a warm, rainy hello from Vancouver

[Deborella]

Hello everyone. I used to peek at this forum religiously for tips/tricks, encouragement, inspiration, etc. when I first tried going raw in spring 2010. I gave it my best shot with the limited resources and knowledge that I had at the time. Early this year I sadly got drawn back to an unhealthy, emotionally charged diet... but I am very excited to say that I couldn't stay away for long and have been back to living foods for 2 months now!
I happily blame the purchase of a vitamix for this. :dance:
As well as spending way more time in the kitchen than ever before I also practice Bikram yoga, am a full time student and freelance graphic designer. That's all for now. Thanks for reading. I look forward to posting with you all.

I live in Victoria, on the island...I'm looking forward to owning a vitamix someday soon! Right now I have to be happy with my dehydrator. :)

[Deborella]

what have you been making with your dehydrator? I've been contemplating... ;)

[Deborella]

thank you! Do you go to any raw related events in the lower mainland?
Have heard of a raw pot luck that is done monthly (through vancouver meetups), but haven't been...

I make seed bread with it - I had a sandwich last night which was very satisfying! And I've made apple chips, burgers, eggplant bacon... I use it probably once or twice a week but it definitely makes things more interesting for me!

I have never gone to a raw event... but I do loooove "organic lives" and whole foods! Two places I frequent!
