Holidays

[hunny99]

I have some really great raw recipes lined up for myself (mock mashed potatoes with gravy, mock crab cakes and salad with mock caeser dressing) I am wondering what everyone is planning to eat and how your are planning for non raw relatives.

We don't have any relatives around, so it's just our little family of 5, and we're all raw. Makes it super easy. Our menu looks like this ...

Mock Turkey Loaf
Wild Rice Stuffing
Cranberry Sauce
Mashed "Potatoes"
Mushroom Gravy
Asian Style Green Beans
Marinated Veggies
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Holiday Cranberry Salad
Pumpkin Pie w/Whipped Cream
Apple Pie


And I'm most excited about the Apple Pie, lol! yum! can't wait.

I just did a search online for raw thanksgiving recipes, and I that's how I found all of mine. I don't know whose recipe this is, and I hate forwarding it on without giving proper credit... but maybe someone else will recognize it, and be able to give the origin (I'd love to know).

I've never tried this recipe before, so I can't account for how good it will be, lol ... but here you go

Mock Turkey Loaf
1 Cup Pumpkin Seeds
1 Cup Cashews
1/2 Cup brazil nuts
1 Scallion (green onion)
5 Celery sticks
1 teaspoon sage

Run the nuts through the food processor with the
"S" blade until finely ground. Add remaining
ingredients and continue to process until the
ingredients are well mixed together.

Remove from food processor and place on large
plate. Form into a loaf. Top with cranberry sauce.


and here is this one as well

Turkeyless Turkey
1/2 pound almonds, soaked overnight if possible
1/2 pound walnuts, soaked overnight if possible
1 pound carrots, finely grated
1 medium onion
1 Tablespoon raisins
1 Tablespoon oil
1 Tablespoon caraway seeds, ground
1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
Sea salt to taste

Combine all ingredients and put through a champion juicer with the blank
plate in or mix in a food processor. If the mixture is not firm enough, add
one or a couple of the following thickeners: dill weed, dried garlic, dried
onion, dried parsley flakes, nutritional yeast, psyllium husk powder, ground
flaxseeds.

Form into drumsticks, sprinkle with paprike or ground black pepper before
serving.

Hi

I am the only one eating raw, and I am making dinner for my family. But it is just our immediate family so it is not a big deal for me to be eating something different.
Here is what I am having:

for breakfast: pineapple/orange juice
persimmons

snack: frozen cranberry salad
marinated mushrooms with pecan stuffing

dinner: steak mushrooms
salad w/cranberry dressing
nut loaf
date shake

dessert: pumpkin pie
date squares

Yummy, can't wait!

We are blessed to be celebrating by ourselves this year so we're having ENCHILADA'S! :D OH, and maraw's lemon chewies for dessert (if I don't eat 'em all first!) :D

This will be my first Thanksgiving while going raw.....I plan on making two different types of chocolate mousse/pudding, taco meat, and salad. I'm not sure how its all going to pan out bringing that to my mom's. but i've already planned on having a HUGE green smoothie before I leave. I will over smoothie myself just to make sure I can't even fathom eating anything non raw. I pretty confident I can do it. :)

[hunny99]

I am going to try one or both....

[jaurequi]

Ladypeace, I love that strategy. Nothing like a green smoothie to start the day right :D.

The second loaf posted looks really good; though I 'd add some more herbs for flavor. Thanks for posting.

Best,
