I thought it might be a good idea to have a section for people who are trying to get more raw food into their diet. I know the holidays can be a tricky time so I thought we could share recipes/ideas here. My Thanksgiving and Christmas in 2005 were both all raw and it was surprisingly easy. It just took a while to figure out what I wanted to make and the preparation took a bit of planning. After that, it was smooth sailing and the food was fabulous.

So, if anyone has ideas/pictures/recipes/questions, I guess this is the thread for it.

jenna - are you raw, yourself?

Could you maybe post your menu? I'm really interested in going raw eventually.

 

[just_a_grrrl]

yeah, that'd be awesome if you could post your menu!

ah. ok, sorry it took so long for me to answer.

christmas was pretty simple for me. i didn't focus too much on food and i ate most of the same stuff throughout the day.

for breakfast, i had made strawberry crepes and a big fruit salad.

for lunch/munching on through out the day, i had more of the fruit salad, plus i made flax seed crackers with avocado chutney dip. i also had a big veggie tray out with homemade raw onion dip. i also made some raisin ginger cookies. everyone else had some of the food, as well, and they surprised how good it was.

i can't remember what i had for dinner. i may have had some more of the strawberry crepes or i might have made a green smoothie.
