Date: February 05, 2007 11:58PM no-it was 19 calories per tablespoon for the carrot hummous.i now remember what i read-grated beets for red rice and grated yams for red rice.I saw the cook book u have and i should of gotten ti cause i alot of times am just cooking for me and hubby.that would be a good book cause so many books have recipes for 4 or more servings per recipe...i am too full to do the carrot hummous tonite. but tomorrow for sure. you are doing great.hgus taylor Re: two weeks into it.

Date: February 06, 2007 06:01PM alicenubby: I love that cookbook - I have it too!
I have to cook for the other five people in the house, so it's so great to have some recipes for just me that I don't have to divide or figure out - I can just make a separate plate of food just for me! I love the marinara sauce, although the second time I made it, I accidentally used way too much garlic - you don't need much, and I'm crazy about the nori rolls. They are really great! I used the menu suggestions, and I like the way they combine. The juices are pretty good too. So many of my recipe books have a lot of labour intensive recipes, and it is so nice to have found this one - most things don't take very long to prepare at all! If you try a recipe, and love or hate it, please post - the only recipe I wasn't crazy about was one of the dessert recipes. I forget what it was called, but I think it was some kind of date cake with berries on top. When I opened the fridge the second day, I notice the cake untouched, but all the berries picked off and gone, haha!! Good luck! Sapphire Re: two weeks into it.

Date: February 07, 2007 08:09PM hi there....well instead of vinegar in your salad your sis made you for christmas try using lemon it is what i have read about substituting for vinegar in receipes because the vinegar causes an unnatural amount of acid in your body!!
good luck love sachelle xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Re: two weeks into it.

Date: February 09, 2007 11:30AM Taylor, nah I haven't used any recipes 'cept for a lettuce wrap.it was ok. kinda hard to eat though.
I have been reading up on some of your guyses journals and i feel like a little pigglet I eat soooo much on raw.hmmm maybe that's why I haven't lost weight (really).one profound thing i have noticed is my last 2 PMS' have been mental- hospital, horrid.I really did think My husband was going to have me commited. really sad.I have a friend that said when you go raw everything is more sensitive....eyesight....hearing..... emotions....SEX....etc, some of them heve been really cool but????????? I would love feed back ladies( seems like a lot of us journalers are ladies). Re: two weeks into it.

Date: February 09, 2007 12:56PM i love the lettuce wraps/i use romaine lettuce. so good and instead of empty cals.we get nourishment.good good idea!I got my spiral slicer and nowthat i am off that water fast-i am looking forward to zucchini noodles tonite with raw tomato sauce on top for dinner tonite.yeah-the pms thing.mine is done.got thru the menopause thing.it was so hard and horrid. i hurt so bad thru the whole thing.but i don't have pms anymore.when i use to-it was pretty bad.my hubby would make me so mad.he would say"somebody is gonna start there period soon"oh!! it would make me so mad.i was crazy.then i would start to question my own sanity and then i would start and he was right.agh.made me mad.then i would thank god! i was not crazy after all.ha ha!i tell my hubby is is deaf and he says i am the same.so my hearing is still deafish.according to him and others.i don't see good.but my sense of smell is way better.funny-sex has always been good...cause i love that man.hee hee.anyway-u and rawrnr are amazing...all the working out.i think this is why u eat so much.it is ok.if u are not gaining and happy with your weight.hugs taylor Re: two weeks into it.

today wasn't so good. I ate dark choc. licorice. corn chips. and this rice dish my husband made. tons of raw food too though. a couple of you guys are doing bannana mono fasts??? sounds so easy but yet so hard(and mushy) hmmmm something to think about. I bet I could do two days. the Chilly Hilly bike ride is in 9 days!!! yayaaaaay It will be fun and hard. I will need to stock up on Larabars so I don't eat their food...although the last event like this I did they had tons of fruit....so did the one before that.better to be safe than sorry. bye.

Date: February 20, 2007 12:44PM hi alice nubby
had fun reading your journal your salad with the kale sounded extra delicious too will try that after i come off my fast ( will be a while though) biking sounds fun esp. in nature where u can smell the dirt see the crevasses on the mountain and be surrounded by some plants ( even if they're just twiggy ones) brambles and bushes some parts of your journal made me laugh too but in a good way take care ver Re: two weeks into it.
