    I think I've figured out a way to use the 2 cups of sweet nut butter created by accident the other night. Thanks to the "cocoa powder" post today (though very sorry for the reason it's there- wishing good health to the dog!), I got to thinking about incorporating more cocoa powder into food so starting flipping through my little "raw book" I have to jot down recipes and collect interesting information. I came across the Tootsie Rawls recipe and think that by adding cocoa powder ...

    What a wonderful fruit day, today! Cantelope for breakfast and pineapple and blueberries for lunch. I LOVE summer! Feel like breakfast and lunch are made for independent fruits and veggies and supper is for salads.

    I really wanted to make a sweet treat this evening so searched the boards and thought that a hybrid of "Yana"s and "cara4art"s caramel sauce would be the perfect thing. I took a couple of tastes during the processing and thought it tasted a little nutty, ...

    I woke up this morning imediately checking the freezer on the progress of sorbet parfaits prepared last night- one more layer to go this morning. Used my food processor for the first time yesterday! Layer one: banana, kiwi, mint. Layer two: banana, lemon mint. The third layer will be bananas and strawberries I think.

    I feel like I hit the jackpot yesterday at the farmers' market with green beans, rasberries, lettuce and green peppers. Then some friends came for the weekend and brought ...

    Have been feeling really good since going mostly raw (and lost 8 lbs!). I've had a few things that aren't raw (popcorn & crackers), so can only say 95% so far, but next week I'm 100%! Waking up in the morning have felt so refreshed eating this way rather than hitting snooze a couple times when ate a SADder diet.

    Had a good wake-up call this evening when woke up after a 2-hour "nap" that I can only surmise came from eating bread this afternoon. I had 2 pieces of my favorite ...
