• ALL I just dehydrated some chips for 12 hours and turned the dehydrator off this morning because I was leaving for work (afraid to leave it running). I was wondering if I could continue this evening to make my chips crispy? Right now they are chewy.…

• sv3-wow, those kale chips sound awesome. I had no idea! I just thought you rubbed them with salt and popped them in. This recipe is great. Question though-is the nutritional yeast necessary? What exactly is it for?

• Myrtlebeach8369- I have an Oxo Mandeline slicer. I like it but as everyone points out you have to be careful of the fingers. I cut myself once but I was trying sooooo hard to get that last slice in :( I just got the Excalibur 5-Tray which has a back…

• Ok, so I did my first batch of banana chips and they came out great. I didn't dry mine to a total crisp though. Started at 140 for 1 hour and then dropped to 112 for 10 hours. I cut them 1/8 in. and sprinkled some with cinnamin. macanoogie-how thick…

• Thanks for all the responses. MacANoogie-I am going to do bananas this weekend. How long did yours takes and at what temp? I assume they were totally crispy?

• AlyceA-I tried to make mine as thin as possible but had a problem. The lowest setting on my mandolin slicer wouldn't slice the potato so I had to go thicker (1/8 in.)...too thick in my opinion. The ones I managed to do on the lower setting were perf…

• Thank you for the recommendations. Suasoria-did your kale chips just crumble in your mouth? I made them once but in the oven and they just seemed so thin and crumbly when I ate them. Is it different in the dehydrator? MacANoogie-did your banana chip…

• I LOVE TRADER JOE'S. I do all my shopping there and you can't beat the prices. Aside what you mentioned, I haven't really noticed them marketing raw. Perhaps dried fruit but that's usually the same section as nuts/seeds if not scattered in the store…

• I love steamed broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprouts. I am high raw, not 100%. You should do what you feel is best for you. Rawmama, you just listed to a cd of Brian Clement saying one thing and I just read an article that I posted from Forbes t…

• Before buying it online, I tried finding Green for Life through the library, book store and used book store and no one carried it. I was told it had something to do with being an independent seller?

• UGGG...I've been using that daily for months. Why don't I just crack open a few sodas. Thanks for the info. Maybe now I'll lose weight instead of gaining...arggg! This could be my culprit because although I've loosened up on my eating, I haven't don…

• For me, the benefit of cooking a SAD meal was 1) It took little prep time and cooking was largely unattended in the oven or stove top. 2) Always having left overs for a couple of days so all I had to do was use the microwave Now, it’s everyday in th…

• I definitely find it time consuming. By the time I wash and slice up my lettuce, tomato, cucumber, zicchini or squash and mushroom for my salad, I feel like I’ve spent too long in the kitchen already. Maybe it’s the wash and slice slice slice all th…

• I used to do really well with nuts and raisins but not anymore. I would say that now it’s raisins for me. Eat any of those? Anytime I eat too many, I bloat for sure.

• Too funny. When I bought my first bag of nibs I thought they were going to be wonderful…boy was I wrong. They taste like dirt. I’d be willing to try the powder.
