I would love to start getting more omega-3's in my diet and I would like to make it easier for myself by using pre-ground flax seeds (I don't have a grinder, nor do I wish to buy one) to use in different recipes. Also, if I use pre-ground or freshly ground flax seeds in cooked or baked recipes, will that destroy the beneficial nutrients in the flax seeds? Thanks in advance! Hi Gena,

If you browse raw recipes, they're loaded with onion. I just HATE raw onion, and I semi-hate cooked onion. Same with garlic. If I can taste it on my palate more than five minutes after I eat it, I'm NOT a fan. Blech! I use garlic now and then if I'm cooking it down a lot, but that is IT. G Molly,

Well, thank you so much for another great post that I needed to hear RIGHT NOW! Ever since losing 50 pounds on a very healthy almost vegan diet, I have been struggling with keeping the weight off. Your thoughts just helped me to put this all into perspective and I can't thank you enough. Gena-Have I told you lately that I love you?

I think that will help me through a lot these days. Thank you. :) Those crackers look fab and are so versatile. I love using almond pulp because it really gets things crispy. Drying it and using it in raw desserts is also one of my favorite ways to use it up. I love that quote!!! I think that will help me through a lot these days. Thank you. :)

Is that a raw food no-no? Or do you personally just hate them? I'm kind of on the fence. I love the flavor, but my digestive system doesn't like them much. I'm really curious to hear your take. Thanks! Hey Gena,

In being Type A, and perfection driven, I have gotten a lot accomplished professionally... But! I am by no means perfect, even as it applies to nutrition. I have found that it can be quite easy to want to be mad at myself for having taken a step back. It has taken me years to be "ok" with those "step backs." I think "progress over perfection" is a fabulous mantra to recite. Love the “progress over perfection.” In being Type A, and perfection driven, I have gotten a lot accomplished professionally… But!
