Living Rawesome Day #124 Crust for Pumpkin Pie pg. 118 everyday raw
November 26, 2009
Happy Thanksgiving! Today was a relaxing day filled with love, family and food (My 3 favorite things). Cathy came over today and made her first raw vegan meal. She found the recipe online. The recipe was parsnip and pine nut “potatoes”. She came over here to make them because she didn’t have the equipment to make it at home. She peeled the parsnips and I chopped them up and placed them into the Vita-mix. Then she added water, pine nuts that were soaked, garlic, and braggs liquid aminos. The recipe turned out delicious. I think it’s great she is looking into raw food. I know what it has done for me, so it will be awesome to see if she continues to delve into the raw living food world.
Christian made gravy to go with his Tofurkey today. He was looking at the package and asked if he could make the gravy. Of course I encourage him to make recipes whenever he asks. He got everything ready and it came out wonderful. I am proud of him.
For the Thanksgiving meal I made the stuffing that D’Adjoa brought to the potluck last Tuesday. It turned out yummy of course. I still have some left so I am sure we will eat some at the Gathering on Saturday. It reminds me of chicken salad or tuna salad.
I decided to make the crust for the pie I am making for the Thanksliving dinner we are having on Saturday. I soaked the pecans last night and dehydrated them all day. Tonight I food processed the pecans first then added maple syrup, coconut oil, dates and sea salt. Jason covered a pie plate for me with plastic wrap and I filled it with the pie crust. I placed it in the dehydrator and it should be done tomorrow night. It is rather thin so I don’t think it will take long to dehydrate.
