 | Raw Food Made Easy For 1 or 2 People by Jennifer Cornbleet
Buy new: $12.08 / Used from: $9.34 Since I am the only one changing their lifestyle - the kids get the benefits by proxy, I needed a recipe book that did not create too many servings. I am only home on the weekends so I cannot even try to refrigerate left overs.

Buy used from: $7.04 This is a great reference book. It has more natural, whole foods recipes than dehydrator and vita-mix recipes. I remember this book being on the shelf eons ago and never gave it a second look. After a revision it is simply the best no non-sense type of tome that should be on every raw foodist's book shelf.

 | Navitas Naturals Chia Seeds Aztec Superfood, 16 Ounce Pouch
Buy new: $9.69 Chia is hard to initially eat. First of all, you have to get the Scooby Doo Chia Pet image out of your head. Secondly, you have to understand that even though chia starts out as a dry seed, it ends up tasting like mini-tapioca pearls. In fact, some books use chia seeds to make a raw bubble tea. This is by far a staple in my raw diet, jelly-ness and all.
