I make mustard like you get in Chinese restaurants with just dry mustard powder and water. The hotness fades in just a few hours.

I have also made many different types of cooked mustards, with...

This might help...I also love and miss peanut butter...I have found that raw brazil nuts add a kind of "roasted" taste to any nut butters they are mixed with. I'm currently using a pumpkin...

I wouldn't tell anyone at the store or anything, but what popped in my head was to speak to the person. Say something like when she does something like that, it affects everybody because it makes...

Hi lsadeseyens,

What I see him do on his show is chop the onion, place in a strainer, and hold it under cold running water. He makes a point of always saying cold water, and always saying 15-20...

It can be a hard call to make, this party, seated-dinner type thing. I certainly don't have a definitive answer for all occasions, but I think calling ahead can work great. Also, just stating what...

My basic guacamole:

avocado
lime (or lemon) juice
celery stalks for dipping

optional but good:
sea salt
diced jalapeno
cilantro

RK, do you think I could make it without the lucuma and maca? I don't have those....Do they add to flavor or texture?

I second MelissaO's soup recommendation. I also recommend wilted spinach salad, as it's warm.

Without a dehydrator, you can wilt it like this: set a pan of water on the stove to heat. Put the...

I took the entire stem out and cut the two halves in half. So, four chips per leaf. I think the thickness of the stem would drastically affect drying time. They dry pretty fast w/o stems. Hope that...

Start with fruit. Just add it to the bowl with the seeds. My African grey parrot likes best: canteloupe, bananas, cherries, blackberries, and grapes, but he eats a wide variety of fruits and...

shine--insomnia is no fun. I suffer from it, too. One of the best things to counteract it for me is to not go to bed too early, no matter how sleepy I am. It sounds weird, but years of experimenting...

shine, garlic cheese stuffed peppers sound fabulous!

I had a very boring day, kind of a bad mood day, but for no particular reason I could come up with. Didn't do great on my food, but okay...

I learned this tip from my favorite tv chef, Rick Bayless, as a tip for making salsa, but it really makes a difference when I'm using raw onions in anything. After chopping the onions and before...

To catch up my weekend--my tummy was delicate, so I ate small. Saturday, I had a large, fresh juice of 3 oranges and a mango. While the juicer was out, I made pumpkin/brazil nut butter (oh yum!!) and...

Snacked on a banana, grapes, and few cocoa nibs. Supper was a big spinach salad with celery, mushrooms, red pepper, carrot, and scallions. Small handful of nuts later.

Yesterday didn't go exactly as planned (which is not news in my world!). I ended up making Alissa's broccoli soup, which I have made before, but something went horribly wrong. Maybe I grabbed the...

Posting on the challenge thread has slowed...well, it's toward the end of the month. But also, we have the holiday season upon us. I don't know if any of you are feeling anxious about facing the food...

I had a light eating day today--

Extra large salad for lunch.
Dinner was an apple dipped in almond butter, later a few bites of veggies and nuts.

As a old hand at making dietary changes, I always come to a time and place in the "new" regime where it gets old. It's been the focus of my life, what to prepare, what to eat, and it's given me a lot...

I just realized I didn't eat any fruit yesterday. This happens occasionally, not on purpose. Fruit is just not in my favorite foods category. I love my salads and veggies and dressings and...

So for I've had a huge salad bar salad with all the usual veggies, etc.
I have a grapefruit and an enormous honeycrisp apple in my bag; seeds if I want 'em! Dinner will be the other half of the...

Sunday food--

banana
apple
cashews and almonds
wilted mustard greens with tomato and baby bella mushrooms, oil and lemon dressing
2 coconut cocoa truffles

Quick update on my day--

During the day, I drank juice--2 tangerines, a mango, a bunch of grapes. More tart than sweet, probably from not peeling the tangerines...
Some cashews...
Dinner was ...

I promise I'm not saying this to be flippant or suggesting you be rude...but...Haven't you already had the only conversation you need to have? Why discuss it further? (I mean, it's fun to talk about...

B--bowl of fruit: banana, blueberries, strawberries
L--salad bar w/my own dressing
