Anyone know of a good not-too-expensive electric spiralizer? For someone who loves spiralized zucchini noodles but who doesn't want to mess with having to carefully balance the zukes like with the Joyce Chen and who doesn't have ROOM for one of those big things they have with the cranks...?

I really like the "Herbed Cheez" recipe in Mimi Kirk's book LIVE RAW.
My son and his best friend like it so much that for years I often make it for them for the holidays and special occasions. Neither of them eat dairy and they just love it. The spices I usually add are garlic (fresh) and dill (dried), a little good salt and a bit of black pepper.
If you make a big batch of it y

Thank you, John Rose!
I'm loving my chia seed puddings! My current favorite is chocolate, which I make by adding cacao powder, vanilla and a little honey (plus pinch of salt). Yum. That's all with my homemade coconut milk.
And I DO want at least 1/3 cup chia seeds per cup of liquid, sometimes more.

John Lennon was an anomaly to me. On the one hand he promoted world peace; on the other hand, although his own childhood had deep scars, he abandoned his baby boy (Julian) very coldly.
On the one hand he wanted us to imagine a beautiful sort of heaven on earth; on the other hand, he specified specifics that would only bring us to a one world dictatorship (no borders could only happen with a on

I would love to try chickpeas straight from the shell, but never have had that opportunity.
I have however tried -- a number of times -- making hummus with soaked and sprouted garbanzo beans that were uncooked.
It never failed to cause me digestive upset (although I am not at all prone to digestive probs).

LOVE this Asian sauce
6 Tbl tahini
1 c. water
3/4 c. Nama shoyu or wheat-free tamari
3/4 c. scallions
3 Tbl flaxseed oil (or olive oil)
3-4 Tbl honey
3 Tbl grated ginger root
3-4 cloves garlic
3/4 tsp Chinese 5-spice (I use less as I find this can easily overwhelm the other flavors)
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Toss all ingredients into blender and blend!

Transitioning can be a britch!
I have a very good feeling that I am transitioning well to high-raw diet (finally). "Roller coaster" may not tell the half of it as to my history with diet, but the older I get (mid-60s now!) the more I realize I will have LITTLE quality of life physically without going high-raw (as in over 80%). Yet the transition has usually been and felt scary to im

Thanks, Prana.
Oh, by the way I gave the wrong ingredient amounts in my "recipe" above. I should have said 2/3 cup chia to 3 cups liquid (because I like it thick). I really think that 1/3 cup for each cup would be too too thick!

My fave new green drink:
Fill the blender to the top with organic leafies and approx. 1/4 (or more) cup almond milk or other mylk. Blend on high until liquefied. Then I add approx. 1-1 1/2 cups (or whatever I can afford) of frozen blueberries or cherries and blend on high again.
Done. No sweeteners added, no nothing added. It's not a sweet drink but very nice to drink and makes me feel GREA

INCREDIBLE price on the Blendtec. I have had mine for about 15-plus years and love it.
I used to have to replace the container almost every year or two until I learned from a chef (on this board I believe) that it was abusing the blender not to (gently) hold down the lid and thus stabilize the container while blending. I've been doing that ever since and have had the same container for 7-8 ye

My roommate said she used to take diatomaceous earth (food grade only of course) internally. She said it helps get more silica into the body.

Thanks, Thai!
I soaked it for half an hour or so and then put it in the frig and didn't eat it for a day. Does that count as soaking it 24 hours?
I like mine really thick (about 1/3 cup chia for each cup of water or liquid). Then after it is ready to eat, if I have any dried fruits (which I happen to have dried cranberries) I stir them in and in a little time they become plump and soft and

Well, I am probably worrying over nothing. I'm trying it this time without grinding them!
I made homemade coconut milk using organic coconut flakes and water in the Blentech, straining out through a nutmilk bag -- then added a cup or two of frozen blueberries, a little vanilla extract, a pinch of salt and 1-2 TBL honey and blended. Then I put it all in a dish that has a plastic lid and stirred

I like to make a chia pudding with coconut milk and berries. My question is this: should I grind the chia or is it preferable to leave the seeds whole within the pudding? (I would not actually grind them, but by adding to the blender that would grind them up.)
I prefer NOT grinding them, but I heard someone say they could get stuck in the intestines -- and another person say they might just go

I wouldn't blame it all on social media. It seemed like there was a huge exodus after that big crash years ago (around 2005 maybe?) that lost all the archives. I think people felt they had "invested" in the site with so much and to lose it all was pretty devastating. I'm trying to remember the different handles I went by back then. I kept changing my mind.

I make a sort of coconut butter with coconut flakes (from brown coconuts, sold at health food stores). Unsweetened, of course.
I just fill the food processor nearly full with the coconut flakes, and using an S blade, put on the lid and turn it on. Nothing needs to be added. Just process for a long time (maybe 10 min or longer).
The final results are like coconut cream but with some fine gr

For hummus I prefer using zucchini or yellow squash in lieu of sprouted raw chickpeas. But then I never had much luck sprouting chickpeas. They always seemed "off" so I don't sprout them for eating raw anymore.

I make my raw tahini in a food processor: I fill the container pretty high (3/4 full or so) and ADD 2-3 TBL. raw sesame oil OR coconut oil.
Then I turn it on -- using the S blade -- setting my timer for 10-12 minutes.
Viola -- it's done -- and delish...!

There IS truly raw cacao now as well as truly raw cacao butter -- sourced from Big Tree Farms in Bali.

There are more problems with cocoa powder than just the high temperatures.
It appears that even cooked cocoa/cacao is safe, but of course with companies like Hersheys they are not only adding b

That is so strange. I just saw my post from 4 years ago. That was when I was first getting arthritis but didn't know what it was. That I blamed it on salt for a while I had totally forgotten! I believe I was wrong about the salt.
