This is one of my favorite raw meals- Raw Polenta and Raw Alfredo
The Raw Polenta is from Ani Phyo’s book and is quick and easy. You can use fresh or frozen corn which makes it easy to eat all year long. It’s great with the Mushroom Ragout from Ani’s book as well.
I made this alfredo for the first time by Gena of Choosing Raw and it is amazing!
. Since Neil is heading north to New Brunswick next week we won’t be having vegan Thanksgiving so we enjoyed it yesterday with two of my girlfriends, Monica and Laura. After we shared vegan Thanksgiving we spent the remainder of the afternoon in the kitchen baking cookies from Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar.
Celebration Roast, Cumin Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes and Green Bean Casserole
Already to bake!
We made the Blackstrap Gingersnaps first; I received a sample NuNuaturals NuStevia Baking Blend and we decided to try it out with these cookies instead of sugar.
Yeah! Gingersnaps!
Look mom greasy hands!
City Girl Snickerdoodles
Peanut Butter Chocolate Pillows
All of these cookies enjoyed with a nice cup of Boulevards Organics Dairy-Free Hot Chocolate
We also made some Lazy Samoas (not photographed) which were delicious and just like the caramel delights I enjoyed as a girl scout. The girls and I really loved this cookbook and found that all the recipes were fun and yet easy. A few things we really loved were that all the cookies were baked at 350F and that all took 8min to 12min which was great especially when baking 4 different kinds. I really loved all the cookies I have to say it’s a toss up between the Chocolate PB and the Snickerdoodles for my favorite.
At the beginning of the week I was reading Sarah’s blog from SeeSarahEat and was inspired by her post on Green Monsters. Now I had very little knowledge as to what exactly this at first but after some searching I found the Green Monsters Movement website .
This morning I made hubby and I our own Green Monsters:
Recipe (almost raw):
1 cup oat milk
1 T Sun Warrior Vanilla Protein Powder
1 sliced frozen banana
3 cups spinach
Place in a blender. Blend until smooth.
I know it seems lately that I have been lacking in the food/recipe post and I am sorry! I have been working on recipes from a number of cookbooks as well as testing recipes for Happy Herbivore’s upcoming cookbook. I will be posting some more cookbook reviews including pictures of various dishes and well be having 2 cookbook giveaways – one of them a raw recipe book! So look for these in the upcoming weeks.
This Thanksgiving rather than eating a turkey why not adopt one? You can do so through Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey Project.
We adopted Gideon!
