yowy. that is an extreme reaction, but I also get an itchy mouth if I eat too much pineapple. And everything tastes like sawdust afterwards. I always thought it was the bromelain, which is a pretty...

Oh my goodness. My jaw dropped looking at your photos and your post. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.

I love lemon verbena! So lovely. I use it to make hot or iced tea. Curious to know how it tastes in juice, so keep us posted!

Apple and Endive Salad! Just made this on a whim tonight from a recipe I had bookmarked a few months ago. Delicious, though really more of a winter salad, it was exactly what I needed this evening....

I worked on Holland America Line ships for about a year, eating raw part of that time. Here's what I found useful:

Dinner is typically the meal with the least choices for a raw food eater. ...

Perhaps this is a similar effect to when you get sick...your body needs extra rest to heal itself. Now that you are putting less stress on your body, it wants to heal itself, but needs extra...

I can sympathize with her. Extreme and unusual fatigue was the thing that tipped me off to my pregnancy. It got better towards the end of the 1st trimester. Don't forgt to include some vitamin C...

You can also use plain old salt or a tooth powder, which is usually finely ground salt with some bit of minty flavoring. I have read that the glycerin in tooth paste is as much a problem for your...

And don't forget sorbets! Pretty much just fruit/fruit juice, maybe water, sweetener. I use lemon juice to perk up some things. Don't forget when making frozen stuff that the fact that it is...

My fave is the one from Raw Food, Real World. It uses whole cashews and young coconut meat to make a nice, fatty base. Smooth and delicious.

So I took the baby for a walk this morning, and got to thinking...on just two streets in my neighborhood, I counted 17 different types of fruit trees:

Lemons
Oranges
Tangerines (going NUTS!)...

Try putting them through your homogenizing juicer with the blank plate in...it yields a thick, moist cacao paste!

I have tried a few brands from Whole Foods and been really disappointed, since they were so expensive and didn't taste great. Easy to make your own truffles-there's a great recipe from Gone Raw,

Nana...I feel you! I have so been there.

BUT you are the only expert on your body and all its systems. You're allowed to eat anything you want. Rules from "on high" make life easier for me,...

It's not a raw book, but I highly recommend Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron as a good guidebook to intro'ing solids and feeding. There's also a book called Baby Greens, which I think is raw/vegan...

I so need this thread in my life right now!

Goals for the month:MOVE and STRETCH every day + drink 3 liters of water every day

This morning I let my 4.5 month old son lead the stretching...lots...

I have heard that even organic bananas can get sprayed during transport with some thing. Not sure what. But I do agree with klomasius...eating lower on the food chain is generally safer in terms of...

What a difference! You look so focused and beautiful in that last photo. Thank you for the inspiration.

Thank you, Aleesha. My tendency is to be all or nothing in my thinking, but your suggestion of a measured and planned series of eliminations makes more sense in this situation.

What signs would...

I am considering returning to high or 100% raw eating. Previously, eating 100% raw, I lost weight very rapidly. I am currently breastfeeding my 4.5 month old babe, so I really do not want to lose...

Don't oats contain gluten?

I don't know if this is good food combining, but I've always loved the flavor of carrot and orange juice together. Kind of a sugar bomb, though.

Twin gear are great, but I don't think you'll ever find one for 50 bucks. When you're ready for one, you'll be able to sell the Champion for the same as you bought it for.

So, basically, GET IT! ...

I would put nuts and seeds in a bowl--rough chopped almonds, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, pistachios, cause I love 'em, and maybe some dried fruit too--raisins, gojis, whatevs. Then soak some dates,...

My dad, who grew up in East Africa where over 60 different varieties of banana are cultivated (everyone has 'em in around their homes) informs me that bananas only ripen properly once cut from the...
