My friend Kate Bush....Boston Mass.

Hi Stacy!
I just wanted to tell you how awesome it was to have you at our house. Since you left, I have made onion bread, nachos, pizza, corn salad, pesto, Stacy salad with dulse and of course truffles (more than once)! We have been happily eating raw and feeling good. My friends are still talking about our party, the one where you did all the work and we had so much fun. I am on my way to Greece now. The show I was in the day you left was written up in the New York Times last Wednesday with a picture of my FP outfit. Hope all is well with you. Keep in touch. Kate

Evanston Illinois....my dear friend Kathy

Kathy took me to my very first Raw Food restaurant in April of 2007. I refused to eat...."I'll just have the lemon water"



"My dear friend Stacy is an inspiration. When I met Stacy she was having a problem with feeling tired all the time. When she discovered the benefits of eating raw she could not be stopped. She is living proof of the benefits of the raw food lifestyle and truly a joyful person to be around. I love her creativity and the wonderful recipes she has come up with that show everyone how much fun it can be to live and to eat raw foods. The HappyShake taste great and is the way to start the day. You will learn and love the process of learning how to feel your absolute best." Kathy Lynch


Thank you Kathy for YOUR inspiratin and this beautiful gift I get to share with all!!! love S

Stacy - it was so great to have you at our house last week; even though we made our Happy Shake this morning, we nonetheless, missed you. Thanks for the great introduction to the Raw life. Come back soon!

After Stacy stayed with us, we wanted her to move in permenantly. It's always interesting opening your house and kitchen up to someone fully but Stacy made it so easy. She is respectful, inspirational, fun, great with kids, and really good at what she does. We are not actually a completely raw family, but Stacy was never pushy and made raw food fun. She made us smoothies every morning, elaborate meals like raw lasagna, and delicious raw desserts. She's always open for guests to share with. Conversation is easy and food is at it's best when she is around. Having her in our home was truely a life changing experience, we made a friend for life, and we look forward to having her back again.

Turquoise Barn....an awesome Raw Vegan/Vegetarian B&B!!!

Stacy stayed with us for 3 weeks here at Turquoise Barn. It was great. She is very upbeat, positive and full of energy, very adaptable, and was able to be flexible in our often hectic household; helping out with whatever task needed to be done in addition to all the wonderful food prep she did. I was able to focus on backed up projects and not have to worry at all about the food . She was even able to come up with a recipe (road-kill yummy) for my 9 year old. It was a great experience for our family and we hope to have her back again.

Avolon Beach New Jersey....Greenleaf family

Our family had the pleasure of having Stacy join us for our yearly vacation at the beach in Avalon, New Jersey. Stacy introduced us to an array of incredible raw foods.We began our morning with Happy Shakes, served elegantly in a wine goblet. We were treated to heavenly desserts, a key lime pie(my favorite), a pineapple pie and Cashew Nut Tassies.Stacy also made a wonderful salsa that had a little bite to it. The salads she made were outstanding and creative. Our last night Stacy cleaned out the refrigerator and made a delicious salad out of left overs.
In addition to her cooking talents, Stacy has the ability to blend in with a family. She is friendly, kind and wonderful with children.She is energetic and eager to please..She was present,but never in the way. We will always remember our fun-filled week with Stacy and hopefully change our eating habits to include more raw foods in our diets.

Jason H....Phoenix Arizona. Take his challenge!

When I first heard of raw food, I'll be honest. I didn't care for it at all. I enjoyed a good steak, and love fish. Always been a meat and potatoes type of guy with a good glass of red wine. So meeting Stacy I was interested in what makes her so HAPPY. I have always been interested in health. Before I met Stacy I did a lot of research and found out what dairy does to adults. What a microwave does to food lol. I have been into exercise but after a very bad foot injury gained about 30 lbs. For somehow I tried to lose the extra weight and after a year, it was hard going back to the gym. I just didn't have the energy. So I was opened how raw foods could work for me. After realizing that our body does not crave fats and calories but nutrients. I thought trying it for a week wouldn't hurt and plus I can see if this works for me. So I tried it for a week, happy shake and all. I have to be honest, I enjoyed waking up in the morning just for the Happy Shake lol. About 5 days into it, I saw a difference. I woke up earlier and one morning I woke too early. Stacy was still sleeping and didn't want to wake her up. So I went out with it. Well after that day I was like I don't care if she is still sleeping, I will wake her up next time. That's all I'm going to say lol. But It took sometime after Stacy left to get in a routine that worked out for me. Truthfully it is hard when you are hungry and need to pick something up. But you have to prepare your food ahead of time. The Happy Shake is easy in the morning. But thinking of something for lunch. For dinner I will steam artichokes and mix that with avocados. Then with mushrooms, then dehydrate chips. Or I'll do a salad with sprouts and veggies. But more of all It helped me to lose the weight I was spending money and diet pills and protein shakes. So far I have lost 15 lbs in 2 months just eating raw. Now I will have a glass of red wine or I'll pop real pop corn with olive oil from time to time. But that's it, well I will grind up to make coffee at times. I have to say I am about 80-90% raw and now have the energy that I did not have before. In about 2 months I will be back where I was over 1 1/2 ago. My chiropractor has told me he saw a huge difference in me. I was not blooded and was not in pretty good shape. So I told him what I have been doing. He thought that was very smart and said that his son works for ford modeling In Los Angeles and all the top models are on raw food. I was really happy knowing I finally made the right choice. The best part is being creative. Everyday is different and I enjoy going to shop for good quality raw food. Plus it is really cool saying I'm a raw foodist lol. There is a saying "tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are", that's so true! We are killing ourselves with what we eat and don't even know it. So take the 1 week challenge and prove me wrong that it will change how you feel and live daily. I dare ya, and after you follow the program or just use the Happy Shake. You will feel and be happier and healthier. Jason H.

Hi Stacy,

I just wanted to let you know that I just improvised my first raw food reciepe and it turned out great! I'm eating at work right now. I'm not totally raw yet but I am walking along the path. I have been drinking my maca and my greens every morning for about 3 weeks now I am really starting to feel some of my energy return. It's good news. Thanks for being one of my inspirational nudges.
