    Default Raw Foods

    From time to time I order from a local chef who runs a Raw Food delivery service. I hadn't gotten anything from her in weeks..So I decided to order something today..I was shocked at how good the food was ! I especially liked the soup. The "egg salad" sandwich was on onion bread, ummm..so yummy !
    I just finished a small container of mango pudding..The food took my body a second to get used to, it really cleans out your system..But, I haven't felt better in weeks..My body feels so good. I'm full but, not stuffed.
    Anyone else tried Raw Food or have a fav recipe to share ?

    I'd like to try making some of the dishes myself, I looked into and there is a school about an hour away from me..
    My new love...is me !

    Good question..It's like a bread and they call it a "bread" but I would classify it as more of a thick tortilla type square thingy ! It had onion pieces in it, not the hard crunchy type, and it was delious !

    Here's the website. www.thrivinedibles.com

    To be perfectly honest with you I just order and don't ask questions. I've only been dissatisfied once, she sent over something else free of charge and threw in a treat free of charge..So I've become accustomed to"blindly" ordering..

    Ooooh... I always keep trying the raw food diet (there's even posts about it) but I keep failing at bread and milk. I can never last more than two days!

    Ohhh... how do you guys deal with stomach issues? Seems like it'd make you a bit (or more) bloated/gassy...

    Huh... when I tried it (again for two days at a time) I didn't even get gas. I didn't even think of that!

    The bread is sort of dehydrated. I had a raw cookbook called RAWsome, and you were supposed to make kind of like bread patties and then put them in the oven at such a low temperature that nothing would be destroyed and then leave it overnight, I think.

    The easy way to do it is just sprout any kind of grain until it gets kinda gloopy, then gloop it together and dehydrate it.

    I drink a small carton of Rejuvelac once a week or a large one over 4 days.
    It has made gas a thing of the past for me. Gas used to be my curse for being a veggie ! I can't tell you how many times I'd miss work because of it.

    Speaking of milk...I forgot to mention the container of Almond Milk I ordered.
    It was so good and fresh tasting..So much better than the kind I get from Whole Foods..It's suppose to be really good for you too but, I haven't done any research.

    Yup...it's called spelt bread, and it's so good. Vegan bread rules.

    LOL..I'm too nervous that it'll make a sound ! I think it'd be a great way to keep from getting more dances.
    Your story reminds me of one day in yoga when I got a front corner spot, which is usally great because it's very private and I feel like I'm in the room by myself..
    Anywho, the instructor had gas and kept laying those silent deadly ones everytime he opened the door to let in air. I nearly gagged as the gas built up in my little corner..Oh great now my dog just released one ! Bad boy !!

    what exactly are the eggs? Clearly the egg salad was not raw! Almond milk is delicious; A friend and I made it one day just as an experiment and it was really good!

    Can someone give some rec's on dishes? We have a giant raw food resturant inside our wholefoods... I pass it up everytime I'm there because I'm afraid I'll hate it, and it's sorta expensive. You guys steared me right when I asked for rec's on Greek food, so I trust your food judgement.

    IFawn, I suggest trying soups, I never not liked any of the soups I've tasted.
    I like hamburgers, pasta ( it's thin slices of veggies and some sort of sauce.)
    Toona salad is good, egg salad, burritos, breads, chips are good, desserts are so-so..I most like the pudding and chocolate mousse
    Check this menu..It's got the basic Raw dishes.

    The thing only I don't like raw are Portabella Mushrooms !

    I have many raw food recipes from books i had to buy when i took a raw food class last year. Raw food is usually "cooked" using a dehydrator (like Excalibur brand) where the temperature can be set at an exact temperature of no more than 105-107. At higher temperatures the enzymes begin to denature and the food can no longer be considered raw. Any recipe requests?

    oh and farrah do you know all of the places they deliver? I live in the valley...

    ALMOND MILK RECIPE
    1 cup almonds
    3-4 dates
    6 cups distilled water

    Soak almonds 18-24 hour, drain and rinse. Pit dates. Blend half the almonds, half the dates and 3 cups distilled water until very creamy. Repeat with remaining incredients. Pour through a very fine strainer to remove the pulp (or use a cheese cloth for even finer results). Serve at room temperature, and refrigerate any remaining. Almond milk will keep 3-4 days

    PS: most people who make this recipe are using a very powerful blender called vitamix. never tried it with any other kind of blender, but as long as you use the cheesecloth it should still taste the same!

    ^ She delivers in the South Bay Area, The Peninsula, Santa Cruz and it's surrounding area..She also ships. So far she's shipped back East and the Midwest.
    I've asked her to ship to me when I go to Hawaii for 2 mths. She's given me a great deal that I can't pass up.. I already have a Fed-Ex account, I'll have her use that for shipping and then pay her directly for the food.

    Her phone is on the website if you want to talk to her directly or you can always send an email.
