Thanks everyone for the warm welcome back!

Essensual!!! It's great to see you again!

I agree with Jen, Cousens recipe is my absolute fave! If the dehydrator issue is just that you don't have one...you can always try it on the stove using a themometer and constantly stir to avoid hot...

Hi! My name's Ursula. It's been awhile since I frequented RFT. I fell off the raw food wagon...but I'm back!

I live in Florida with my fiance and our 8 y/o son. I'm trying to get them into...

My guess would be that the little tab that brings up the teeth was down...that happened to me when I first got mine...

Cousens has a program that he says is similar to the Zone diet...it's in his book "rainbow green, live food cuisine."

The avo mayo that I make uses pine nuts instead of oil...it makes for a really great creamy consistency and is great to spread on stuff...hope this helps!

Eden makes a red wine vinegar that is raw...after seeing it in the store I emailed them and they assured me that they did not pasteurize their vinegars...they are also very reasonably priced...I get...

I would go pick up a candy thermometer at Wal-mart if you don't already have one...there only like $3...set the temp w/o any food in it and see what temp it goes to. I'd give it like 30 minutes so...

I just wanted to put my 2 cents in too. For the first year after I went raw I used my american harvest...I actually had it prior to going raw...I used it for jerky... I bought it for $40 at...

Thanks for reminding me I can go to the library! lol

Hi Rainstorm!

I agree with what the others have said about everything! You will find some people who look at being raw and a raw lifestyle as a religion... Some will tell you that if you eat gum...

In the year that I've been raw I've lost 90lbs. I had a period of about 4months where i struggled going back and forth between sad and raw...but currently I'm 90lbs down!

This is from "12 Steps to Raw" By Victoria Boutenko...I haven't tried it yet...

Un-Chicken Noodle Soup

Blend together very well for 1-2 minutes:
2 cups water
1/2 cup coconut (shredded...

I have seen a recipe for ground sunflower seed crackers...I believe it was equal parts ground seed to water...soaked an hour and then spread on texflex sheets and dehydrate.

Great ideas all around...my yoga center does a $30 a month flat fee...keep looking!

For my birthday last year my mom made this for me...she was using a toaster oven to dehydrate (was quite funny...she had the door open and sat there for like 20 minutes with her hand directly on the...

I know how hard it can be to get back on the raw wagon when you've been off awhile...have you tried re-reading books that inspired you before?

I work as a Firefighter...I find it to difficult sometimes to be raw. It can be hard when we're busy to stop and make a salad or smoothie, and then there's always junk food around...however, when I...

Does anyone can? I'm curious if the enzymes stay intact, and I'm also curious about pickling...like cukes...this is a sad food I'd enjoyed, and would love to make myself...

Thanks for your imput!

Samuel, did they say why you shouldn't refrigerate avo's? I was buying a case at a time and had the case in the frig and took avos out a few at a time to wripen on the counter...worked for me!

I also have a snackmaster that I've used for the past year (just got an Excalibur for xmas!) It works really well...I've not made the pizza, but I have done crackers, and I did the same as Sasha and...

From what I've heard it's the same one that Alissa uses...I have a black and decker that I use...but if it dies I'll be getting this one too!

Ursula

That's wonderful! I also received an Excalibur for Christmas too! I'm also having the difficulty of figuring out what I want to make in it!
Jennifer Cornbleet's book is awesome! I've made a few...

I agree, I still use my food processor for loads of things. but don't be discouraged, the vitamix is absolutely wonderful. Where it took me minutes to make smoothies, it now only takes seconds and...

Jenna rose, you've inspired me! I'm going to make those cookies for my New Year's party!
