Sprouted seeds and beans (not for sprouting but ARE sprouted)
Cacao
Spiriluna
Wheatgrass
And basically pretty much anything for a raw food diet.
But I'm especially interested in SPROUTED products since it seems like it would be a lot of work to do it yourself and a lot of recipes ask for it.
ThanksAre there any health shops in Melbourne Australia where you can buy:?
Try the Melbourne walmart. They have everything.

Campers: What type of camp meals do you have when tent camping for about a week?
We鈥檙e a family of 3 %26amp; we鈥檙e going on a longer trip this time, %26amp; restaurants are far %26amp; few between. How do you manage meals %26amp; what type of food do you bring? Do you precook foods at home, bring them raw %26amp; cook them at camp, or frequent local grocery stores? Do you tend to eat a lot of canned food? Peanut butter sandwiches? Just looking for easy ideas %26amp; non-complicated recipes as space is at a premium w/ all the junk we have!!!Campers: What type of camp meals do you have when tent camping for about a week?
Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches work fine for lunch, but if you're gone for a week, don't make them part of the dinner routine.
I would recommend that you pre-measure and prep before the trip as much as possible. Segregate stuff into zip-lock baggies and then just dump and mix once you are at the camp site. It makes life so much easier when you are trying to prepare the meal if you don't have to spend time cutting vegetables, measuring flour, spices, etc. Some recipes that work well include stews and cobblers. Don't be afraid to have a night roasting hot dogs. Do some searches for "Boy Scout Meals" to get some ideas.
Bring powdered drink mix like Tang, Lemonade, or Kool-Aid (leave the sugar free and low-calorie stuff like Crystal Lite at home as you and the kids will need the extra calories) to have with breakfast and lunch. Hot Cocoa works well for dinner.Campers: What type of camp meals do you have when tent camping for about a week?
Pork and Beans, s'mores, eggs, bacon, stuff like that. Sometimes we bring a cooler with meat and some bread. Then we make sandwhiches. Peanut butter sandwiches are good too! Canned stuff usually works...
It usually goes something like this for me. First is the raw meat %26amp; fresh vegetables stored in a cooler cooked over fire. This will last a few days. Precooked Hot dogs/sausage/bacon will last longer in the cooler than raw meat. Then it's into either Mountain House meals or canned goods. The newer coolers like the Colman Marine Cooler are better at keeping food colder longer than Walmart special coolers. Peanut butter is always a great go to food with a loaf of bread.Campers: What type of camp meals do you have when tent camping for about a week?
Go to recipegoldmine.com and click on camping/hiking on the left. They have great recipes.
All the meets I take are raw and frozen solid when I put it in the food cooler. As long as you keep ice on it your meet will be fine. Some things I like to take are Hot dogs, Hamburgers, Skinless Boneless chicken breasts, Sausage, bacon, eggs, Marshmallows, cereal, Granola bars, Pancake mix, potatoes, corn on the cob, stuff for mountain pie makers, Lunch meats and cheese, bread, and Ravioli's.
They make beef in a special package you can find at stores like Bass pro shops that does not need to be stored cold. You can use dehydrated food as well. Mountain house food is expensive but has a great variety, and it only requires you to make some water hot and read directions. The advantage of the dehydrated food is you only need to provide water, which is part of the planning process anyway for longer camping. If you must use canned food, then eat that meal first and crush the can flat. that will reduce the weight in the pack quickly, and reduce the amount of space it will take up as trash.
The Boy Scout troop I was an adult leader with spent a week in the Porcupine Mountains and carried with us enough food for all 10 people. the water we pulled from local streams using katydyne water filters. The packs weighed in at about 60 pounds apiece on day one and decreased each day as we went through our food stocks.Campers: What type of camp meals do you have when tent camping for about a week?
It depends on what kind of cookware you have as well as the type of cooler. If you have one of the newer coolers that can keep ice for extended periods of time, bringing along meat will not be a problem. Mixing everything together before hand is a great idea, else you might be doing it free handed (i've made some pretty good meals free handed, but with kids i wouldn't take the risk). Hot dogs are a classic. shove them on a stick, roast them over the fire, slap it on a bun with ketchup and mustard and you have a meal. Peanut butter and jelly are always good for these camping trips for a quick lunch or maybe a snack.
here is a good recipe for something called silver turtles

Don't be afraid be bring canned foods because they won't spoil.
