• after several months of trying 811 to help my Candida (as my previous post says), I realized that it wasn't improving as I had thought. I developed a huge rash on my arms, legs, & ankles. I had other symptoms as well. Now I'm trying the Phase 1 …

  in Candida Diet - Raw Vegan Cookbooks??? Comment by littlegems
• I first decided to try eating raw as a way to help me cut out all of the processed vegan food I had been eating for way too many years, and to rid myself of my candida overgrowth. The first few months of eating raw with a high fat content from nuts …

• yes, I’m in the suburbs of Berkeley! I love Berkeley, and if I didn’t have a child that is where I’d be living probably. I think you’d love it there, they have Farmer’s Markets a couple of times/week. I think you’d find a great client base, and the …

• queenfluff – I hope you find somewhere that feels more like home. Have you tried the Santa Cruz crowd? I’m sure you’d find some more laid back raw foodies over on that side of the hill. :) I live in the suburbs of Oakland, so not as far north as San…

• I hear you on the ‘toxic’ energy that seems to be everywhere. I’ve noticed that the economy being what it is, people are super stressed out. Especially where you live, I used to live in San Jose and I know that the majority of people commute a lot a…

• yep, I LOVE boiled beets served with cut orange, and beet greens… that is my comfort food. I figure if my comfort food is cooked beets, then when my body craves it, I’m going to let myself enjoy it. :)

• MOTH, I totally understand… especially because I still have to cook and serve (and clean up the left-overs ) of my daughters cooked vegan meals… and especially her baguettes have smelled so good I had trouble not eating some. What helped me the othe…

• thanks Bananna! The thing is, she is allergic to nuts, so we don’t use nuts or seeds, at least she doesn’t, and I’m rarely using them. I’m mostly wondering about ideas for school lunches. Right now I’m packing her like 3 different fruits (she eats t…

• on Friday we received two cantaloupes in our CSA bin!!!! we had just said that we were going to buy a cantaloupe at the Farmer’s Market on Sunday, so we didn’t have to. Unfortunately, the first one isn’t that sweet and juicey, so my picky daughter d…

• I’m going to have to buy a cantaloupe when we run out of fruit this week. We got the yellow watermelon from our CSA on Friday, and my 6 yr. old daughter said she didn’t like yellow ones and wanted a red one. I asked her to take a “no thank you bite”…

• MOTH, yes, you can depending on where you live. I found one that also delivers near me and was considering joining for the extra fruit, since my current one only has a little bit of fruit. However, after doing the math it ended up being cheaper to s…

• I only bought a couple of books, Juliano’s Raw, and Ani Phyo. I used to use one for different recipes, I found Ani’s simpler with less ingredients… but it has way too many nuts, like almost every recipe! I’ve used goneraw.com recipes a lot instead o…

• I have yet to find a bread recipe that I like :( I realize now that I cannot eat more than a little bit of flax seeds/meal in a recipe, like no more than 1/4 cup. Flax oil is fine, but ugh, everytime I’ve made a bread with flax I can’t stand the tas…
