Some of you may be wondering what SCORE, Carol Alt, raw foods and Lisa Montgomery have in common.... especially when up until May of this year I never even had heard of SCORE  until a friend of mine suggested I contact my local SCORE.

I heeded my friend's advice, went online, read about SCORE, found my local office in Pottstown, called, and set up my first appointment, on May 16th , 2007- ironically, with Mr. Henry Pollock. 

Because many people had asked, I prepared my bio for the first anniversary (Jan/07) of my raw potlucks.

This is what led me to start the potlucks and eat 99 percent raw... My food allergies and Candida led me to change my diet about eleven years ago.  I went home and threw out or gave away all my packaged foods and anything that I was allergic to or could not eat because of Candida.   That throwing out would be the first time of many "cleansings"" of my refrigerator and cupboards... After the initial, overwhelming feeling of "what can I eat?" .  I started reading everything in sight on health and nutrition and taking numerous cooking classes... I then moved on in my eating journey to macrobiotic within my allergy limitations, to becoming a vegetarian and then about five years ago I started my raw journey.  The progression really just happened.  I didn't decide one day "oh I am now going to go macrobiotic"...it just evolved.