If you have a dutch oven you can make just about anything!
You can cook anything you want. I usually try to eat slightly better than I do at home. Makes camping special. Hot dogs and smores are staples but not necessary. I take pork chops and put them in a zip lock bag and add a cup of italian dressing and there you have marinated pork chops and they tast great! You can prebake potatoes also. and warm them on the grill or in the fire. If you are car camping the sky is the limit. If you are backpacking in you are going to want to go light. That is your only limiting factor. Don't go real cheap and easy because it lowers the experience. I like light lunches (salads, sandwiches), exciting dinners (steak, pork chops, beer can chicken) . All of this stuff is real easy and tastes great. Again this is car camping stuff. Have fun!
I try and prepare all that I can at home before we leave. Like washing veggies and even tin foiling potatoes. I also freeze all meats before leaving. I freeze 2 liter bottles with water and place them in my cooler. They last longer than anything else I have tried. We eat some canned foods and PB%26amp;J but I usually stick to the same foods each time. I recommend checking out: www.outdoorbug.com/all-about-camping
It is a site that has checklist as well as other great camping tips. Camping is the best!! Have fun!!
one pot meals work well look at hamburger helper and the markets have lots of precooked meals now days pot roast chili ETC also making some favorites from home and freezing them works especially Pasta but jar or canned works too.

Commercial dog food alternative?
I am just about to give up on store bought dog foods. But the alternative is very overwhelming to me. My husband is a soldier and we move around a lot and I cant find the same good bought food everywhere we go. And I now live in very small towns without many dog food choices. After the research I have done, I want to get my 6lb yorkie off of the store bought food. I dont know what to feed him though. Even now, we give him cooked ground beef, turkey, and even a few fruits and veggies (only the ones safe for my pup of course) in addition to his dog food - which is Nutro Ultra by the way. I really want to hear from pet owners that are feeding their dog a "raw diet" (I have no idea if that's even the right term for fresh food). Even if I was to start out feeding my pup fresh foods in addition to his dog food, how would I know he is getting the right nutrition?
Please answer if you are feeding your dog fresh food and have some recipes that you are already feeding your dog.
Thanks!!Commercial dog food alternative?
I know you said not to cite any websites, but have you looked at any bookstores? Even looked online for books? I have been feeding my GSDs a raw diet for about three years now. It seemed like I couldnt find much online either. But I have about a dozen books and recipe books that I used. It was a little bit overwhelming when I started the new diet, but once you get the hang of it, it's really not that bad or complicated. I was also concerned about the nutrition content and how my dogs would get everything they needed, but one of the books (I will go write all of the names down and email you them in a minute) had basically step by step instructions and what suppliments to give them and even at what times of the day.
The thing I really like about the raw diet is that you KNOW 100% that everything you are feeding your babies is for human consumption and you dont have to worry about recalls and the crap that dog food companies use as fillers. I always laugh now when I read that a dog food is made from food that is for human consumption... bc there is NO way I would be eating it!!
I think you will enjoy the new diet for your dog.... just about as much as you baby will!!Commercial dog food alternative?
Check out rawfed.com . A raw diet of of meaty bones and organs is the best thing you can give your dog and it's available anywhere where there's a supermarket or butcher.

Sorry, just saw your added details. I still recommend that site. It's the site that I used to learn all about raw feeding and I can't recommend it highly enough.
At time we just feed our dogs a whole carcass, depending on their size.
A whole cornish game hen, for instance, inclusive of all innards like liver, heart, kidney, etc and bones is a complete meal in itself. It's small enough so our miniature pinscher can work on it the whole day through. Sometimes we remove the liver because it's not necessary or even good for a dog to receive so much iron, but other than that, it's pretty simple.
A dog cannot thrive only on "meat" - it really does need the raw bones for calcium, the innards for vitamins and minerals, the offal for extra little bits of digested vegetable matter, and of course, meat, for protein.
