Guest guest Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Hello: I've been receiving boxes of food from my CSA since late May, and I've just decided that I should track the recipes I've come up with for the adventurous vegetables I've been receiving. I've put the recipes for last week and this week on my new blog http://prettysmartrawfoodideas.wordpress.com/ If you would like to check it out and give me your comments btw, I do not recommend doing all of the recipes in one meal - that would be a food combining nightmare, I think. Thanks Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Hi Margaret, I went and read your blog and I will try some of your recipes when I get back from camping. We leave on fri. I go to work tomorrow and get back on thur. I'm not sure if I will get to come home any this week. I liked your blog. This week I made some banana bread and cut it even smallar than what it said to. I also make some cookies but did them different also. That was to take up less space in the dryer. this is all for camping. I also got a green mix so I could have a green drink with me. It will not take me long to fix my food. When the rest have the corn I will eat mine raw which I seem to like very much. Could eat it all the time.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Margaret, I don't " know " you, but thank you for sharing your recipes. Especially for a " newbie " like me. I've been a nearly exclusive raw vegan since November 2006 now, but it's always good to see helpful recipes. Unfortunately, I've never been able to let go of my garlic & onion. And I've yet to get the green bell peppers that I grow in my garden to turn red, yellow, or any other color...no matter how long I let them sit in my garden...(And we love green bell peppers in our family so I guess we'll just have to now knowingly " poison " ourselves because we've never felt better in our lives.)

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Amy, we can only get the red ones in our greenhouse, I don't know why. We have thought it is because of our short summar, this has been the shortest in a long time. We have even had fog the past few day in the morning. I'm going to try some of Margarets recipes when I get back from camping. Theresa \o/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 hi, I've been lurking for a while...after being vegan for 10 years, I decided to go raw last month. For the first time in my life, I actually enjoy spending time in the kitchen (with my new appliances) and have more energy than ever. My digestive system and my skin has improved drastically. It's been an incredible experience. I'm also fairly obsessed with reading about the raw lifestyle, health benefits, personal journeys, etc...and in the process, I've found several websites offering delicious recipes. Here are a few of my favorites: Gone Raw: http://www.goneraw.com/ Living Tree: http://www.livingtreecommunity.com/store2/recipes.asp#1 Raw Freedom Community: http://www.rawfreedomcommunity.info/forum/ forumdisplay.php?f=63 The Raw Chef: http://therawchefblog.com/category/raw-recipes Feel free to share yours. ~Rose On Aug 6, 2007, at 6:24 AM, garyamythompsonjr wrote: > Margaret, > > I don't " know " you, but thank you for sharing your recipes. > Especially for a " newbie " like me.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I know this is really late, but it is important to answer an item or two in this message: Amy wrote: > Unfortunately, I've never been able to let go of my garlic > & onion. Okay, Amy, you could look at that as unfortunate or fortunate. Garlic and onion have been respected as healing elements for centuries. Garlic reduces blood pressure, helps against blood clotting, and helps lower LDL, inhibiting bad cholesterol. It enhances the immune system. The allicin in garlic inhibits bacterial and fungus growth. It is useful in overcoming candida and other yeast related overgrowths. Garlic is known to increase the flow of digestive enzymes. It also promotes detoxification through the skin. That definitely sounds like something I would most certainly want to eliminate from my diet. Uh... I mean... I want that.... uh, I mean... Oh heck! I am not following the designated drummer here or anywhere.... I am doing what I, myself, know and believe to be right for me. (I, at least, have done my legwork, and gotten my certifications, to tell me that I know what I am talking about) > And I've yet to get the green bell peppers that I grow in my garden > to turn red, yellow, or any other color...no matter how long I let > them sit in my garden... Apparently, there are peppers that will turn yellow, orange, or red, and there are peppers that will grow to maturity and still be green. I am trusting my organic farmer on this... he says his peppers do not turn any color. My grandmother's peppers never turned. My mother's peppers don't turn. I am supposing that, if you know the provenance of the peppers, and they are going to turn rotten if you don't pick them now, but they are still green, then green is their ripe color. I will eat my green peppers -- I have a personal commitment to eat what comes in the box from my CSA, and I trust my farmer. (I've eaten green peppers from my mom's garden before, and I haven't died). I probably will not eat green peppers from a supermarket - I do not know the grower. It seems to me that there was someone here a while back (maybe Judy Cozza) who said that her peppers did not turn... Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
