I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.

Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!

All my best,
Alissa

Ok, ok - it's really day "9", a REALLY early day 9 - but technically this is my day "8" entry.....

Whatever am I doing up at this ungodly hour do you ask?? .....

Well, I'm flippin'........what..... .......yup....flippin' my many "creations" in my dehydrator!

I had to work yesterday, so everything I made got started after 5 pm and later........so, here I am!

I was like the uncook Queen today!
I made:

pumpkin/walnut taco meat - with my own tweeks (I use taco seasoning & jalepenos)......

"ranch" dressing from cashews & spices....mmmm.....(I've been eating these 2 on salads allllllll week and completely LOVE them!!).....

Alissa's lemon cookies......mmmm.....(they remind me of a bar - my SAD self used to eat)........

Alissa's nectarine cookies.......again, mmmm (these have a little bit of the fall feel to them with the cinnamon).....

Alissa's banana golden flax crackers.....(I sprinkled cinnamon on top of 1 sheet).....

A taco flax cracker that I made up along the way...(red bell peppers, tomatos, 1 whole lime, taco seasoning).....

Alissa's Mexican cracker.....(I hadn't soaked the sunflower or pumpkin seeds- just ground them in a coffee grinder - and accidentally spread it too thick -I had the pizza bread instructions in my head too, so we'll see how it turns out!!).......

Jicama fries......(I followed a recipe off of gone raw, because I don't have any honey).....letting them "marinate" now...I might even put some in the dehydrator for later to see what happens....

I bought the fixins for the spaghetti with marinara sauce, and to make the cauliflower mashed potatos, but I have to get mushrooms for the "gravy".....mmmmm......potatos.....mmm......ho pe they're yummy.....mmmm.....potatos......will make both of these today.....mmm

I was just soooo inspired yesterday and uncooked for about 4 hours......make something....clean everything up....repeat.....

I rarely EVER tried anything new in my former SAD life......

so.....
you can just imagine what a big deal this is to me!

what??? I'm actually making a ton of new things???
Yup! Hooray for me!!

When we step out of our "comfort zone" - little things like that are HUGE......

Well, need to go back and get some more beauty sleep.......see you guys later tonight for "day 9".....

Why thank you for the tierras snow!
Well, I don't really know if I like the banana crackers - they taste a bit blah. I did sprinkle cinnamon on one of the layers of them and that tastes a little better - I think I would add some pumpkin pie spice or something next time. The mexican bread is a little weird too....humph....but everything else turned out pretty good! I really like the cookies even though they stay pretty soft and fall apart a bit.
