it's an awesome idea - kind of like a raw quiche - you may be on to something - you're lucky - my neighbors only leave old couches....!

oh gosh - it's so disheartening when things go wrong (and boy do they go wrong some days with raw food - i have stories!). my only piece of advice and it's not exactly helpful right here and now, is...

in alissa' book, it says that you can either soak the seeds first or grind them instead into a powder form. i tried it the other day, using a coffee grinder, and it worked! I did have to add a...

Maybe the confusion lies in what the recipe is doing with the greens - juicing them or eating them whole (like in a salad). I think you may be underestimating how heavy those greens are!

Whatever...

just doublecheck that the dehydrator can be set at a very low temp - at or below 105 degrees, otherwise you will kill the enzymes, which we want to keep alive.

If the rice is chipped in any way, it won't sprout. So it sounds to me like you just had some bad luck. You are right - if it smells weird, it's not successful. The easiest things for me to sprout...

there is a great cd out there called "Anxiety Relief" by Dr. Martin Rossman - it's really great for breathing, relaxation and visualization techniques for those with anxiety based depression. i...

something positive that you could do is to reflect on how much better you felt physically and psychologically when you were eating a raw diet - if it helps write yourself a letter or affirmation that...

about turning up the dehydrator to 145 degrees - doesn't it kill the enzymes - i may be wrong but doesn't alissa suggest keeping the temp at/under 105 degrees - i'm happy to be wrong!

for something spicy - ditto on the V-8 from above and add some Tabasco-type spice chili

Justine,

I live in one of those neighborhoods too (why do people have so much time on their hands to worry about this stuff!!!) My husband took one of our plastic garbage bins, drilled several...

i soak them overnight and rinse them 2 times the next day - they sprout prety quickly and the little tails are not very long. don't sprout for too long or they get this weird sourish taste (done it...

was wondering if walnutty ordered from her online place and if so, were you pleased with what you got? i havne't ordered from the place i found online yet - i think your place is cheaper - good find!

Hi Michelle,

I understand how difficult it is to transition over to a raw food diet with a family in tow. A couple of thoughts for you:

1. why not try to do a raw breakfast and lunch (and...

I agree with everyone - I was on the fence when I bought my dehydrator whether to go big or small - the shipping was so expensive on it that I decided to just go big. Very glad I did. I've heard...

How about slicing them as thin as you can and masage a bunch of olive oil into them, sprinkle some chili powder or cumin and salt and dehydrate them. They will be like hearty potato chips, if you...

i found a place online: www.organicfruitsandnuts.com which sells raw buckwheat groats for much cheaper than The Sprout People - I don't know anything about the company (in CA) and haven't ordered...

I'm having trouble finding/buying raw buckwheat groats in the Boston area. I've tried Whole Foods and Wild Oats with no luck. Can anyone recommend somewhere or a reliable website to buy from?
