What ya uncookin for 4th of July?

[garden granny]

The majority of the people I'lll be celebrating with will be grilling whatever on the gas grill - so I think I will throw my vegs & fruits on the grill for a second just to get the grill marks but not to cook at all. I'm thinking of:

marinated portabellos
asparagus
zuchini
pineapple
plums
nectarines
cherry tomatoes

What is a happy cow burger please?:confused:

[mathteacher]

THAT'S what I need to try; some nut burgers!

Thanks for the reminder! :D

[tvillemom]

Texas Junkie: Go to Maraw's website...."the raw table" and look under her recipes. She has an awesome recipe for "happy cow bbq burgers"....my DH REALLY liked them...and he's not raw!!

thanks so much to everyone! Guess what I'm having tomorrow :)

I am going to have lot's of cut fruit around, just as a safe guard. People coming over tomorrow (cooked folks) however some are open to new things.

I'm making food for my customer (private chefing, I guess)

Fajita wraps, enchiladas, you name it. I'll throw goddess chips and onion bread in tonight.

I'll have myself a nice din too, though, because tomorrow I am making another big lasagna, THIS time adding a layer of BRUSCHETTA! So good!
I have never tried my lasagna, so I will definitely make a side one for me. ;-)

That sounds interesting, is there a recipe for that?

I am meeting some friends for a picnic and one of them is also raw!

I am making:
fudge squares
corn crackers
wakame cucumber salad.
pesto

my raw friend is bringing a few different pates and green smoothies, yummie!!

[fuzzywater]

I just stuck Maraw's Key Lime Pie recipe in the freezer (although I made up my own crust for it.) Mmmmm licking the blender was very enjoyable. I've never made it before, but wow! I can't wait to "officially" try it tomorrow. Not sure if I'll actually end up sharing or not! :D

[garden granny]

Dahlila - I see you live in Baltimore? One of my daughters lives in Baltimore. If you know of any potlucks, please let me know & I'll pass it on to her, trying to get her into raw. She used to be a vegan, and is interested. :)

We are going to a raw pot luck and I'm bringing Allissa's Chili with a few changes to the recipe.

[Rawkinlocs]

Well, I didn't really make this food specifically FOR the 4th...but just so happened to have made:

- onion bread
- raw deviled eggless spread (I "did" cheat and added some dill pickle relish but I also stirred in some chopped avocado and to me, it gives it a more "egg-like" consistency)
- oatmeal cookies
- fruit leather
- popsicles
- and yes, we also just so happened to have bought a watermelon

[Beckla]

I had fun. Made:

Maraw's Neapolatin Ice Cream Pie and Cafe Gratitude's I Am Festive Chiles Relenos (Macadamia-Crusted Cheese-Stuffed Green Chiles) served with their I Am Awesome Salsa Verde and Tomato Salsa.

Both were amazingly good!! The pictures don't do them justice.

[lavendarJ]

Wow Beckla...that sure does look good

[Beckla]

So good, and so easy LavendarJ. I also made a dish of red bhutanese rice tossed with avacado, lime juice, tomatoes, some of the salsa verde, pepitas, and cilantro. To LIVE for. I think I'm addicted.

Garden Granny- I don't know of any at the moment, but I am talking w/ some people about starting up a potluck... I will let you know if we have one or I hear of one. Is your daughter raw also?

Rawkinlocs- what a great idea to put chopped up avos in the eggless spread. that would be super tasty.

Beckla- your food looks incredible! my mouth is watering just looking at the pics :)
