I think you would glean much wealth for yourself from this resource.

Gena's website and services for coaching people with raw food - she's awesome. And, ehem, I'm partial to my books, so yeah, I'll say I like them - LOL. ;) Cheers, Kristen I second what VeggieGirl said… Gena’s website and services for coaching people with raw food – she’s awesome.

Evita- thanks so much, and I'm so glad to see that you tried out the recipe, as well. Looks great! Aaron- I was, like you said, just trying to expand my food horizon, and I appreciate the information you've brought forth. I didn't know that raw cashews are in fact, not raw. I'm not here to knock anyone's lifestyle choices or anything but I'm sure that there is no criminal punishment for being for a raw foodist who isn't 100% raw. I think that raw foodists are most often looking to achieve a healthier lifestyle and whether that can be accomplished with a raw food diet is always going to be debated. (I recently stumbled across an article about how raw foods contribute to how much light we humans emit...and yes, we do emit light. I'll post the link at the bottom of this) But I say hey- either way, at least it's better than a diet filled with trans fats and genetically modified foods! http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/08/15/Your-Body-Literally-Glows-With-Light.aspx Thank you for your comments Amanda Mae, Juliana, Diana!!!

And it seems really easy too! I used to really enjoy deserts until I went vegan and refined-sugar-free, now my desert is fruit and nuts. And not that there is anything wrong with it, but why not make the fruits and nuts into this!!! I have so got to make this!!! Thanks for the great recipe!!! Oh MY GOD – this looks and sounds amazing.
