Oooh. This sounds like a great idea. I've just googled raw cocoa

beans and found lots of places to order from. Let me know what you

find and if you find a supplier you really like and trust, please pass

the info. on.

Thanks,

Well, I did a little looking on the BTVC site and the old Elaine's

children site and cocoa or chocolate are not allowed in any form.

Not so much that it feeds the bugs as much as that it had not been

analyzed properly and can affect you badly in other ways and the

original Dr Haas said it was not allowed.

But, thanks for sharing the idea anyway!

Thanks Jody, Carolyn and for the 14 date cake idea and tips. I

will definitely try this one out too.

Anxious for my nut flours to come in so I can have some fun in the

kitchen!

I am finding that the foods on this diet taste really good!

Much better than I expected so far, kicking myself for taking my son

off of this diet last summer just because of a silly IgG test that

didn't prove accurate or worth the money.
