The only one I know of is south of the University of Houston. There's a raw potluck that meets twice a month at the Taft Street Coffee house (2115 Taft St.) at 6:30. The next one is Thursday, March...

I made Alissa's pumpkin pie a month or so ago, and it tasted really good, not floury at all. I doubled the spices, too.

I have found that the longer I am focusing on raw, the less appealing cooked is. (I've had 100% weeks, I've had 50% weeks, but in my head, I'm raw.)

It sounds like your best friend isn't much of...

Use the recipes and keep food in the fridge - if I have food prepared, it makes choosing raw easier.

i still feel "fat" and gross in some sort of way when i eat. It's still a struggle. i hate it! It's like i eat tons of raw food, and feel stuffed, and disgusting. i feel like i'm never going to get...

Wash your bananas as soon as you bring them into the house, then hang them up to dry.

Keep reading the old posts here, there is so much information in past discussions!

Until you get your books, buy some luscious, juicy fruit and start eating. Enjoy!

My body lead me here. I started looking for cookbooks with more fresh fruits and veggies, I wanted that taste and that lightness, but the ones I bought didn't have the right foods, the right tastes....

My college's (Texas Tech University) Dining Services was actually rather proactive towards us, even to the point of having a student rep from each of the dorms. We met every month with a member of...

I know this is an older thread, but it's stuck in my head these past weeks. I have to admit that I now have more respect for cucumbers, and I've been looking hard at mine and being open to their...

Hi Mindelicious - be gentle with yourself. If you eat cooked, you're not wasting the raw food, you're just having a "raw chaser." It's better to have some raw than no raw - this is not all or...

You got it! I do it frequently as I move along my journey to healing... talk to her when she's scared, unsure, hurting. Another good thing to do is write questions/comments with your dominant hand...

Talk to your 18 year old self. Using language and concepts that an 18 year old will understand, explain jealousy, friendship, self-worth, etc. You will probably have to do this more than once for...

I think you've hit the nail on the head. Be careful - I think you're going to continue to think for yourself and he's going to lose more and more control over you, and that's going to be very...

My co-worker brought a plain turkey sandwich to work yesterday, but I could smell the warm yeasty smell and told her that it smelled good. She couldn't believe that I could smell it, and truthfully,...

Many people have labeled various feelings as "hunger" when it's really insecurity, fear, loneliness, hurt, etc., but because it's "hunger," those feelings can be "fixed" with food.

I think...

There's a difference between a healthy relationship with food and an unhealthy relationship with food, and it sounds like you're abusing raw foods (instead of any and all foods.) It's hard to binge...

I've been making the recipes in Alissa's book (both entrees and deserts) and I feel like I'm eating completely and fully, just with better flavors and more enticing colors. So far I love Pad Thai...

I've been high raw for about a month, and 100% for the past 5 days. My acne is almost gone and my skin looks amazing, my heels and elbows are much softer and my heels are less cracked, I'm losing...

Welcome!

How are you going to prepare for hurricanes? When I was shopping a couple of days before Rita last summer, the can goods were almost gone and the produce section looked so full and...

Hi, I'm in Sugar Land, and there's a couple of people here from the Houston area. I know of a co-op at the Taft Street Coffee House, and there's regular raw potlucks there, too. I've been to one...

Yes - me too!

I was in a bad accident a 4 years ago. Before the accident, I was doing and loving Tae-bo - I loved how I felt strong and powerful. Ever since the accident, however, I don't have the "oomph" to do...

I've been high raw for about 3 weeks now and eat an avacado practically every day. My skin is starting to clear up - I haven't even worn foundation for a week - just powder to help with the shine.

I'm going through some heavy duty emotional healing, and when it's really bad, I want a personal pan pizza. It's easy to eat, soft, filling, and just fills that hole in my being so very nicely. ...
