I was in the Houston Metropolitian Cooking and Entertainment Show on Saturday!
Hey Raw Familyl!!!!
This weekend I had the priviledge of being a part of the Houston Metropolitian Cooking and Entertainment featuring Paula Deen!!!!! IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!! Sorry some of the photos came out a little blurry! It was extremely bright in there!
I actually wasn't nervous at all. I just remembered everything Alissa taught me about just being me and sharing my passion for Raw with everyone.

This was So Much fun!!!! They gave me 4 Sous Chefs to help me! The REALLY took the pressure off of me having to do everything from start to finish...which is what I'm used to doing. They prepared all of my veggies for me, so I could focus on presenting to my audience!

Right behind the black curtain was a working kitchen. Actually, I brought everything I needed for my show because all of the Chefs there had to share all of the equipment and I wanted to make sure that I had my Vitamix and Food Processor available when I needed it for my show. I brought samples of the food that I make for Tru Meals and displayed it on the table in front of me. The poster is advertising my Detox Box. (see http://www.trumeals.com/detoxbox.html). People were so amazed to see Raw Burgers, Stir Not Fry, Raw Tacos, and Mock Tuna Salad displayed right in front of them! During the show, I chose to make a Green Smoothie and Almost Salmon Pate on a bed of Romaine with Flax Crackers. I only had 30 minutes, so I had to make something quick and easy. I also took my "baby" Excalibur dehydrator because most people have never seen one, and I explained how to use it.