From my experience, I would never feed my dogs kibble alongside raw food. The rates of digestion are different. If we feed kibble (if ever), we make sure that the kibble in itself is 1 meal, and the raw food is another. When we do feed kibble (very rarely - nowadays if we don't have time we feed them commercial raw frozen from Nature's Variety), we make sure to leave a 5 hour gap between processed kibble and the raw food. Otherwise, they might get digestion issues.Commercial dog food alternative?
If you want to stick with dog food, I'll give you the same advice I give everyone, try Orijen!! It's a little more expensive but it is worth it. It has 70% meat products, 30% veggies, and no grain. It's the way they are SUPPOSE to eat, without fillers. I HIGHLY reccommend this brand. It received 6 stars out of the possible 6 stars when rated on this website. You can order it online from this website (http://www.k9cuisine.com/showproduct.asp鈥?/a> let me know if that link doesn't work.
I've been feeding my dogs fresh, home-made food (including raw meat) for something like 7 - 8 months now and they're thriving on it. I got started by reading a book in my vet's office called "Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats".
It's got a lot of recipes as well as all the additives your dog needs and what each one does.
Feeding fresh is great for the dogs but I learned from this book and my vets that you can't just throw things together. They need a balanced diet and if you're cooking for them, your responsible for making sure they get it. If you want to feed your yorkie fresh, this book is a great investment. (And you really need it as a continuing reference.)Commercial dog food alternative?
You are on the right track in wanting to feed your dog raw. This is by far the healthiest way to feed. Dogs are carnivores and need raw meat and bones. And the great news for you is that it doesn't matter where you live. Raw meat, such as chicken, turkey, beef, fish, rabbit, etc is available anywhere at any grocery store or butcher shop.
At Bella Rosa Cane Corsos, we teach people how to feed raw and cook for their dogs. You will find a variety of articles on our website, beginning with a very interesting article entitled: "What's In That Bag?" which talks about kibble vs. raw feeding. I think you'll find it very illuminating.
http://bellarosacanecorsos.com/articles/articleslist.html
Traveling with a raw fed dog is easy too - just throw some mackerel, chicken legs or beef ribs into a zip lock bag, and toss it into your cooler. Then feed your dog at the rest area when you take your own break. It really couldn't be easier, and the health benefits are wonderful!
Hope this helps!

Creative Recipes??
I have a slight allergy to uncooked fruits and vegitables. They make my throat and ears itchs, my tongue swell and sometimes I present with a rash. I have asked my doctor what it is but he says he would have to run extensive tests, and I dont find it worth it. Instead I stay away from those foods that make me sick. Anyhow. I am starting a diet with my husband, or rather getting back on the diet, but we are getting bored of eating the same thing all the time. I am looking for creative recipes to spice up our daily menu. Our diet is currently consisting of fruits and veggies, and white meats. We are cutting bad carbs (like white taters and breads) down to a minimum, but we are far from atkins. Remember I CAN eat cooked fruits and veggies. But not so many raw ones. I am alright with grapes and bananas, but not apples and pears when raw. It seems complicated. But I would really like to see what you guys come up with! Other than my food allergies, we are far from picky eaters! Thanks alot!Creative Recipes??
Roast asparagus drizzled in olive oil, salt and pepper in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. When it comes out, squeeze some lemon juice on top. Yum!!! (also you can sprinkle some parm cheese)
Another is to take chicken breasts and put in a casserole dish. Top with a jar of spaghetti sauce and mozzerella cheese. Serve over Barilla Plus pasta (it is made with whole grains, and has a TON of nutrition, better than regular pasta). Serve with a salad, or steamed broccoli tossed with lemon juice and butter spray.Creative Recipes??
This is a great time to grill veggies, just dress them with olive oil, garlic ppowder and salt %26amp; pepper. I've used squash, zucchini, eggplant, portabello mushroosm and peppers.Creative Recipes??
Please remember that a potatoe has as many vitamins as an apple. It is the dressings that add calories and harm. A baked potato with broccoli and cheeze or mixed veggies is a great meal loaded with vitamins and minerals. Bread is also a necceasary component. It is not called the staff of life for nothing. Grain (especially whole grain) is essential for digestion. Try whole grain breads-minus the fats like butter.
