This morning I have made myself a raw chocolate bar. It has honey and hazelnuts in it. All I have to do is wait for it to set. I did lick the bowl though and early indications suggest success :)

Hazelnuts make everything delicious!! =)

[laughalways]

Mmmmm....I love hazelnuts too. It sounds like a great combo with the chocolate....hope its dark chocolate!

Isn't licking the bowl the absolute BEST!!!!! You can't do that with SAD ingredients that needs to cook! Another SCORE for RAW!!!!

@ QueenBee: Have you ever made Rejuvelac? I make it all the time and use it for Smoothie Water. It doesn't have the fizz as Kumbucha does, but it's a lot easier to make and is FANTASTIC!!!!

I made the most AMAZING Marinated Baby Portobellos yesterday!!! Having leftovers today, so I'll upload a photo. I used Herbamare in the marinade....LOVE IT! I also found a recipe yesterday online for Buckwheat Porriage. It's similar to Alissa's Chia Pudding in RFFE, but it adds soaked Buckwheat. Looking forward to trying it!

Had 1 lonely Raw Donut Hole for Breaky with an Orange and Strawberries.

Here's Lunch: Sprouted Hulled Spanish Barley

[ReneeH]

What I LOVE about eating Sprouted Barley is that now...hours later, I'm not hungry at all!!! It sets me up to eat lightly tonight! I'll probably eat my Marinated Mushrooms when I feel hungry. Or, I just may have a Salad....

Been doing really well, though recovering from a cooked vegan stew my husband made that knocked us both sideways a few days ago.
lots of smoothies and other light things since. Hope you're all rockin it.

No I haven't ... I've been tempted, though. I really need to start on this stuff!! =)

[queenbee]

Today was fun because I made raw 'cheeze-its' from the recipe posted on the recipe forum here. YUM. I need to hide these from myself....

B: Mango smoothie (mango, almonds, coconut butter, dates, ginger)
S: Grapefruit & a few nuts
L: Big salad with mixed greens, sauerkraut, avocado, corn, tomatoes, capers... I forget everything on it
S: Mint-Stawberry smoothie (strawberry, avocado, mint, spinach, dates)
D: Red pepper soup (red peppers, sprouts, avocado, lemon, miso, basil, dulse)
S: "Cheeze-Its" (cashews, raw tahini, red pepper, nut. yeast, onion, garlic, lemon, sea salt - dehydrated to deliciousness)

Cheers!

Hey QueenBee! I'm feeling a pretty good buzz right about now...just drank a whole bottle of Kumbucha and thought about you!!!! I usually only drink 1/2, but it was tasting SO good that I just finished it! :-)

:) We only get the "white label" kombucha here, but when I was in CA I got carded buying kombucha b/c I had picked up "black label." I knew they had taken it off the shelf here & it took a while to come back, but didn't know the extent of the change!

Was it a specific flavor? I love them all....

Meeee too!!! Yesterday I had the Strawberry. I love the Green one too...really I love all of them.

You should try making Rejuvelac! It's incredibly easy....Alissa walks you through it in RFFE. :)
