nightime with Dara. salad with cinnamon? ;)

[chelojelo]

I've followed your advice about taking time to cut things smaller. I've been doing it for awhile now, and you are right, it's soooo much better.

[Ayselbelle]

I love your videos always and enjoy your break up with your normal routine. You should try hula hooping. That is a fun exercise that definitely breaks up the norm. Try hooping.org for inspiration for what hooping can do to change things up. :)

[DanielManahan]

The problem with figs is that they don't last long on our tree. we eat them too fast!

[tora604]

Is your dog snoring in the background? I can hear a dog. :)

[mariaperiwinkle]

@tora604 lol me too :) hey, are you in 604 area code? i am

[gurugnorm]

My hubs and I have read all but the last book by Jean Auel, watched the movie of Clan of The Cave Bear first to get in the mood. Faboo! All of Anastasia, all of Harry Potter 3 times. AND I read them outloud to my hubs before sleep! Love all your vlogs! XOXO Queen Shelley

[bilko1971]

Good book series is Anastasia the ringing cedars.

[daradubinet]

@bilko1971

thank you!

[guestaccount26]

do you have a video on that thing by the sink? What is that anyways...a fancy water filter?

[daradubinet]

@guestaccount26

a Kangen water filter. yes.

[woollyblue]

groovy chick!

[daradubinet]

@woollyblue

[BeMyVforever]

i loved reading Twilight too! I dont know why people say its bad.. But any way Dara, there's this series called Vampire Academy which was SUPER POPULAR! even though it sounds like a Twlight sell out, i'll guarantee that it is honestly different and is more sophisicated than Twilight. You should check it out!

[daradubinet]

@BeMyVforever

oh my gosh. thank you! i am almost done!

[infiniteMINT]

Great video, Dara. I never would've thought to combine those ingredients, but it all looks delicious. I also loved what you said about switching things up. I look forward to the Joe Cross interview.

[daradubinet]

@infiniteMINT

switch it up for optimal energy, spiritual health and optimism!

it will keep us awake!

[egret99]

Looks yummy. Books: I'm re-reading Harry Potter series, plus I just started an intriguing non-fiction book, The Source Field Investigations which explores scientifically the invisible or hidden field of which everything is a part, and how it's changing and we are all changing. Thanks for this lovely recipe.

[kingskid29223]

I loved the Twilight series as well! I loved it so much in fact, I almost failed the class that I was in at the time lol When you find a new great series let me know :)

[daradubinet]

@kingskid29223

i totally understand. it has thrown off my sleep schedule.

lets keep each other posted. :)

[reducebodyfat]

wonderful video! thank you Dara!

[sacredmirrors1]

LOVE you Dara! You and Dan have regenerated my life and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. A really great series that I recommend is Anastasia and the Ringing Cedars Series by Vladimir Megre.

[SkyWren8]

Hey Dara...Jean Auel`s `Earth`s Children` series is a really good read, if you fancy fiction.

[SoulfulVeg]

As always, your salad looks yummy. Can't wait to see the interview when you post it.

[daradubinet]

@SoulfulVeg

thank you. :)

[PartnerinPossibility]

hi Dara, I'm so glad to be getting to know you through Raw Food Rehab and your YouTube channel. I enjoy your easy, natural way of sharing the joys of raw. Thanks for the inspiration!! Blessings to you

[daradubinet]

@PartnerinPossibility

thank you so much! and more to share! stay tuned ;)

[KathyJAshley]

Hi Dara! I love this salad...it sounded so good I just had to make it for lunch today. The dressing is perfect...a definite add to my recipe collection. You are awesome!

[daradubinet]

@KathyJAshley

i am so glad you like! i did too.

the currants were a fun add too. :)

[surrected4526]

Great recipe. I loved seeing a glimpse of your furry friend, and loved hearing him/her (?) play in the background. (Music to my hears.) Oh, well what can I say, I love raw food, I love dogs, and I love your videos!

~~Peace and continued wellness~~

[surrected4526]

@surrected4526 Book recommendation (if you have not already read it): _Tao Te Ching_ Trans. Richard Wilhelm. It's the kind of book that one reads, then rereads ad infinitum. Another interesting read is _Wherever You Go There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life_ -Jon Kabat-Zinn

[daradubinet]

@surrected4526

thank you so much. i will be making a reading list. :)

[daradubinet]

@surrected4526

hahaha. i filmed the dogs wrestling right after that! maybe i will post. :P peace!

[jaylu0717]

I saw Fat Sick and Nearly Dead. Joe Cross seems like a cool, fun, and approachable guy. I can't wait to see your interview.

[honee72]

can't wait to see the Joe Cross video...loved the movie, buying it to share with others

[pinetree909]

Recommended books (comes from shamanizing on UT) "The Words of My Perfect Teacher". Try a bamboo citrus reamer from Amazon, you get more juice out. Too much sour lemon flavor, I add a little water. Recommend using an unfinished wood or bamboo spoon when stirring salad dressings so you're not consuming metals from your spoon or fork. Like your adventure vids!

