[Aleesha Sattva]

Renee welcomes you to another RFT Party!


Hello, Hello, HELLO RAWbies!!!!!

Yau'll KNOW what time it is???? It's time to
PAR-TY!!!!! HEY!!!!! PAR-TY!!!!!!!

Here's a quote from our lovely Aleesha about how it'll work:

"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!"


SOOOO!!!!!! The ingredient for SUNDAY, March 27th, 2011 will be...

:drumroll, please.......:






MUSHROOMS!!!!!!!! :dance:

I wanna make the Lobster Mushrooms from RFFE!!!!! Alissa has some fantastic recipes in LOLF!!!!! There's Marinated, stuffed, pesto.... And, there are several from RFFE!!!!

Let's get creative!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!! :Woot:

***Renee is not well so I'm posting it for her this week***

[Aleesha Sattva]

So... who's in?

[vickie52]

I'd love to participate. I'm trying to learn some recipes to add to the juices and salads. Do we just make it and post how the results turned out?

[siennagray]

Small RSVP list for this party so far... I'll try and play. I picked up some mushrooms on sale last night.

vickie52 - if you're able to post a photo, that's great, and share what you made. See this link (http://rawfoodtalk.com/showthread.php?t=64169&page=2) for some examples from the tomato party.

I'm in, because I know I LOVE I mean I just love the Stuffed Portobella Mushroom Caps from LOLF. I always make everyone take a bite of this and tell them how easy this is to make.

Plus, I wanna send some some healing vibes in Renee's direction!!! Hope you're feeling better!!

Aleesha!!! I'm on for the party!! :throwhearts:

Let's get this party started!!

[appifanie]

If I remember to buy mushrooms tomorrow, then sure :D

[LaniB]

I was looking through an old thread and the sausage patties on page 208 of RFFE look amazing!!!

Depending upon how the weekend goes, I might try to make them on Sunday.

But if anyone needs any inspiration for a yummy mushroom recipe, this one seems to fit the bill. :)

[ReneeH]

So glad to see you all on for the PAR-TY!!!!! It promises to be a GREAt one!!!!!! I'm making my Lobster Mushrooms that I ordered from Alissa!!!! If you've never seen them, come to the party and have some!!!!

I'm feeling more like myself today!!!! Boy, it's been a rough couple of weeks for me!!!!

Thanks for all the hugs everyone!!!!!

Can't wait till Sunday!!!!!!

[RawHealthyBeauty]

Glad to hear you're feeling more like yourself!!! The party wouldn't be the same without you!

I love this!! This creation never gets old for me!!

I agree!!! I just LOVE her Stuffed Portobella!!!!

Oh My GOOOOOODNESS!!!! You guys!!!! These are AMAZING!!!!!! They taste JUST LIKE LOBSTER!!!!!!!! How is that possible???? LOVE 'EM!!!!!! .....but, O.K......, they make me feel a little "naughty"!!!!! :coolbanana

I even got some fresh Arugula from my garden!!!!

AND.......HERE IS THE SALAD PUT TOGETHER......

SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD!!!!!! What I REALLY loved most was how the Grezzo Mayo really brought the whole salad together!!!!

As a matter of fact, recently I remade Alissa's Jicima Salad from LOLF and added the Grezzo Mayo instead of the Tahini (I'm not a fan of Tahini, though I did LOVE the salad....). I LOVE the salad even MORE with the Grezzo Mayo!!!! That's some GOOOOOOOOOD STUFF YAU'LL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O.K........ I'm a PRETTY HAPPY SISTA RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[siennagray]

Looks delicious so far! Glad you're feeling better Renee. I'll be bringing my dish to the party a little late, since I slept in and wanted to have breakfast first. :) I'll be making stuffed mushrooms as well, but not Alissa's, since I don't have her book yet.

[ReneeH]
