Let me know what other subjects you would like to see addressed in this newsletter, we do read all our emails. Send to nomi@rawgourmet.com. <BR/><BR/>1. Keep two jar sprouted items in your refrigerator to add to salads or to top off soup or entrees.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>2. Always have sunflower sprouts and buckwheat lettuce on hand, or mixed greens. <BR/><BR/>3. Keep a jar of almonds soaking in your refrigerator. Change the water every day and they will keep for five days.<BR/><BR/>4. Mix up a big batch of your favorite Basic Pate each weekend, adding different seasonings to vary the taste during the week. <BR/><BR/>5. Make up enough of your favorite salad dressings to last you one week. Keep the ingredients for your favorite quick dressings on hand.<BR/><BR/>6. Keep sauerkraut in your refrigerator, it will last for many weeks. <BR/><BR/>7. Shop on your way home from work and base your meal on what is fresh that day, or go to the farmer's market or grocery twice a week.<BR/><BR/>8. Bags of pre-washed organic baby lettuces contain a variety of greens. For one or two people, these bags or boxes are convenient and waste-free. <BR/><BR/>9. Keep a bag of frozen ginger root in a plastic bag in your freezer. You can flavor foods and make tea by grating in a little frozen ginger. Never let frozen <BR/>ginger thaw. <BR/><BR/>10. Keep nuts, seeds, carob powder and grains in the freezer. Be particularly careful to freeze shelled nuts and seeds, as the oil in them can quickly turn rancid. Nuts and seeds still in the shell will keep for 1-2 years in a cool pantry. <BR/><BR/>11. Keep a dozen bananas in the freezer. Choose ripe, peeled fruit and freeze in plastic bags. They make wonderful "ice cream", smoothies and other frozen treats. Other fruits such as berries, mango, and pineapple can be purchased fresh or frozen and kept in the freezer for smoothies and desserts.<BR/><BR/>12. Try to pre-wash all produce before putting it away. You'll save time and energy by doing it all at once. Be sure your greens are dry before refrigerating. <BR/><BR/>These helpful hints are from the book The Raw Gourmet written by Nomi Shannon.

So, missed my chance to post how super-exciting Debbie's news was and how much I loved your post. Deb, can't wait for the book!<BR/><BR/>Kris, this post was just what I needed to reengage and recalibrate. <BR/><BR/>Bav, girl, what an amazing and helpful description of mindful eating! You're 100% spot on - this week I've allowed mega-stress back into my life and my eating habits have completely shifted. It's all about what will make me feel good in the immediate moment, which is clearly about emotion. And in the end, I feel terrible. So, mindful eating is a lovely idea to connect to.<BR/> <BR/>Sandra, love the folks at Breville and love, love, love my Breville too. One question - how is your blade holding up? I'm finding after daily juicing now for three months, the blade seems to be wearing a bit. Anyone else with a Breville experienced this? It still works like a charm, but...<BR/><BR/>Clint, glad to see that you're up and at 'em. <BR/><BR/>MMC, thanks for the reminder about our interconnectedness, how we're collectively responsible for the acidity in our environment and in our lives. It's encouraging to realize that every shift - even at the smallest level - will affect the balance of our personal health and our community's health and hot mama earth's health, to use Kris' faboo term for the planet. It reminds me that change doesn't have to be all out, all the way, right now, but that these transitions - all the large and small ways we're incorporating wellness practices into our lives - will tip the balance in the right direction. <BR/><BR/>So, thanks for all the good thinking and the good reminders, friends. I appreciate this little community for finding a wealth of like-minded folks with a desire to live well, in all the ways that applies to our own particular situations.<BR/><BR/>Take care everyone!*heather*https://www.blogger.com/profile/10319306753296659069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-58090980093761609272008-03-21T09:57:00.000-04:002008-03-21T09:57:00.000-04:00Thank you for the explanation.

I've been to a few retreats that serve raw food and when I eat this way at home I can't believe how satisfied I feel after eating.

You all look fierce on my new and improved screen. <BR/>The other thing that broke during my travels is the lid that goes on the cup of my juicer, ya know, the thingy with the spout that keeps the greens from splattering all over the place...SO, I have been sans juice for several days now and I feel the difference. So sluggish am I! Zzzz...<BR/>Luckily, the fab folks at Breville are sending me a new lid FREE of charge! Loving them. Buy yourself a Breville, friends. They're awesome. <BR/>I needed this post to get me motivated once again. Thanks, Kris! <BR/>About canker sores- you might try the Rembrandt "Sensitive" toothpaste made specifically for canker sore sufferers.