[cintronbrandon]

very well said about the excuses people make, very inspiring, we are justifying when we say just if i had this or just if i had that, get it haha, just go for it damn it, good vid, i made my own health channel and its blowing up, you should check it out since we are on the same movement, possibly sub it if you really dig it, maybe ill meet you at one of these festivals one day, 1 LOVE SISTA

[elianne1717]

you reminded me about Spiritual Liberation by Michael Beckwith where he talks about intentionally switching up your routine

[thelifeofawriter]

I can't wait to see the interview. I just recently watched that movie.

[TeaEqualsBliss]

Dara - have you tried Grapeseed Oil? I can send you tons of info on it if you want :)

[g19hoops83]

i dont eat at night time it hard for me to sleep

[faerieXmagic420]

I have persimmon trees in my yard, they have such a unique flavor, and figs grow all over the place around here, theyre awesome!!! I love your videos, that salad sounds awesome, I'm recovering from surgery so I'm not able to exercise much, but I'm eating as healthy as possible, I did go swimming yesterday, in a beautiful clear and freezing cold blue spring..made me feel so alive, I miss my dike and yoga tho....Peace and Love to you!!!

[RosalindandPearls]

yeah for the new DVD being ready ! this salad sounded so yummy :) Just cant wait to hear the interview that you made, this sould be interesting for sure.

Tu prends bien soin de toi ( You are taking good care of yourself ) c'est fantastique, (it is fantastique) *smile*

Bonne journee (good day). Much love to you, Dara. (( hugs ))

[sowseed]

Sooo excited to see your Joe Cross interview!!

[MichaeLightify]

Also all of the Essene Gospel of Peace texts... all which can be read for free with a quick google search...

I began reading these a little while ago, the Urantia book says the Essenes specialized in teachings about angels, and this seems right...

also it gives a strong persuasion from a spiritual perspective as to the value and reasoning of RAW & the non-killing ahimsa vegetarian way of eating...

its amazing they had that consciousness way back then

[MichaeLightify]

I highly suggest the Urantia book... you can read and listen to it free online... its truly an amazing work

[MichaeLightify]

I'm half way though the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordon... its pretty epic

"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again."

[luis04191]

AWESOME!!! GREAT INGREDIENTS SALAD!!! ENJOY!!! WILLING TO CHANGE AND CHANGING ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS SO YOU'RE CORRECT!!! YOU MUST DO IT!!! SALAD IS FANTASTIC!!! I HAVE THREE WKS TO GO YET!!! JUICING!!! :) Love, Peace God bless

[mcarbone4]

I read all the Twilight books as well. So good I read them twice. And I highly recommend the Anastasia books next. Awwwwwwwwwwesome.......life changing!

[swingcrazed]

Oh, I never thought of putting nutritional yeast in my salad dressing! I have some in the fridge, I'll have to try that!

[shiroirobin]

Yum! Delicious recipe to try, love your tips too♥ Thanks Dara, you are my inspiration. Peace! 

[JulieStreet91]

"A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle or "The Ringing Cedars Series" by Vladimir Megré :)

[AnusiaLA]

I chop my salad into super small pieces, and every time my boyfriend says things like- 'hey honey, are you powdering your veggies?', or 'do you want me to close the window? I wouldn't want your salad to get blown away by the wind'

[kelsey11s]

Suggestion: Anastasia and the Ringing Cedar Series :) :)

[monymony2626]

Dara, can you make something with fennel or give me suggestions. I just bought an organic fennel and don't know what to do with it...Also, you're so lucky to be by the beach it's like 80 here in the valley at 12:30am. :(

[scorpiomoonbeam]

Book suggestion: If you haven't already, check out The Hunger Games. It was a great, great book and part of an amazing trilogy.

[samkurz]

Thanks ... The dogs sound like there having a great time.

[potterylady1]

Is there a dog in the room lol? I hear growling hahaha.

[potterylady1]

How do you know the seasons for fruits and veggies? Like...what is the season for apples?

[12caredee21]

@potterylady1 Like September to December, with different months/weeks for different types.

[potterylady1]

@12caredee21 Thank you. But I mean is there a source that tells you when a certain fruit or veggies is in season? This can help in picking the freshest stuff.

[12caredee21]

@potterylady1 Yeah there are a bunch of sources. You can use google to look up specifics becasue there are different varieties of so many types of produce, but just search fruits and vegetable seasons to get the jist of when things grow.

[darealdjnutz]

Have you seen the movie "Once?" It has a theme similar to what you were talking about. Good movie. : )

[slllector]

@daradubinet

I dont think you could say it any better with a different word! Get it on a T-shirt! x

[slllector]

Haha, get your non-routine on! Brilliant, love it ;0)

[daradubinet]

@slllector

;) switch it up!

get your non-routine on. hahaha.

what is the word i was looking for?

[MissRawSweden]

Thanks Dara for the recipe and inspiration.

Do you send your DVD to other countries?

Good night and Sweet dreams.

Kram

[daradubinet]

@MissRawSweden
