    @ loveleahannah: LOL!!!!! Oh I just can't LIVE without my Cacao!!!! Gots to have it!!! I make Brownies with it and add some to my Almond Milk...Love it!

    @ bananna: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Oh, I totally will try this dressing today!!!!! ...I'm so excited to try something new! HUGS!!!!!!!

    @ bonzer: AAAAAHHHH!!!! You're so sweet! :) I am very happy right now! Yea, oil gets old every now and again. I can't wait to try bananna's dressing! I'm definitely gonna do it today!!! :)

    @ whoa-raw: It's funny...Alissa said in her book that eventually a person would get to the point where they would not want the big Raw meals, but I still love them! I want simplicity in my head, but because I make these big Raw meals for others, I guess it makes me gravitate to them. But, I'm hoping that by trying to eat more simply I will break through my plateau... Stay tuned! :)

    I know what you mean, simple is simply good. I noticed that when I do eat simple, i enjoy the simple splurge of juicy water in fruits and veggies which I have grown to really appreciate over time and time again. Enjoy the simplicity!! :)

    Love your new 'you' picture. You look so radient and happy.
    I also struggle some times with dressings. Tried so many with oil and honey. But I like different ones. Love banana's dressing recipe though!!

    Hey Renee!
    Try this dressing: 1 banana, A handful of strawberries, A small handful of pecans (or walnuts but pecans are better) and a few dates...blend.

    It's the BOMB!! ...over straight greens...don't gross it up with tomatoes or something, lol. Seriously though, it's almost like a banana split or something...and just enough nuts to satisfy but not too much!

    They are sooo good. I think i am like the only person who has gained weight on the raw food diet. I ate too many nuts and avacado. lol. FAIL.

    How much do you have to portion with raw coaco? I have been tempted to try recipies but dont wanna blow up likea baloon over it.

    Sounds like you have a good plan!!!

    Thanks!!!! Avacado "instead of" Nuts.... hummmm.... Yea, that's my problem! It's been in *ADDITION* to!!!! LOL!!!!! I like that idea of once a day. That way I can look forward to eating them at a certain time and not dwell on it. Nuts have just taken over my mind and made me NUTS!!!!!!!!!!

    Good luck with this Renee - sounds like you've thought it all out. I love eating nuts, and have kind of got around this by only eating them once a day (at dinner time). One thing that occurred to me while I was reading your post was that I sometimes have half an avocado instead of nuts at dinner time. And kale chips are my snack of choice :-)

    Hello ReneeH,
    I am new to this and to the forum but I got so excited reading your blog. I was looking through threads and noticed so many views under the raw food demonstration one and realized that you are in Tx. Just wanted to say congrats to living your dream.
