Preparing For Thanksgiving

[IamLoved]

It has been said many times. Preparation is the key to successfully eating raw. With that said it is time to start thinking about Thanksgiving! I did an all raw Thanksgiving two years ago and know that I can do it again. I just need to start thinking about it and preparing myself for it. So I would like to get some ideas for what I can make this year and start making up my lists (I am a big list maker!)

So far I am thinking something with cranberries for breakfast, definately a raw pumpkin pie, oh and that awesome stuffing from RawTable. I need to go through my journal to see what I made last time.

So any ideas, recipes, menus....please post them here!

Hi I Am Loved ~ Is there a recipe for the stuffing you're making that you could point me to?

I wanted to post as my husband's originally from Opdyke, IL - just outside of Mt. Vernon.

Renegade Health just showed how to make Zucchini Roll ups with Cranberry - Orange Salsa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0H71i8dcNU)for Thanksgiving - sure looks good! *Ü*

Good for you to start this thread. Since I am only fixing food from Alissa's book until I get every recipe made, I will be having an Alissa thanksgiving! I will be following this thread, but will start one using just Alissa's recipes. Please don't think I am hijacking your thread!

DebB - I am going to have to find that recipe. It was from Anna at The Raw Table if I am not mistaken and it was so good. I don't even like traditional stuffing for Thanksgiving but I loved this stuff! When I find it I will post it. Gotta search I guess

Aleesha - thank you for posting that thread. So much info on that one!

Annie - no worries. I think it will be a lot of fun to see what people are making and compare ideas.

I'm putting this one on my holiday list for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Cranberry Relish Sauce (http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/showthread.php?t=54644)

I tried it today. Add cinnamon to make it extra special. Serve it with spiced apple juice or rooibos chai tea and Theobroma's Shortbread Cookies (http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/showthread.php?t=53976)for brunch.

Save some to thrown in the blender with romaine and water for a quick smoothie.

RK - That sounds yummy!

Ok, I found the thread and recipe for the corn dressing. This was so yummy!

I remember that I did not use walnuts because I do not like walnuts in savory dishes. I may have used part Brazil nuts and part something else. Anyway it was so good!
