Update 1/19/09 - I found a new yummy recipe It involves blending raw cashews, vanilla, water, dates, and cinnamon. Once it's blended, it become similar to yogurt or cream. Then you mix in berries. Good stuff. Here's a link. There's a video on the website.

This raw foods diet is really challenging. For the last week, I've had a healthy fruit/veggie juice for breakfast. It's usually 1 or 2 oranges, an apple, a handful of spinach, a zucchini, blueberries and blackberries, and a cucumber. Then I add some Mona Vie and some liquid vitamins. Actually, the juice drink is pretty good, but the added veggies took some getting used to. It's definitely healthy and gets me off to a good start for the day. Erica and Robin love the fresh OJ (they skip the rest of the veggies in theirs).
For lunch and dinner, I've been having nice big salads and/or veggie pieces (like broccoli with a little ranch).
After a week of that, I was ready to start preparing raw foods. To help with this process, I bought a new food processor and a new dehydrator. I spent several hours yesterday getting ready to prepare some food. I made 3 recipes--1 was good. The other 2 were horrible. I made a fantastic raw apple pie (recipe linked here). The 2 horrible ones were tasty tacos and raw pasta with basil cream.
So, I'm going back to my favorite cancer website to find out what other people have made. I'll also be looking for more yummy recipes online. If any of you have good raw veggie recipes, please let me know. Good ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
Tim
