Vita-Mix + ice cream = happeh. I have to try that recipe, anything that I can try to satisfy my raging sweet tooth on is a good thing.

Ooh, I have access to a VitaMix now & I want to make this!

Wow, I didn’t know that about you (being refined-sugar free, that is). I’ll have to pick your brain about that

Currently I don’t have a theme. Food-wise, everything is included (savories, sweets). I really am open to anything right now, and maybe I’ll fine-tune it down the road.

I’m definitely planning on raw recipes in there, some of which will be “accidentally raw,” like dressings and such.

I’m not too too strict on the sugar, so I am allowing myself agave every now and then. Actually, I’ve only had it once this month! Basically, granulated sugar/evaporated cane juice-type things are on my no-no list. Maple syrup is okay by me, too.

Whenever you can manage to afford one, get a Vita-mix. Seriously, it will change your life!

Yes, back on my feet! Thanks for asking… I guess I didn’t really mention that eh?

You can do it! I have been refined sugar free for nearly 4 years now…it really isn’t that hard once you get the hang of it (reading ingredients lists is a must…even on things like canned tomatoes!). Fresh/dried fruit makes a great dessert, as you know and your blog post illustrates so well

As for the zine, are you going to have a theme or anything for it? Or are you really open to anything?

Glad you are feeling better!

Oh yum! I’ve made Gena’s, but didn’t even think of adding extra fruit. I’m sure that would be delicious.

As for zine ideas, I’d love to see some of your raw recipes included in the next one. You make such lovely raw creations!

Good luck on the sugar thing! I was eating a cookie while reading that and feeling a bit guilty! Just curiously, does agave count during your challenge? What about evaporated cane juice or turbinado?

I’ve tasted fruit-only ice cream made in a VitaMix and it’s pretty amazing. I’ve also been making the frozen fruit-in-a-food processor kind for years and it’s really good, too, though more like sorbet than ice cream. I’ll look at Gena’s. I used to add some frozen orange juice concentrate to the processor mix, and that worked really well, but I wish I had a VitaMIx!

My Amazon cart is bursting with new vegan cookbooks, and I wish I could buy them all, but like you, am using restraint and budget as a guide. There are so many!
