions. You’ll find your cravi…

• Green smoothies would be great for a fast. You give your digestive system a huge break without the serious detox symtoms of a water fast. And you’ll still have the energy to go about your daily tasks. Keep it posted when you’re starting, I’d like to…

• Funny, I just wrote about not craving chocolate anymore! Yes, green smoothies saved me!! As well as eating raw in general…I have far fewer cravings for the bad stuff!

  in juicing to curb cravings Comment by raw_mama
• that’s a great idea about juicing and freezing. I also love lime juice on salads with just a sprinkle of himalayan sea salt. it’s a great replacement for a fatty salad dressing.

• I would suggest lots of smoothies! For you & your boys. Children are naturally drawn to fruit, so offer them all they can eat. I definitely agree with allowing your children to choose their own foods, just give them a wide variety of healthy cho…

• RawLibrarian- I live in Lorton, about 20 miles or so south of DC. Where do you find the farmer’s markets at? It’s so hard to find fresh organic produce!

• Sure! For the tuna, it was very simple. Just the pulp from a few large carrots and a couple stalks of celery. You could also chop the celery for a nice texture, but I was just saving time. I took the pulp and added a dash of salt, little pepper, and…

  in Lunch tips? Comment by raw_mama
• I FINALLY today made a mock tuna salad using carrot pulp. It took me all about 20 minutes to make everything (the mock mayonnaise & tuna). I wrapped it in boston lettuce leaves with a litte micro greens and fed myself, my daughter and mother-in-…

• Great post! This is one of my biggest struggles. Ambikalee- I have the same issue with my son going to his dad’s. He’s finally given in and now gives our son almond milk and no meat. It’s a step. As far as a daily diet (my children are 10 & 2), …
