I also tend to gravitate toward heavier foods during cold weather - I must need the extra fat to keep me warm. Hey, it works for the Eskimos!
I have hot tea on cold days even when I am doing all raw. Adding more fruit or coconut so that you aren't starving could help too.
I hear ya on the memory lapse - that's why I love this community & all the raw educators & bloggers I can see/hear/read online. Good luck!
Thanks for the input Angie. I appreciate and will try your suggestions. I'm also in a my house won't sell funk so I'm sure that's contributing to my blue state of mind. I Do always feel better when I eat raw, but sometimes have memory lapse...funny…
Something I like to do for raw food inspiration is to take a trip to the store without a recipe or shopping list, and just buy whatever sounds/looks good, then go home & make it into something. Another thing I like to do is challenge myself to make…
What can I do for inspiration as the cold is sending me up cooked food river. I feel like a fraud every time I donn't eat raw.....!!!!!
Are there any people on the East End of Long Island-hamptons area-who are attempting a raw lifestyle??
Please respond ASAP...it would be nice to have abudyy or two or more!
Hey Bunny- I had to join the local food pantry last year for similar reasons. The one in my community did offer decent veggies from local farms....so don't go hungry. There is help there for you if you need it. Hang in there and feel the love!

This is beautiful! Can you share the recipe?
Just think of it as a dead carcass and wonder how much energy can you get from it...not to mention parasites and mercury!
Six of 1 1/2 a dozen of the other. The vita mix is most expensive and had a device that goes through the top to assist movement of ingredients. It's all about the horse power when you get down to it. Montel Williams is doing an infomercial as of lat…
Hi All- I'm on the last day of a blessed herbs 8 day cleanse and have been on retreat in Port st Lucie since 7/18 when I had to vacate my house for rental purposes. I sent my blend tec to where I am staying so I could concentrate on being raw. Decid…

- I'm transitioning and started a new job at the same time. I'm not 100% but since there are no raw police I feel pretty good about my progress and commitment. The videos are a great help so thank you all for putting it out there.
Raw Hugs!!!

- goodness, Sorry...haven't loggod on in AGES! I just got to the US again from China...here is the recipe or the pecan pie, Enjoy!!! hugs, gypsi
Raw Pecan Pie
- makes 20 to 24 squares -
Ingredients
2 cups raw almonds, soaked for an hour and drained
35 pitted dates, soaked for 1 hour and drained
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups raw pecans, soaked for an hour and drained
Cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil, to grease your pan
Procedure
1. Combine the almonds and 10 of the dates in a food processor, and process until they are coarsely ground and clumping together. Grease the bottom of a 9-inch square brownie pan or a pie plate (I recommend the square pan so you can cut it into little squares-It is extremely rich!) with a little cold-pressed olive oil to keep the pie from sticking to the plate. Press the almond-and-date mixture evenly into the bottom of brownie pan and up the sides to form a crust. Set aside.
2. Combine the remaining dates, the fresh lime juice, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla in a blender or small food processor (I also added a pinch of nutmeg, and used a little less cinnamon) and process until the mixture has a smooth, uniform consistency. Spread the date filling evenly over the crust. Arrange the raw pecans on top of the date mixture and press lightly.
Here is where I tasted the filling and knew something was missing :P
All you agave haters out there are not going to like me very much...but I drizzled the whole thing in agave, which added to the sticky moistness and gave it a shiny glaze and added sweetness.
Cut the pie into 2-inch squares and serve. ENJOY!!!
