Ok I know it's like 10:30 AM and I have just come upon this incredible site starting a Dec 100% raw challenge!
So I'm jumping on the wagon with ya all!

This will truley be a challenge with the holiday but I'm excited to learn some new recipes.
I am on a hard core budget so if anyone has any incredible ideas for frugal eating on a $15/week budget I would appreciate it! ( My family is not Raw or vegan but occasionaly vegetarian.)

So i'm off to make my raw smoothie,
Spinache and mango.
Then I have a ton of reading to do in regards to finding good recipes with the items I have in my cupboards!
I also do not have a dehydrater, or a juicer just a crappy blender that's it.
Maybe I will buy myself a good dehydrator or food processor for Christmas... hmmmm

Hugs to everyone!

    $15 a week? I think I probably ate that just today (but I do eat a lot and produce is expensive here):) I've been thinking a lot about how to fit this into our budget also, since I have been going over. I know growing your own spouts is easy and WAY cheaper, making your own dressings and thinning them down with some apple or pear, of coarse if you can grow anything (even herbs in a pot) that helps. Also using sunflower seed instead of almond or nuts is usually way cheaper. The book 'Dry it, you'll like it' has simple and inexpensive directions to make a dehydrator. Try freecycle or craigs list for appliances also:)

    Mmmm..spinach mango smoothie sounds good, I'm going to have to get some spinach tomorrow-
