| Santa Claus - Vegetarian, Fruitarian or Raw Food Vegan?
I believe Santa is a raw vegan but obviously he eats too many avocados and too much raw cheesecake, look at that belly!! What do you think?
Happy Holidays to one and all! Soon, New Year will be here and we will make those resolutions, again!
I would just like to wish everyone happy holidays as we continue to put out positive energy out there and spread hope and joy for a more peaceful and compassionate world for the upcoming year. Things really are changing, and we are part of that change.

Try this recipe would ya?
Pecan Blondies - makes 12
So says the person who created this recipe:
"This delicious blond brownie tastes like the brown sugar blondies I used to eat in elementary school. Studded with plenty of pecans, make sure to dehydrate it to your desired level of oohy-gooiness, or dehydrate the full amount for a drier 'energy bar' texture.
Ingredients
* 2 cups millet, soaked and drained
* 8 medjool dates
* 1 cup agave nectar
* 2 teaspoons vanilla or a vanilla bean scraped
* ˝ teaspoon sea salt
* 1 cup flaxmeal, or up to 2c, ground extra fine
* 1 cup pecans, chopped
Preparation
Process the millet until it's a paste. Add everything but the flax and pecans and process until it resembles a pancake batter (it will be loose!)
In a separate bowl, stir in the flaxmeal, until it thickens to cookie dough consistency and stir in the pecans.
Dehydrate at 105 degrees for 10-12 hours or until firm (test it, and do less time, if you like moister brownies)"
Enjoy a wonderful RAWliday! We wish to extend good wishes for a healthy, peaceful, prosperous, joyous and blissful 2008, not only to you and your family but to the entire world.
Holiday hugs,

If you are not familiar with live foods but want to check it out here are some easy tips for what to bring.
If you can get organic food that is always best!
1) an all raw veggie salad or all raw fruit salad,
2)sprouts
3)nuts or seeds that have been soaked in water for a minimum of 5 hours
4)an assortment of raw vegetable sticks or fruits,
5)raw vegetable sticks with raw nut or seed butter,
6)fresh juice-carrot/celery/cucumber or fruit on fruit night
7) whole foods has live sauerkraut sometimes in the refrigerated section near the tofu and miso,
8)whole foods sells packages of seaweed, dulse, arame and raw nori, if you happen to have that are great!
If you need more guidance on food combining or any other aspect or if you would like me to suggest something that's easy please don't hesitate to ask. Amar

| Maintaining Healthy Lifestyle after Catastrophe |
|
|
If you have been a raw fooder for a length of time, you have probably experienced remarkable health benefits. You most likely are confident that a raw food diet would help you heal faster and more thoroughly, perhaps even save your life in the event of a serious accident or injury.
While western medicine is effective in the emergency treatment of physical trauma, many of us would agree, western medicine is less effective in long term healing. If you are unconscious or heavily sedated in a hospital, who is going to make sure you get the nutrition and care you need? The hospital staff would be, at least, ignorant at worst, hostile to alternative nutrition. Many of us lack the support of a life partner or family in the changes we have made in our diet and they may be unavailable to advocate for your dietary needs.
A group of us will be having a series of informal discussions on these issues, Our goal is to form a core of committed raw fooders to address these issues and to set up a system of support (for example arranging for meals, becoming a healthcare proxy, educating healthcare providers and family) for ourselves in the event of catastrophic injury.
Meetings will be held in East Cambridge. Call for location, date and time #6174922340 |
