Thanksgiving Raw Potluck--Saturday, November 22.

We are planning our next raw potluck for Saturday, November 22. We will hold it at Loggerhead Park (where we held our last potluck). It will be at 3:00 p.m.

We are hoping that everyone will make something similar to what one would eat at Thanksgiving (but 100% raw and mostly organic). If you have questions, need a suggestion of what to make, or need a Thanksgiving type recipe, just contact me.

I will be making a pie. It is called Tastes Like Pumpkin Pie.

I hope we have a good turn out. The price is right, and it gives us an opportunity to have a Thanksgiving meal with friends and a large selection of raw foods. I know a lot of you will be sharing a traditional Thanksgiving with family. This gives you the opportunity for an nontraditional (and yummy) raw food Thanksgiving, too.

Our Next PBG Raw Food Group Meeting

Our next raw food group meeting will be this Thursday, November 6 at 6:30 at the North County Regional Library (in Palm Beach Gardens).

We will be discussing our next raw food potluck. This will be a Thanksgiving potluck, and we hope for a large turnout.

It will be at 3:00 on Saturday, November 22 at the Loggerhead Park in Juno Beach.

We would like everyone to make some type of raw Thanksgiving dish. Contact me for details.

Saturday Fun!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow (Saturday). I'm going to Hippocrates Health Institute for their annual open house party. This year the theme will be the 50's.

After that, I'll be going to the Soma Cafe to enjoy their wonderful raw lasagna. Then Paul Nison will be giving a raw food demo and lecture.

I will be sharing this day with a lot of my raw food friends. I'm grateful to all my new raw food friends here as well as my new raw online friends.

Raw Food Potluck

We had our first raw food potluck. We found a nice pavilion at Loggerhead Park. The weather was beautiful. We had a small group, but it was delightful, and the food was yummy.

Raw Food Potluck October 18

We will be having our raw food potluck at a shelter at Juno Beach on October 18 at 5:30. I will post the shelter number after I get it.

Palm Beach Gardens Raw Food Group Meeting

This Thursday, we will be having a raw food group meeting. We are able to use a community room in the library for this meeting. I am hoping we have a good turn out. Although, we are limited to only 30 people.

Please contact me, if you will be able to attend. I will give you all the details.

I am also hoping for us to decide upon the date for our first raw potluck. We will discuss this at our meeting.

Raw Lasagna

Yesterday I made raw lasagna for the first time. I found a recipe on the internet and wanted to give it a try. The recipe was called Vegetable Lasagna with Cashew Ricotta & Marinated Portabella. I already had the marinated Portabella mushrooms from Friday's dinner.

The cashew ricotta turned out great. I put just a little less salt and fresh basil than it called for. The marinara wasn't quite to my liking, so I added 2 dates and a small clove of garlic.

I changed the recipe slightly as I added a couple layers of fresh spinach. I massaged the spinach in a little oil first to give it more of a "cooked" texture.

Originally, I had hoped to duplicate the taste of the raw lasagna from the Soma Cafe. I knew it wouldn't be just like it since it also had the mushrooms. However, I got a different taste, but this was an unexpected good thing.

I liked everything about this lasagna. It is good that I can have something different at home and still can look forward to the other lasagna at the Soma Cafe.
