I love gardening, I once worked on a farm in the Berkshires, and then in Patagonia, but lately the only farming I am doing, sadly, is on Farvmville, the facebook game, where you plant and grow your own imaginary crops.

That saloup sounds interesting. I don’t cook for our family so I have no recipes to share.

I love the name ‘saloup’ and the idea. I love soups but with raw find so many are simply blended and I like ‘chunk’ to my soups. The mix of salad and soup is great.

I haven’t made any HORRIBLE concotions yet with raw foods, lol learned my lessons years ago on what flavors worked and didn’t work with cooked and I test new veggies before adding them to things now.

BEST was a ‘bottomless pit’ salsa I had going for awhile last summer. I started with a fresh tomatillo based salsa/salad and as the bowl got down to 1/3 I would add more fresh veggies. This happened for a good week, so at the end the flavors that had developed were pretty interesting because I never added the same items.

hi, i blended some sprouted chickpeas with garlic, lemon juice and olive oil and a little salt and i eat it in little scoops made from red peppers or any lettuce leaves and i can almost kid myself that i’m eating cheese! Also i made a choclate orange mousse from advocado, raw cocoa, zest and juice of an orange then sweetened with raw honey, this is great for anyone making the transition to raw food, my husband ate it and had no idea he was eating raw food he even hates advocado!!! sorry i haven’t given any quantities here but i just invent by throwing things in. I’m probabley not the first to invent these 2 recipes but i really like them.

My worst experiment? adding collard greens to my fresh veggie juice, it was really bitter, I drank it anyway but it took me all day to sip it down. Kale works better for juices. I use 3-4 pieces of kale, handful of spinach, 1 cucumber, 3-4 stalks of celery, 2-3 carrots, handful of wheatgrass, tblsp fresh ginger, small handful of milk thisle seeds, small handful of horse tail, and 1 granny smith apple for sweetness. Also I use a nylon knee high stocking to strain it, I find that works better for straining juice as opposed to the nut milk bags. A trick I learned from Dr. Robert young’s wife when I went to a retreat at their Rancho Del Sol in San Diego California.

Re being so cold -

some thoughts: If your kidney energy is weak that can cause coldness. Keep your kidney area warm at all times, drink warm things only never cold foods or beverages. some chinese herbs strengthen the kidney chi energy. Make sure to add sea vegetables and good forms of sodium (but not too much) to your dietary regimen – there needs to be a balance of sodium and potassium. Also check your iron levels and ferritin levels to see if you are anemic and finally – b12 (try Dr. Mercola’s b12 spray. Check out lists of what are cold and hot foods in chinese medicine ie
mint, cucumber, citrus, are cold foods. Of course Thyroid issues can also cause cold. Lastly…exercise! If the heart is weak, lack of circulation etc. can cause cold. Hope these ideas help!

Usha, you might want to be tested for hypothyroidism, those symptoms describe it perfectly.

I know this isn’t really any strange concoction for all of us here but taking a green smoothie into my exercise class at this “active adult” community where I’m currently staying is rather bizarre! But guess what? Success! “Yummy” and smiles!
My mantra lately has been “two heads of lettuce and a shot of Ormus” and I guess it’s spilling out into my little world – thanks to you Kevin and AnnMarie! My water bottle is green and proud! I really do like the taste of “Ormus” water!(and I’ve been putting it into the smoothies) Oh, by the way, I’ve been making green smoothies for my husband every morning now for a couple months, he drinks on his way to work, and get this; nothing else at all in his diet has changed and he’s lost almost 30 pounds! I was stunned when he revealed this to me! Still a bit of a belly to work off but there’s magic in those leafy greens!