Bagels are low in fat but nutritious and can be loaded with pureed fruit that has been prepared with little or no sugar and cheeses or even mini pizza type meals. Low fat meats can be made into chili, ground turkey is great for this and seasoned properly few people can tell the differnce. You can check out a diabetic cook book for low fat low sugar ideas for good food without the guilt. I hope this helps Also as for the raw fruits and veggie trouble try steaming them for a short time to help with the allergic reaction. A little seasoning during the process will add some zing to the flavor and you can combine two or three for combosmymathlab login

My 10 month old and food allergies!
Is very allergic to milk and milk/dairy products. He has severe eczema and can't have anything with milk products or he breaks out in a horrible, severe rash that he can't stop scratching at. He was put on Alimentum and it hasn't done any good..my aunt, who is also lactose intolerant, was reading the ingredients and said that there is milk based products in the Alimentum. So I took him off of formula completely (He will be 11 months this month-Aug.) and put him on Rice milk and his skin has already started clearing up!! My question is--Does anyone have a recipe for homemade Rice milk that is more catered to babies or will any Rice milk recipe do? I have found a few good recipes but wasn't sure if babies needed added ingredients. He is also eating homemade food..meaning I buy raw fruits and veggies and cook them etc. because the baby food also has added stuff that he is allergic to. Thanks so much for all of your help!My 10 month old and food allergies!
This can indeed relate to your little ones allergies.
The information below is often overlooked or missed by both patients and physicians.
This is the best Allergy info.
Being a nurse with over 25 years experience, I have seen a lot of patients with similar illnesses and disorders.
Many Allergy and Asthma problems are caused from common everyday chemicals and fragranced products as well as VOC's in homes, schools and workplace.
This is a growing problem for many people and most are not even aware that it exists as more and more chemicals are being introduced and used on a daily basis.
Many people believe that because a product smells good or cleans well and it is on a store shelf that it is tested, approved and safe for use.
Think again !
We are now seeing more and more children and adults with skin disorders, nausea, Allergies, Headaches, Sinusitis, Migraines, Asthma, Chronic Hives, Eczema, sinus / respiratory illnesses and Hormone related disorders.
I can not emphasize how important it is to educate yourself about the harm you may be doing to your health by using chemicals and fragranced products.
Most doctors will not inform you about this because patients as a whole like to walk out of a doctors office with a prescription for some magical medicine and they do not want to be told that their expensive new perfume or newly installed carpet or fresh house paint may be the culprit. Also, many patients do not want to change their lifestyle to accommodate their new illness. Infact, I have even witnessed patients who increase or take multiple medications for their allergy or asthma just so that they can continue to wear their perfume or use Bounce or Febreeze. The doctor will give patients medications even though often times these meds do not eliminate the problem or often times cause other health problems because they are an added chemical in the body.
Chemicals and fragranced products are often the root of many disorders and illnesses when it comes to your health. Many of the below mentioned items are common triggers to sinus, asthma, itching, headaches, Migraines and allergy problems amongst other health issues. Get rid of them and your immune and respiratory system will thank you and you will breathe easier.
And, it is not only personal body or cleaning products causing havoc on your health鈥?many people become ill after wearing brand new clothing, dry-cleaned clothes, installing new carpet, painting, buying a new mattress or after home renovations because of the Flame Retardants, Antimony, Benzenes, Formaldehydes, etc. used in these products. So the answer is NO, you are not imagining that 2 weeks after your home, office or classroom got renovated you started to become ill, get dizzy or have headaches. This is happening more and more these days and adults as well as children are becoming sicker and sicker.
Unfortunately, too many doctors compound the problem by prescribing chemical medications to try to alleviate the symptoms of an already chemical overloaded body and they rarely tell the patient to eliminate the chemical offenders. How many times have I seen people in the grocery store with Bounce, Glade Plug-Ins and Febreeze in their shopping cart along with a bottle of Benadryl , Migraine Excedrin and a box of Allergy Tablets ? Why don't they make the connection?
Keep in mind that your skin is the largest organ of your body and what you put on your skin gets absorbed into your body. Then ... well... then it has to be filtered by your organs which are already working real hard.
BIG NO-NO's ---- I would SERIOUSLY recommend removing all of the below from your living / working area.
