I just received a batch of hon tsai tai. Having never even seen or heard of this vegetable before (I understand it's related to bok choy) I wonder if anyone has a recipe - other than cutting it up...

I want to try growing some heirloom tomatoes - and maybe even a couple other kinds of veggies - in containers this summer. Does anyone have experience ordering seeds from a great source?

Thanks!

BlackKat,

I don't know a thing about gardening either. I've planted a few things in the past and had a few tomatoes and peppers. But I think it was just dumb luck that I had anything to harvest....

And that's just why I asked this question. I can make a souffle and tempura and fabulous pot roast. But I'm not making those kinds of things anymore. Raw food is mostly about the quality of...

Well, there are no vegetarian restaurants in the area. But I found a natural foods grocery store that seems to have good inventory. And the really good news is that we'll have a kitchen. I'm going...

I haven't even bought Irish moss yet. I'll try that next. In the meantime for dinner tonight I'm making a carrot/lime/ginger soup with some of the coconut meat from this morning. Can't believe...

I recently saw Julie and Julia again. Julie was so intimidated about making Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon. So I decided to tackle the technique that has been intimidating to me. After 2 years of...

Pansy, how did you make your strawberry shake?

donnyandcathy, I'm having mostly water and rejuvelac today. I'm sure I'll fit a salad in sometime today. I've learned so much from youtube. I...

I'm excited to be the first person to commit for March. I'm off to the gym to walk laps in the pool then make a smoothie for breakfast. Salad is ready for lunch. Another smoothie for dinner.

So, I'll be on vacation for a week during March. I checked online (no exclusively vegetarian restaurants in the area) and found that 1 of the only veg-friendly restaurants is Five Guys. Great,...

I just pulled some out of the dehydrator. Not bad, but I definitely like the fresh version much better. As a matter of fact, I love it.

BlackKat,

If you're in the Chicago area, Whole Foods carries nutritional yeast in the bulk section. Also, most health food stores will carry it. I just discovered it a few months ago and can't...

By coincidence I just saw a youtube today on making raw popcorn. (Popcorn used to be my favorite food group. :eat ) So I just made it. So easy and so yummy.

1 head of cauliflower

My Whole Foods carries these. They're pretty good.

As an update, Cousins has closed.

There is also a new French Market downtown on Clinton with a place called Raw. I think it's in the Northwestern train station. I hear it's great.
There's a...

Kelp noodles come in handy for those emergencies like: "I could have sworn I had zucchini in the fridge." Or "Oops, I forgot to go to the store. What can I possibly do for dinner?" Because...

Amanda,

I'm so glad I had a touch of insomnia tonight and started poking around this forum. Congratulations on your successes to this point. I'm certain you'll have many more successes in your...

1 lb brussel sprouts, sliced thin
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. nama shoyu or coconut aminos

Place brussel sprouts in a bowl. Thoroughly mix the olive oil and shoyu or aminos then pour over...

Juicer just arrived!! Can't wait to taste the first glass of juice.

Met friends at a restaurant last night. I was fine with the salad and very happy but the miserable, delicious bread came to...

For anyone interested in buying a juicer, the Amazon Deal of the Day is an Omega 8005.

I just ordered one and can't wait to get it.

Day 7 was good again. Smoothie for breakfast. Then we went to a movie. I brought some baby carrots and dehydrated kale which was completely satisfying and lasted longer than my son's popcorn. I...

changeisgood,

I haven't heard anyone complain about the Omega yet. I can't wait to reach the goal so that I can go buy it.

I also just bought some Meyers lemons for the first time. I'm...

BlackKat,

I'm so glad to hear you love your Omega. I love the idea of having that as a reward. I suspect that by the time I'm down 20 lbs., I'll need something new in my daily food planning.

Day 5 was great! I made my yummy smoothie for breakfast. Lunch was a salad I took to work with: romaine, watercress, bibb lettuces and cucumber, radish, sprouted wild rice, raw peruvian olives,...

Day 3 for me and 100% so far. Had a good day again. Yummy smoothie this morning, gorgeous salad for lunch, dehydrated kale for a snack at work. Just got home from work and I'm eating a pear. Will...
