The carob-coconut treats look tasty. I’m a sucker for anything with coconut in it.

Actually, PJ, I said that I was a mostly raw vegan. If you read my “About” section, you’ll see that I state quite clearly that I eat a high portion of raw foods, but many cooked ones as well, and all vegan.

Gena,

I am a little confused.

Your recipes are fantastic. Numerous ones are great for someone who was a raw vegan. My confusion is that some of them are steamed, cooked, etc which no longer makes them raw. Can you please claify this for me? I an confused because you have said that you are a raw vegan.

Thanks,

Hi, love this post!
I’ve been reading about yeast problems and have a question. Does eliminating yeast foods such as bread and brewer’s yeast help or does it have nothing to do with yeast problems because the stomach acid kills the yeast in foods? (that is, if any of the yeast in foods are still active to begin with, I guess) Some nutritionist insist on this, but I don’t quite get it.

Oh, a tip in cooking sweet potato / yams. Cook in low temp like 300 degrees. Sure it takes longer, but it will be naturally sweeter that you won’t need any added sugar. This is because there are enzymes in the sweet potato that converts carbs to sugar so we want to gently heat up the stuff so that the enzymes have a lot of time to work before they get stopped in high temp.

Have done the avo-berry pudding twice now, left out the sweetener both times. Who needs it – it was wonderful with just the 2 fruits! This could be breakfast some morning. I’m thinking it also might be really good with whipped cream folded in . . .

Also made the banana soft serve (from another post) last week, for the first time. Awesome stuff!

Told a few folks about those two treats, and they seemed quite interested. Can’t wait to try some of these other recipes. BIG thanks for sharing recipes and info, Gena!
