No Potluck in July!

Because the 4th of July falls on the first Sunday of the month, we will NOT be having a July potluck.

Our next potluck will be Sunday, August 8 at 3:00 at Loggerhead Park. (off U.S. 1 just north of Donald Ross).

Fun at Potluck!

Last Sunday, we had our monthly raw food potluck at Loggerhead Park. I wasn't sure how the weather was going to be since they were calling for thunderstorms. However, I decided to go for it, since the weather was o.k. earlier.

It was nice, but very windy. It was a bit chilly, too. Luckily the rain held out until after we had finished eating.

There were about 8 of us. This is a nice amount. We can all sit around one picnic table. I had a blast. There was so much laughter going on. We also had lots of good, healthy food!!!

Cafe 118 in Winter Park, Florida

A couple months ago, at a local raw food potluck, I heard about a raw food cafe in Winter Park, Florida. These two sisters were going to drive almost 3 hours to eat there. They had eaten there before the same week, and wanted to go back. So, when I was in Orlando a two weeks ago, I decided to take the opportunity to check out Cafe 118 myself. It is located in a cute park of Winter Park. I don't know much about Winter Park to know if this is downtown--but I think it is.

I got there after the lunch hour, so there weren't many customers. This was fine with me because it gave me a chance to speak with the staff.

After explaining how I came to discover Cafe 118 and how I was always seeking new raw food restaurants, I was shown this month's local magazine with a several page story about Cafe 118. It was a very flattering article with lots of colored pictures. I was quite impressed with it.



I decided to order on of my usual raw food meals, spinach lasagna, so I could compare it with what I've eaten before. I have to say that I was more than pleased with it. The flavors were more subtle, and it was quite tasty.



















I couldn't decide between the key lime pie and pumpkin pie, so I ordered the key lime pie for my dessert and the pumpkin pie to take back to the vacation condo for dessert that nigh!

The Key Lime pie actually was a large tart. I enjoyed it greatly. The pumpkin pie tasted more like pumpkin cheese cake. I REALLY LOVED IT and could have easily eaten another piece!

When I go back to Orlando, I will definitely go to Cafe 118 again!!!

Kevin & Annmarie Gianni Potluck Event at Rene's

One of my wishes finally came true! Saturday was the High Raw talk given by Kevin Gianni. It was great finally getting to meet Kevin and Annmarie in person after watching them on The Renegade Health Show for the past two years!

This raw potluck event was at Rene & Allan Oswald's home. There was a great turn out of about 50 people!

I made my Cauliflower Cheeze and once again, everyone enjoyed it. Since I brought my sister with me, I made a double batch, but it was all gone by the end of the evening!

Since I've been asked for the recipe, I have posted it at my Palm Beach Gardens Raw Food Group website.

Potluck

We had a pretty good turn out for our potluck on Sunday, February 7, in spite of the cool and breezy weather across from the beach. We had our regulars, plus a couple people who have never made it.

These pictures were taken before everyone arrived. I had forgotten my camera, so took these with my phone camera. Unfortunately, I didn't think to take pictures after everyone got there.

Everyone brought something very yummy & healthful, too (of course)! My Califlower Cheeze was a hit, and it didn't take long for it to be finished. I have to admit that I had 3 servings. I want to thank Russell James for sending out this tasty recipe in one of his recent newsletters.

Next Raw Potluck

The Palm Beach Gardens Raw Food Group will have their next potluck on Sunday, February 7, at 3:00 at Loggerhead Park.

The weather is starting to get nicer, and this should be a fun & delicious day! I hope to see you there.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.



This is the dish that I will be bringing. It is called Cauliflower Cheeze.
