I'm eating some as I read this, topped with carob sauce and chopped dates and almonds. It's my daily afternoon snack. I make it in my Vita-mix since I don't have a Champion juicer. Yum! :)

Thank you, Rawkinlocs. I saw my doctor this week and my BP and heart rate were PERFECT! Normally, my BP is low and HR is high. And I've lost 5 pounds. So he gave the raw food his blessing. :)

I went through that for the first 2 days. I had terrible pain in my abdomen and felt like a truck had hit me. My stomach never hurts anymore. I'll still get a detox that makes me feel weak...

Hi sdefee,
I'm also on disability and finding this diet to be expensive. I'm learning to look at the ingredients for the recipes and limiting the ones that have ingredients like macadamia nuts and...

Thanks, Tim. I have been using Alissa's book and I like the Angel Hair Pasta with Marinara Sauce. Oh, and the Pear, Beet, and Jicama salad is SO good. Several of the desserts have been winners. ...

I've seen them at Whole Foods.

I got my 2900 with 9 teflex sheets from rawguru.com and love it. His customer service is excellent and his prices are the best. I have used all of my teflex sheets at once when I was making...

I don't have any answers for you, Goddess_girl. If you don't have anything else in the house, maybe go out and buy some fresh raw food now. Give the junk food to the local food kitchen if it's not...

I'm in, kmik. I'm a little worried about a trip to visit our daughter in January, but I'm determined to be prepared and make it work. :)

Thanks for the info, Tim. So far, so good. The only thing I'm worried about is AFTER the holidays. We're going to visit our daughter for a week. I'm planning on taking crackers, fruit leather,...

Congratulations, Aasyah! :)

Can you tell me more about it, Tim? I am interested! Where do I sign up? I don't want to go back to cooked food.

Do you have any tips for the holidays? I don't want to do more mock turkey...

Thanks, everyone! :)

Teehee! Thanks, rawandnatural! I can't believe I didn't even WANT to cheat -- 100% raw all the way. :)

Mechele, you will love the dehydrator! I make mostly crackers and fruit leather. I haven't had much luck with cookies or breads yet.

We like the Pear, Beet, and Jicama salad a LOT ... but Jicama...

twinee1, where do you buy raw olives? What do they look like? I made onion bread and ended up throwing it out -- it tasted like dried onion soup that people used to make dip out of. My crakers...

I stuck with it for 30 days and am going to continue. I'm still learning to keep it simple -- too many blended recipes didn't appeal to us and we were wasting money. But I LOVE that I can eat...

I don't think ours will last very long, either. We each ate 3 pieces and it only made about 16. The strawberries sound good. :)

It sure is a great way to use up cranberry sauce. No one ever...

We made Nadhirrah’s Cranberry Sauce for Thanksgiving and had a bunch of it left over. It was good, but we just had too much food. So I put it in my Vita-mix with two more apples and some honey and...

Hi Heather,
I'm still in my first month of raw. The first 2-3 days, I had terrible pain and bloating, but they went away. I think I was detoxing. I do have IBS and it is actually better now.

I...

Wow, that's great! I guess there's hope after all. :)

Thank you, Rawkinlocs. I was hoping you'd weigh in on this. You are right -- we used to eat the same things all the time! I think I'm fretting b/c my husband still wants his cooked things and I'm...

Thanks, mellyc37. That's a good idea to do less organic for trials. I could maybe try that, although I'm a bit afraid of getting too many pesticides in me since I'm already chemically sensitive.
...

Yes, I did see those photos and would love to try something like that! Thanks for reminding me. :)

Hi tvillemom,
I was starting to think I'm weird or something b/c I don't like many of the recipes that other people say are great. (We HATED the onion bread that we found somewhere.) I'm sitting...
