You can cut them in half and remove the seeds then blend them up with a little agave and some chia seeds to make grape jelly. I have yet to try this but saw it on a great blog recently. I don't know...

I love to add hemp seeds to my green smoothies. You can't taste them in a green smoothie. They're also good for making a milk - sort of along the lines of almond milk except you don't have to strain...

Any reviews for the food yet? I'll be in town this weekend and am wondering if it is worth going out of my way to check out since I won't really be in the area. Thanks!

Super exciting but totally prohibitively expensive for those of us out west. For the 4 container minimum of ice cream and shipping to LA it would be $120 - that's $30/pint! :( Even for those nearby...

I haven't been back since I don't venture south of San Francisco too often, but I haven't heard anything about it closing. In fact I think they may have opened a second location futher south.

Welcome rawnaija & congratulations! My midwife believes in avoiding unnecessary ultrasounds too but I did have one last week. I really don't think there is much harm in 1, I would just try to avoid...

A great blog to check out is pullingdaisies.blogspot.com. Annalise just gave birth to a baby girl last week via unassisted birth at home and she was mostly raw through out her pregnancy. Very...

I'm surprised they decided to reopen this location - it was always pretty empty when I went in. I'll have to check it out next time I am in town. Can you post a little bit of their menu after your...

It's very normal to not be able to eat raw foods in the first tri. My midwife told me that your body is supposed to reject dark leafy greens early on bc the thing that makes them bitter may be bad in...

Just checking in. I'm 12-13 weeks now. Most of my nausea is gone and my food aversions are gone! I can now eat salads and veggies again. So I am back to eating a lot more raw foods. Not 100% raw but...

Hi,

My fiancee checked a book out of the library at our birth center called "The expectant father". He also read a non fiction novel that he really enjoyed called "Crawling: A Father's first...

Well my best reccomendation for a nice restaurant would be to drive to Costa Mesa to 118 Degrees. It is one of the nicest raw restaurants I've been to and one of the tastiest. I often make the drive...

Wow, it doesn't look like the Hillcrest one is supposed to reopen - I always ate there whenever I flew down to visit my family. Here is another tiny raw cafe in Leucadia (beach town in North County)....

Me too! :-)

How long have you been...

One thing that I am craving is fresh OJ - so I have been drinking a lot of that. I can usually manage a few pieces of fruit - usually juicy works well - grapes, plums, etc. I can do cooked veggies -...

How did you guys deal with the food aversions? I'm not throwing up but the idea of a lot of raw foods makes me want to. It's mostly bland, carby (not-raw) food that sounds good right now. I don't...

Thanks guys! Sorry to hijack the post. ;)

oh my goodness!! Congratulations!!! This is wondeful news!!

You may remember me from the thread about maca - I had asked if it changed anyone's cycle length. Well it turns out it wasn't the maca...

Journey: Do you think you were predisposed to thyroid issues? Mine was tested a month ago and was normal so hopefully this won't affect it.

Rawvive: Thank you! Sounds yummy. I am a huge marinara...

Well it sounds like it could definitely be affecting it. It wouldn't be a bad thing for it to legnthen my luteal phase as I think 10 days is on the short side or normal.

MrsJ: So sorry about...

I just started taking 1 tsp maca in my smoothies about 2 weeks ago. I am wondering if maca has altered anyone's cycle at all? I chart and my luteal phase is usually 10 days. I had some light, brown...

You should ask over on giveittomeraw.com. They even threw a raw chocolate rave and it was all Gnosis chocolate. I haven't tried it, but I've seen rave reviews. I've been making my own lately.

I got a fruit plate meal on my trip to thailand. I was so pleased to see it as an option. It was a bit of a dissapointment though. It was just a small dish of fruit along with a salad w/non raw...

That's so fun! You look fantastic Morn. Congrats again for making it happen. :D
