    Another spaghetti sauce

    I'm sure there's a hundred and one recipes out there for raw spaghetti sauce, but I just threw this together tonight and it's going to be one of my GO-TO recipes in the future. I might even try...

    Thanks sport. My husband liked the zucchini spaghetti, too, and it sounds like he's game to give this a try. I don't know if there is much of a support network in my area. If there is, I don't know...

    Yup, if you doubt the law of attraction, a 2nd-hand store is the best way to confirm its existence. I can't count the number of times I have gone to a thrift store with a specific need in mind and...

    Picky eater

    I know many of you have been raw for a long time, but if you can remember that far back, can any of you remember being picky eaters? That is my Achilles heel. I don't CRAVE fruit and veggies. ...

    I've never tried raw potato (yet...I'm just getting into raw eating). I'll bet it would make great rawghetti with a spiralizer.
