i was this close to buying blueberries at the store yesterday, but opted for strawberries instead!! (they were organic, blues werent)

Have fun everybody! can't wait to see it all!

[ReneeH]

AAAAWWW!!!! Hey, make a Strawberry Pie and still join us!!!! :kisses:

Hopefully I won't be the only one there!!!! :sadtears: :please

[klomasius]

Haha, lovely thought Renee!

I have 2.5 kilos of blueberries in my freezer, but I have no idea what the time would be here. Where are you?

[ReneeH]

I'm in Texas....CENTRAL TIME ZONE... Thank you! That's important information!!!! :LOL:

Hey, you never know....MAYBE ALISSA WILL JOIN US!!!! :dance:

[Shine]

Ya know, I was just looking at my pics and salivating over the blueberry pie!!! :drool:

I have tons of fresh frozen strawberries and am gonna get to work right now!!

GREAT idea! :eat

[streetsurfer]

Maybe I'll make it by with a frozen concoction, in lieu of a pie.

[ReneeH]

This is SOOOOOO COOOOOL!!!!! :woohoo:

You mean, I won't have to be at the Party by myself!!!!! :hug You guys are AWESOME!!!!!

It totally sucks to have a party and NOBODY shows up!!!! :ROFL:

[RawHealthyBeauty]

Hey Renee, count me in!!

This is a great idea. It'll be cool to have a buddy to do the same recipes with!!

I'll divide the recipe, since I've only got certain amount of blueberries!!!

[Aleesha Sattva]

When I was talking to Alissa today she was on the road... so she may not make it to the pie party.

BUT... when I was Costco today I picked up three bins of blueberries!!! I may make juice... mmmmmm juice.

I love this idea!!! :heart:

[klomasius]

Haha, just discivered 12 noon for you is 5am for me!

Maybe I'll still come, we'll see. ;)

[Stina]

Wahhhh! Give me more notice next time, I want to party!

[Aleesha Sattva]

renee... you need to give everyone more time!!! how about friday at noon?

[ReneeH]

Yea!!! Friday at noon it is!!!!! :). I'm SO excited!!!!

When I went to the store to get Bananas for my pie, all the Organic ones were GREEN!!!!! I went to 3 stores, too!!!! So, I settled for getting one that was conventional yellow!!!! But, I also bought the green ones, so now I can wait for my organic green ones to turn yellow!!!!! COOL!!!!!!

Thanks for the suggestion to reschedule!!!! :heart

[Stina]

Love the idea, by the way. Nice community building.

[ReneeH]

Love the idea, by the way. Nice community building.

Thx Stina!!!!! Hope to see you here Friday with your Blueberry Creation!!!!! :)

[Alissa]

[ReneeH]

Hey Mama Bear!!!!

That would be SO COOL if you could post one!!!! It's still one of my favorite Pies! And, so simple to make! It's always so encouraging when you get a chance to post!!!!!

XXXOOO
Nee

[changeisgood]

You know I'm in - :eat
plenty of blueberries left after making the crumble - BTW - it gave me motive to 'cook' and have something prepared for a few days - great in a smoothie with oj and abit more shredded coconut.
For Friday - hmmmm, I'll think of something fun to make. Been wanting to try the pancakes.
:throwhearts: :throwhearts:

[GlimR]

So glad you changed the date...thinking about just what to make...fun!!!

[NYC Elerunner]

I think that I will bring some blueberry milk to go with all this pie!! Yum!:eat

[Raw Angel Mom]

I don't know how to atach a picture but i will try to figure this out.

[Raw Angel Mom]

[GlimR]

Aleesha, that looks so good!! Need to get myself some mangoes!!!

[epiphany]

Here is my contribution, loved the recipe.

[Aleesha Sattva]

glim i started my day with the ripest, sweetest mango i've ever had this morning. ohhhh it made me happy. i'm on a blueberry binge at the moment. i can't get enough of these gorgeous berries so this is a perfect challenge for me this week LOL

i wonder what next weeks will be... :yes:

oh and glim... i'm coming over for dessert!

[GlimR]

*pats seat*...come on over~ *s* Me too! What a great idea this is!! Really fun!

[Breakaway]

I am new here, but ready for the Berry Blue Party !!! Just hope I am posting where I should!

