Latex gloves trap moisture and bacteria, and the bacteria grows. Some states realize this and do not require gloves. Not to mention all the gross chemicals in latex gloves. Washed hands without gloves are much better. And my original recipe contribution: Orange Zest Bars by Lauren Maybe you prefer lemon…or lime. These work, too, and I’d encourage you to try them as well and see which variety you like best. Simply replace the peel of the orange called for in the recipe with peel from whatever other citrus fruit you’re using. ¾ of 1 orange peel, grated 2 c Brazil nuts, almonds, or cashews 3-4 large medjool dates (or about ¼ c raisins) 1. Pulverize nuts in food processor. 2. Add remaining ingredients and continue to blend. 3. Press mixture into a square pan. 4. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving. (Refrigeration is optional.)

They are truly delicious! It's so wonderful to know that more and more folks from CT are finding that cookies don't need to be loaded with white sugar, corn syrup, etc. to taste so good! ...I remember when my kids were amazed that the cookies weren't baked in an oven, and they still loved them!

Thank you for the 'Best Coconut Chocolate Cookie Ever' recipe. I am looking forward to making them. I think my favorite raw food recipe would have to be 'kale salad'. I make it at least once a week and its really simple to make. Originally, I found the recipe on Karen Knowler's site and then saw another version of it by Paul Pacyna at Zegee.com. They both have videos of it on www.youtube.com Kale Salad 1. Take one bunch of organic kale and separate the leaves from the stems. (Put the stems aside for juicing) 2. Wash the leaves well and cut them into small pieces, first lengthwise, then widthwise. 3. Add a 1/2 teaspoon of Himalayan sea salt and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Massage into the kale with your hands. This softens the leaves. 4. Add 1/2 a ripe avocado and again mix in with your hands. 5. Add the juice of 1/2 a lemon. 6. Add a chopped raw tomato. 7. Add 3 chopped green onions. 8. Add 2-3 tablespoons of raisins or dried cranberries. 9. Mix it all together and serve. Hi Kevin,

It's been busy. Denise, there are some truly awesome raw cookbooks with a ton of info. in all of them on eating raw and the specific how-to's. Some of my favorites are Raw Food Real World by Sarma Mengalis, Living on Live Food by Alissa Cohen, The Raw Food Detox Diet, by Natalia Rose, Carol Alt's books are good too! Love Glenn's attitude and his place looks awesome! Here are some of my favorite raw recipes: Black Forest Cake and Raw Cinnamon Rolls in Alissa Cohen's book, Pear and Argula Salad and Greenmarket Salad in Raw Food Real World. If you can figure out how to make the Tacos in Raw Food Real World easier and less time consuming-that would be great. They are so awesome, but I rarely make them because of the time and plan way ahead factor!!! Stay Awesome, Tracy Kevin,

There was one thing that bothered me about the preparation. No gloves were used to mix the ingrediants. Isn't this against the public health laws? Not to mention that it just turned my stomach--yuck!! Suzanne Kevin,
