Yeah, I guess it is about the same amount of work. This is for a Thanksgiving day dish (putting together the menu right now) and I am trying to simplify and also keep costs down - but I do want to...

Revvelll - it's my understanding that coconut water and coconut milk are two different things. I don't want coconut water, and coconut milk has to be food processed and strained in order to get the...

I have been wanting to try a raw dessert recipe that calls for coconut milk - but I don't really want to go through the hassle of making fresh coconut milk. Can I substitute almond milk, or...

Thanks everyone, really good ideas :)

I love Alissa's mock turkey loaf w/ cranberries too, I'm thinking of doing that for Thanksgiving. I'm definitely going to try that broccoli soup too!

It's...

Hi, Robbay - good for you that you are giving up coffee - it was the best decision I've made for my health in a long time. I gave up my two to three cup a day (plus tea in the afternoon) coffee...

Veganforlife - great ideas! Yes, I have Alissa's book, I do love her mashed potatoes and gravy. I also like her miso soup, the ginger helps warm it up.

I find that I have a harder time staying raw once the weather starts to turn cold. I know a lot people don't mind it, but for me salads and smoothies lose their appeal a bit when its raining...

Congrats, you look great! What kinds of foods do you eat/daily menu? :)

This is a great post - thanks for the info Mary Kay :)

My bf and I adore mushrooms and eat them quite often marinated or just raw. I especially love portobellos and criminis, but I will be...

Welcome to RFT! I wish you the best of raw health. :)

So, I have been 100% raw or close to it for a few weeks now and have notice some weight loss and other changes in my body, but when I look in the mirror I'm still so far from where I want to be. How...

Lately, I'm loving Ani Phyo's walnut taco "meat," coconut lemon bars, and sundried tomato hummus, yummm. I also love Alissa's Mock Salmon Pate, and I just tried her miso soup recipe and its really...

I love Alissa's zucchini pasta w/ marinara, and Ani Phyo's Sun Dried Tomato Hummus (has two cups of zucchini in it). :)

That sounds so yummy! I love mint chocolate ice cream so I'll definitely try this. :)

Sprouts2go - I like to shred purple cabbage in salad, tear it into chip shapes to eat with dip, and use it as a wrap for taco nut meat or pate. :)

Contessa20 - I didn't like the Alfredo Pasta in Alissa's book either, it's one that stands out for me because it was way too nut heavy and had an unappetizing texture (to me). I also didn't care for...

That's fabulous to hear! I have noticed that my PMS and cramps have decreased at 80% raw, I can't wait to see what happens at 100%! :)

I like Alissa's Banana-Papaya pudding - it's one papaya and two bananas (I think), throw in the blender and serve!

This is such a great thread, thanks for posting this, ReneeH. :)

Hoping to cure gum disease, depression, anxiety, mood disorder, joint problems, general social withdrawal, food...

Hi there! I can tell you what my staples are:

Bananas (at least two bunches)
Avocados
Red Cabbage
Baby Spinach
Mixed Lettuce
Organic Tomatoes
Raw almonds, walnuts
Red bell pepper

I have been eating a lot of cucumbers w/ hummus - it's such a simple and refreshing meal in the summer.

This recipe looks amazing, I want to try it!

Thanks for posting that!

Breakfast: Green smoothie w/ kale or spinach, berries and banana.

Lunch: Big salad, often with a nut pate.

Dinner: Varies, sometimes veggies with dip, sometimes raw pasta w/ marinara, and...

I agree with every poster so far, and my experience has been similar to ILuvMangos - I have been losing weight by largely cutting out starches and bread, as well as dairy. Those foods seem to big...