What meds are you on? How long have you been on them? How old are you? Menstruating? Thyroid function? Exercise routine? And my fave, diet? Kris was spot on, a food journal, tracking everything you eat over a few days, will give me much more insight. There are often hidden calories we can trim, if weight is a concern for you. Don't worry, girl, we'll sort it out and get you strutting your sassy stuff again in those jeans!! I just need more info....<BR/><BR/>All those sugar cravings. I practice what I call "mindful eating," which helps me to combat going to the not-so-good for me snacks.<BR/><BR/>In my opinion, much of the eating we do in this country is out of emotional needs, not nutritional needs. I know when I am super stressed, or emotional about something, I immediately want a "treat" to make myself "feel better," which usually ends up making me feel worse - guilty or even sick. As Americans, we don't tend to focus on the experience of eating. We are so disconnected with the process. We eat standing at the kitchen counter, while driving, running out the door, while watching tv - rush, rush, rush.<BR/><BR/>I think we need to reconnect with how food nourishes us. Whatever you eat, be in the moment. Focus on the sight of the food, the smell. What is its texture in your mouth? How do you feel eating the food? Go inward, listen to what your body is telling you as that food slides down into your stomach. Pause. How do you physically feel? Be really present as you eat. Why am I eating this? What is this going to do for me? What am I truly looking for this food to do for me? Is that in my best interest? How will I feel afterwards - physically, emotionally? Am I trying to nourish my body or some other void in myself?<BR/><BR/>I have found, if I do this, those pesky cravings shift from the Krispy Kreme to something healthy. It is hard to mow down a big plate of fries when you are conscious of each and every fry you bring to your mouth. If you raise your connection with the food as you eat it, you may find you aren't so connected to the stuff that isn't the best choice.<BR/><BR/>Also, find healthier alternatives for "treats." When I need something sweet, my fave is a young coconut smoothie. Meat and water of 1 young thai coconut, juice of 1/2 lime, pinch of Himalayan salt, tsp. of vanilla bean paste, packet of stevia. Blend and drink. YUM!<BR/>And sometimes, just a small organic medjool date will do you. Soft, smooth, sweet - delish!<BR/><BR/>Ok, I could go on and on... I'll stop there... for now! :)<BR/><BR/>Big hugs,<BR/>bbavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10686022979577166781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-10596365375022636962008-03-20T20:15:00.000-04:002008-03-20T20:15:00.000-04:00Justme baby!

I am personally in the beginning stages of all of this stuff and I feel like I am clawing my way through a jungle trying to figure this out sometimes! I am trying to figure out what works and what doesn't work for myself... I have made huge strides though and have never felt better! I think I am about 70-80% raw and properly food combining for a while now with no hiccups. I feel very satisfied and truly LOVE this way of eating. It is so simple. So natural. Its amazing to look back to a very recent past and think.."I was eating that???!" Its crazy that we have been "trained" to think certain things are normal to eat..fast food, highly processed food, etc.<BR/><BR/>I have a couple questions though. One thing I am a little perturbed by is that even though I have been eating a million times healthier..my weight is only a couple of pounds lighter than when I was eating absolutely horrible food! I don't get it.. I am eating very simply... I'll have about 20-25oz. of green drink late morning/early afternoon. For lunch a huge salad with half an avocado on a piece of sprouted grain toast. Dinner, another huge salad with a side of quinoa, and a small baked sweet potato (sometimes instead Ill have a veggie burger and a little quinoa...etc). I am working out too! So I dont know, maybe it will just take a while.<BR/><BR/>Another problem I ran into was canker sores! I never get those! Ever. I am not sure if it is a "detox" thing or if it is because of the lemons and limes I put in my green juice... OR if its because I use balsamic vinegar in all of my dressings (its a quick dressing with some EVOO). Its weird... I am not sure what other dressings to make either. I love tahini based dressings but I haven't made one because I am not sure if it is a neutral dressing or not... <BR/><BR/>Anyway-I am love this subject! I am glad everyone is chatting about it again. I learn so much here!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-8888805340153477182008-03-20T13:34:00.000-04:002008-03-20T13:34:00.000-04:00Wow! nice clear cut simple explanation!
