1. Gabrielle commented that she waits on adding raw agave to tea for making Kombucha until after the tea has boiled and cooled. Reading this was totally a ‘duh’ moment for me. Why boil expensive raw sweeteners?
2. For our weekend potluck with friends (very fun and delicious), I made my dark chocolate walnut brownies, only this time I used raw, virgin coconut oil in place of the applesauce. Kind of ironic to add more fat to a dish, but there it is. I have been reading such good things about coconut oil and how good and beneficial it is. I thought it might improve the brownies, too. Not that they needed it. But even as good as they already were, they’re super-duper now! I made two pans and that is great because we still have some around for after-dinner dessert! Just writing about them, I’m salivating and wanting to go cut a piece off for my breakfast. 
(Flour used: sprouted kamut flour.)
3. I’m still making bread on regular basis, using sprouted grains and the easy artisan method. But I’m convinced now that of the whole-grain sprouted flours, spelt makes the best bread. It isn’t dense, but rather chewy, light and offers a really wonderful, salty flavor. I also sprout kamut and emmer for flour, but I use those flours in cookies, cakes, muffins and brownies. The kamut especially, being so nutty, makes a wonderful sweet bread flour.

I have recently been told (by a reliable source) that it is better to eat meat for breakfast or lunch instead of dinner. The point in that being–it takes 10-12 hours for meat to digest. So by eating a large portion of meat at dinner, it just sits there all night, and your body does not get the rest it needs.
I have tried this for myself (for about 1 1/2 weeks) and have found that infact, I do feel more rested in the morning, when not eating meat for dinner.
This is just something to think about.
That’s very interesting, Tiffany. I believe I am doing something simliar. I find that I am not very hungry come dinnertime. So about 75% of the time, I will eat a big salad for dinner (greens, sprouts, goat cheese, etc.) and no main dish. It is very satisfying, I don’t feel stuffed and I’m not starving in the morning, so I think it must be what my body needs. I have not paid attention to whether I rest better or not, though. I’ll pay attention to that. Thank you for sharing what you’ve recently learned/are trying. I love it that we can all learn from each other.
