Hello,

This was my first Thanksgiving raw and I had no idea what to make for it. My sister and I did all the prep for it and it turned out fantastic. I made recipes I've never made before and just couldn't believe how good it all tasted. I was wondering if it would compare to a typical SAD Thanksgiving where I used to pig out and feel sick all day. Also wondered if there would be enough food and would I be satisfied. My mom couldn't believe how fantastic it all tasted. The taco meat and Pumpkin Pie were so scrumptious. We had never used raw pumpkin before either and bought a sugar pumpkin. It was the last one in the store.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadian and to the Americans who celebrate soon.

docsharp,

Yes, the taco's are good. It was just nice to try something so different on raw food. It was hard to not overeat though because it was too good.

Revvell,

Thanks. Like your Revvellicious sign off.

Stina,

Hope your Thanksgiving goes well. I too was supposed to go to a SAD Thanksgiving and bring Raw food but the people who invited us moved into a new house and it isn't quite finished yet so they spent the week-end working on it.

trinity,

Thanks, hope yours is a good one too.

spiralgirl,

Could I get a copy of that pumpkin pie recipe posted? Or maybe it has been already and you could provide the thread--I had no luck searching...