[Breakaway]

Oooohhh, I just surprised myself. It worked....and my Blueberry Custard photos even shows. Mmmmm am getting really hungry!!!
BTW, Hi to everyone!
Carol:eat

[NYC Elerunner]

I was supposed to bring the blueberry milk, but it came out more like a smoothie (which makes sense since there were no creamy type ingredients in it) but it has chia seeds so we will all have a lot of energy! After seeing all of your pictures, I wish I had made a pie - next time :)

:drool: this guy is kinda gross

[Breakaway]

You can't beat blueberry milk/smoothies!

[ReneeH]

:running in the room...:

Hey guys!!!! Sorry I'm a few minutes late!!! I had problems uploading my photos in Photobucket. But, I think I fixed the problem!

WELLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at THIS!!!!! You GUYS!!!! THIS IS THE ****BEST**** PARTY EVER!!!!!!!

:heart

HERE'S ALISSA'S WONDERFUL BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE FROM LOLF:

I just LOVE this Pie!!!!! Everytime I make it, I always eat EVERY BITE!!!

In RFFE, Alissa says to eat your Berries...especially Blueberries....EVERY DAY! The fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants are just some of the reasons given! She says to look for plump berries...which I do! Sometimes I freeze my Blueberries...especially if I'm making Smoothies!

[Breakaway]

H! This is such a fun idea!
The photos look soooo yummy and creative. Can you guys give ingredients, recipes with them?

My Berry Blue Custard consists of
Mashed banana with lemon juice
Blueberries around the edge
Strawberry slices
and Whipped Cream made with a mashed banana that I added some leftover
strawberry/banana smoothie too.
Simple and Yum.

[Breakaway]

Reneeh,

Living On Live Food....Alissa's FIRST Book... She has a Blueberry Pie and Cheesecake recipe in there... Actually she has 51 dessert recipes in her book, not including COOKIES!!!! There are almost 300 recipes in the entire book! If you don't have it, I HIGHLY recommend getting it!!!! :woohoo:

[ReneeH]

My 9 year old daughter Sydnei is enjoying my Blueberry Cheesecake!!!!!! She says, "YUMMMM....UMMMMM!!!!!! I *REALLY* like the Crust! I like the Blueberries, and the Cheesy parts...O.k. I like it all!!!!! Thank you Miss Alissa for your yummy recipe! I like everything my Mom makes, especially your Kim Chi!"

[Breakaway]

That book sounds awesome! I just read the reviews for it on Amazon and everyone raves about it! It seems like Alissa has a great approach to this way of eating.

[RawHealthyBeauty]

Oh boy, that was really good and filling!! Will save my other dish for later.....which will be soon later!!! lol!

So glad you're loving it!!

I will be making this again in my very near future!!

We outta have parties more often!!! :heart

[Breakaway]

That was very inspiring for me - and a treat to not have to eat alone!!
May there be more parties!

[GlimR]

Renee......am going to make the cheesecake very soon! Looks great and you look absolutely beautiful Lady~
I have little mini tart pans I use.
The topping is chopped glazed walnuts and the green on the top is lime zest! :throwhearts: Think I'll go eat another one!

[epiphany]

Renee-- I did follow Alissa's recipe, except that I added some psyllium to it. I think I will be doing this again, thanks for the idea.

[ReneeH]

Psyllium.....? Hummmm! I can actually see that!!!! Great idea! I freeze mine, though... Seems to hold the shape better that way and I actually love frozen Pie!!! (I know, I'm wierd!!!:dance:) So, I put my BlueBerry Cheesecake in the Freezer!!! Stays longer, too! ...course in my house, not too long!!!!! :drool:

THANKS EVERYONE FOR A TERRIFIC PARTY!!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS RAWK!!!!!!

[Aleesha Sattva]

We are planning on having one of these parties a week. Renee is going to choose the ingredient (like this week was blueberries) and she'll choose a recipe for us to make. We can make the one she suggests (cause we looooove her suggestions) or you can make something else.

Then we'll share our creations.

Since someone asked about it being on a weekend. Our next party will be on Sunday the 20th... and the lovely Renee will start a thread later today letting us know what the ingredient will be so we can all start planning!
