Hey friends,

We are happy to see that everyone likes the green smoothies to-go cups! We have been using ours all the time now! We still love our mason jars, but when we are on the go this our perfect. : )

We have been enjoying a lot of yummy salads this past week.

Heavenly! We seriously love our salads!

Since I have limited resources (including a knife and a blender), Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen seems like it could be right up my alley.

Thank for the great giveaway. I’ve already been following you on Twitter, but added your bakery. Too bad I am so far away. Maybe I’ll get a chance to stop in on the way to Asheville this summer!

Salads rock and I love the wonderful variations you posted.

Yay, a giveaway! I’d love to win Rawvolution — it’s one of the two that I don’t have already on that list.

And those salads look totally awesome. My standby salad is kale, massaged with avocado, plus any other veggies I have on hand in the kitchen. Lately I’ve been adding sauerkraut and it has been fabulous. Capers are another of my favourite add-ons.

I can’t wait to see what kind of ice cream cake you ladies come up with. I’m still trying to decide what flavour combinations to test out, but I’ll probably get down to work on it next weekend.

I LOVE salads, seriously love them. My fave salads are ones i just chuck together with whatever leftovers are hanging around. I love to use roasted sweet potatoes as toppers instead of croutons :)

Umm….spinach+beets+kraut??? OH MY GOSH drooooolll. That sounds like just about the most divine combo ever. I’m going to go yell at my sauerkraut and tell it to ferment faster already. I think I need this salad. You girls are genius!

Out of all those cookbooks, I think the one I’m most drawn to is Raw Food Real World (I’ve picked it up and put it down in the bookstore a hundred times, not being able to “justify” buying it).

i love salads! i go through phases where i like them kinda plain (just oil and lemon juice or vinegar) and then some where i want them fancier. just sort of depends.

i am the raw food geek that already owns all those books but i’d love to enter for ani’s raw food kitchen because i know someone who wants a copy of it.