No Bounce or dryer sheets - these are VERY toxic
No Febreeze - your pets will even thank you for this
No Glade Plug-ins - VERY toxic
No drinking of Unfiltered tap water
No Scented candles
No Scented Dish Detergents
No Fragranced Products on Body, Hair or Clothing
No Smoke
No Newspapers and Magazines - The ink is a huge irritant.
No Dander
No Sprays
No Sharpies (marker pens)
New Cartpeting, mattresses, paint, contain toxins that can trigger severe respiratory disorders as well as headaches and Asthma flare-ups.
And remember, it is NOT the smell it is the Chemicals that make up the smell. So, even if something is "Fragrance Free" these products often mask the smell with another chemical ! There are plenty of safe healthy products out there that work well and do not have added chemical fragrances.
More and more workplaces %26amp; schools are implementing Fragrance Free policies and creating "Fragrance Free Zones"鈥?why do you think this is? Make the connection, your lungs , immune system and your general health will thank you.My 10 month old and food allergies!
I don't have an answer for you, but just wanted to sympathize. My son also has severe food allergies and eczema. Be on the look out for asthma too because all of these things seem to go hand in hand. On the happy side, my son is almost 12 and is learning to cope with all of his allergies. Some have gone away, others have gotten worse, but he is a regular little guy. Sounds to me like you are doing all the right things. There are some really good food allergy websites and organizations you may want to look into.My 10 month old and food allergies!
A baby should be on breast milk or formula until 12 months old. Have you ever tried soy formula? It should be non-dairy.
Your son is not lactose intolerant; he is allergic to milk.My 10 month old and food allergies!
I dont know if you will understand but I have to tell you this,
The only animal who drink milk from others animals are us.
Milk is made by nature on cows specially to feed an animal, her baby cow, NOT humans, by tradition we are tought to do this and that, unfortunately most of the traditions are wrong, thats is why USA is one of the sickest nations on the world .
Humans dont have the appropiate enzymes to digest cow milk, imagine giving a new born baby cow milk, his organism is not ready for this kind of food, milkl create mucous causing catharral conditiions on the respiratory systemf, sometimes diarrhea leaving his colon without friendly bacteria, then infections arise on the baby, skin problems, ear infections, fevers and so on.

How do I make avocado baby food?
I bought an avocado but have never prepared one before. It was soft to the touch (all around) but not too soft. I peeled it and took the pit out. I used the Baby Bullet to make the baby food. The recipe was vague and didn't say much. I made it raw and did not cook it. When I was cutting it up to put into the blender it felt like the consistency of butter.
I tasted it and it really didn't taste good, it literally tasted like I made butter. My daughter didn't like it at all either.
Did I make it correctly, or did I do something wrong. How do you make your baby food with avocado?
Thanks in advance.How do I make avocado baby food?
You made it correctly. You don't need to do anything to it... just blend it. It is possible that it wasn't ripe enough. It mixes easier when it is mushier.
Maybe your daughter doesn't like it? But you made it correctly.How do I make avocado baby food?
I've never heard of avocado baby food but it's basically guacamole without all the added stuff like tomatoes and onions. If it were me, I would have added some salt and pepper and a little garlic and a splash of lemon juice. But I don't know how old your baby is and how she'd deal with garlic so you might want to test it.How do I make avocado baby food?
Avocado is so soft naturally I used to just give it to my son in slices. He really enjoyed it and it was good practice for table foods. I could see how blending it would make it taste odd, it really needs some kind of texture. You might try just mashing it with a fork next time. Also avocado is one of those "you like or you don't" foods, so she may just not like it...How do I make avocado baby food?
I mashed a good soft one with a fork till smooth and my baby didn't like it. So I "gave" it to myself and put salt, garlic powder, pepper and lime juice in it. I let her taste it and she loved it.
In general, babies don't have complex taste pallets like we do, so things that taste bland to us are fine for babies. If she didn't like it, it's probably because it was a new food for her, not for any other more complicated reason. It can take 20-30 tries before a baby will learn to like a new food, so keep offering it. If you buy a very soft, ripe avocado, you can simply mash it with a fork and feed it to the baby, or cut it into very small pieces and let her gum it herself.
