I once went through weightwatchers and lost 82 lbs - I looked great and loved the way I looked for the first time in my life.

Now, I'm older, have more than 82 lbs to lose and my big fear is that...

Salsababy, I just met a really nice guy last week and as we sat there drinking our herbal tea we got to talking about our health (a common topic, I think, once you hit the big 5-0). I took a chance...

Claussen's are in jars, but are not shelf-stable, they must be refridgerated even before opening. They are very crispy, not soggy like regular jarred pickles and still have a fresh green color. ...

I don't recall where I got this recipe - perhaps on this forum, but I apologize that I can't credit it to anyone. I haven't tried this, but it sounds wonderful and might pass for a chutney (I'm not...

Gotta love those carrot-pecan burgers!! I can't say that they taste anything like McD's to me, but I'm very thankful for that!! :p

I've made mine thick and thin and in-between and mine always...

OMG!! It really is hard to believe it's the same person in both pictures! I'm so impressed and inspired - I know someday I'll have before & afters worth sharing and in the interim I'll have you...

I've now purchased about 5 or 6 books and I always go back to Alissa's... I thinks it's the best, at least it's my favorite... it's very comprehensive with good information & advice, great recipes,...

Thanks, Caryn! Those are great places to know about. I appreciate your input!

Salsababy, that is pretty much the same recipe I use for my cheesecakes, but you can substitute the honey with agave nector if you don't want to use honey.

Alissa's book is great and worth every penny. Before I began eating raw vegan I was so intimidated - I was one who thought a days worth of veggies was the lettuce and tomato on my double whopper...

Hey, you guys are great! I appreciate all the input! Dreamrawalwz, Arlington is where I'll be staying - so I'll check out the meetup.com site for suggestions.

Everyone else - thanks! Good to...

I'll be Staying in Arlington for a few days in February for a conference and then spending a couple of days seeing the sights in DC.... anyone have recommendations for raw restaurants in that neck...

I know that you can by this at the drug store, like metamucil but it comes in unflavored powder form as well as orange flavored. I had to mix it with ice cream once for my cat because she was so...

Cheesecake, Ranch dressing, cheese, toss 'em in a salad.......

Oh, thanks for sharing that - and it looks beautiful surrounded by those raw veggies! Now I know what to take to my sister's on Christmas!

Wow, cool job! I'm glad there are people like you willing to do that hard work. I've always thought that would be a great job to have - I have times when I'm tempted to do my Norma Rae imitation,...

I love raw corn in green salad.... mmmm. :)

I used to have the same problem when trying to donate. I was told that a few weeks before donating to increase the food that would help build up the iron in my blood. Also, not sure how old you...

I've just experienced this myself. For ages (about 2 months) the scale stayed the same, but my clothes were getting baggy. Finally, I weighed again the other morning and had dropped 8.5 lbs! Very...

When I was a kid my mom (who always bought way too many) would freeze the very ripe persimmons (the kind with the pointed end, not the flat ones). She would freeze them whole. Once frozen, we would...

This one's great - by Jennifer Cornbleet from her book 'Raw Food Made Easy for One or Two".

1 cup raw cashews (soak a couple of hours)
3/4 cup water (I ended up having to use more)
2 T fresh...

How about dicing and freezing?

Or, dice and mix with corn, cucumber, parsley or cilantro, lime, red onion and garlic for a nice relish?

Or, make fake lips out of them? :D (that's always...

I'm bringing the 'cheesecake', cranberry/orange/walnut relish and the salad dressing. My son & his fiance are picking up the main course for the 3 of us from Cafe Gratitude in Berkeley. Ymm - we'll...

I never feel like I get enough sleep. I generally get about 6-7 hrs per night during the week. On the weekends, I can sleep 10 hrs straight. I just can't seem to get to sleep early enough on the...

Congrats!! And keep taking that folic acid! Although you can probably get enough by eating the veggies & fruits that contain it, folic acid is truly something you don't want to be too short on for...
