Dishwasher powder recipe...

I use this myself and it does work well...I also use vinegar for my rinse agent to remove any residue instead of the drying agents you can but at the store (like Jet Dry etc)

laundry soap recipe...

Ok so this isn't a RAW recipe however it will save you some money and I thought well, anything thats money saving means I will have more money to use in order to buy organic more often and make it easier to afford to stay RAW. Sooooo if you don't mind taking the time to do this it will save you TONS of money in the long run...This soap costs only about a penny per load!!!

I find the liquid recipe works best for cold water washing (I only use cold water for laundry) and for extra cleaning boost use oxyclean type product or what I do is just add 1/2 cup extra washing soda to the load of really grimey clothes.I personally just use ivory or homemade soap bars not Fels Naptha as stores in my area don't carry it...you can however find it online if you want to use it.Dr Bonners bars cost a bit more but they smell nice haha..

Here is the recipe :

Gourmet dinner...

Well tonight I went out for my first ever RAW gourmet dinner at a restaurant.Now this is a regular restaurant however they offer a 3 course gourmet raw food dinner menu once a month to the raw/vegan community - I live in a small town...I was sooo excited to go !! It was a nice restaurant but I wasn't thrilled with the food to be quite honest.First off understand you didn't order ..Everyone got the same thing and in this case the meal was a lasagna but was full of basil (had a basil pistachio pesto) looked very pretty though lol...The appetizer was a cold  soup - wasn't too bad but had mango in it (I am not a fan) the one thing I did like was desert (almost can't go wrong with desert lol) It was a blueberry sorbet that was soooo creamy it was great!! but a shame it served with a star anise syrup (urgh) it was too sweet with that under it - so I ate from the top in order to avoid the syrup..hmmmm I guess my taste for the "gourmet" isn't there lol - I would have rather had a great salad ,a green smoothie or something...Oh well ...maybe its just that I prefer MY un-cooking hahahaha!!!! I think it just seemed that there too much going on in the food - my tastes are simple ..

hmmmm
