I primarily use almond butter for almond milk, so I don't go through it too quickly. I buy conventional rather than organic, though.

No, but you can order it from http://www.alissacohen.com/ or on Amazon.com

Butternut squash is a lot firmer than pumpkin, so I don't think such a subsitution would work well.

Quite possibly. B12 is the only one you might need to worried about. I'd recommend just getting a yearly blood test for B12 and supplement if your levels start dropping.

Most soy products are cooked. The only one that's not (to my knowledge) is natto, fermented soybeans.

Many people also have concerns about the effect of phytoestrogens on the body. I personally...

You can put it on the stove and heat it up until "finger warm". That is, stick your pinky finger in the pot and stop heating it up once its too hot for your finger. If you do this, be sure to stir...

I found this recipe idea on Recipezaar and tried it last night as a snack. Absolutely marvelous! It would work as a dessert, snack, or light meal.

Peel oranges and slice into rounds.
Sprinkle...

Yep, you can definitely eat them straight!

FYI, she's had four pregnancies total, two of which were while raw.

Shepherd's purse! It's more of a seasoning than a green to be eaten by itself (it has a peppery flavor), but I see it all over the place. Its heart-shaped leaves make it pretty easy to recognize.

I made this recipe today:

2 cups water
2 T. raw almond butter
2 T. raw honey
1 banana
2 large handfuls baby romaine

No, the corn wasn't organic.

I wonder if I really don't like raw corn or if I've just been getting nasty, extra-starchy cobs? :confused:

Oh I believe it's true, just odd. Even if it's a cause of weight gain in 1/3 of overweight people, that still means that most of the remaining 2/3 got that way because of overeating and non...

I got the ISBN off of Amazon.com. It's 0974896306.

What are you doing in the way of exercise? You should consider strength training if you want to maintain or increase your muscle mass.

How bizarre...

Is there anything specific you're craving? This adversion to the raw foods you usually eat may be your body's way of telling you it needs something specific.

Thank you for the info. I generally have pretty uneventful menstruation (no cramps, bloating, or other pain), so I don't think fasting while menstruating would be harmful to myself. However, I...

Why is fasting while menstruating considered sinful? I'm not Muslim, so even if I do this fast I won't be following that prohibition, but I'm curious as to what the reasoning is.

I've tried raw corn three times or so, but haven't liked it. It tastes decently sweet, but far too starchy. Anyone else experienced this?

I was going to suggest RP's brownies as a substitute for cake, but I see you're already planning to serve those! lol... :D

Only from a botanical standpoint. When talking about fruits, vegetables, etc. with food combining rules, the terms used are culinary ones, not botanical ones.

I saw that too. While it's not something I'm interested in at this stage of my life and career, I think it's a really neat idea.
