That one was getting a little too long. So, here is a new one so you can continue to show us your creativity with recipes and photos.
Here's how it works (or how we'd LIKE it to work! :) )
=======
We'd like to keep this thread for photos of recipes only. The reason being is so that we can all enjoy drooling over the beautiful creations of our members without having to scroll through pages and pages of posts giving kudos, saying how good it looks or asking for the recipe. However, we ALL like having that little pat on the back as it feels good to get praise, so IF YOU CAN...if at ALL possible, please try and post a photo of a food creation along with your kudos, etc. BUT... if you really wanna say something or ask something and it's not feasible for you to post a photo of one of your raw dishes, then we won't slap your hand for posting comments, feel free to do so - we just don't want to bombard the thread with more comments than photos, that's all! :)
With this in mind, please:
1) Those of you posting photos of your dishes, if it's your creation and you WANT to include to recipe, do so with your photo so that people can share in making it too!
2) If the recipe is not your own, you can cite the source of it, (i.e. "Living on Live Food" by Alissa Cohen, page ---) Now, use YOUR discretion with posting recipes from other books without the author's permission.
===========
I'll start the ball rolling with my snack for the night!
Dish - "Hot" Fudge Sundae with chopped pecans and strawberries
Recipe - I don't generally do measurements, but the "hot" fudge I got from a recipe that was posted here (I'll find the exact recipe source so I can give credit where it's due) 1 TB. cacao powder, 1 TB. coconut oil, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 1 TB. agave and I added a little bit of cashews and water and maybe a bit more agave. Mix in a bowl until no more lumps are present...but I blended in my Vitamix to kinda "warm" it a bit (almost burnt out my motor too!)
Ice Cream - I had previously blended in the blender about 1 c. cashews and 2 c. water, vanilla (maybe a couple of teaspoons), agave to taste and a little sea salt. I then froze this mixture in ice cube trays then when frozen, plopped out into ziploc bags to store. So, I added some of the cubes and about 1 frozen banana to my food processor and whipped it up until ice cream consistency.
This is my third attempt at RAW but this time i stuck:)
Now i crave raw food and i love it, love it, love it.
Thank you so much, for creating your beautiful sundae, it's good for breakfast, lunch and dinner
With the picture and recipe postings it is helping my hubby to go more raw and i can't thank you enough.
He's much healither now and his blood pressure is not an issue anymore, i can't wait for him to go back to the Doctor so he can get off the pills.
The Doctor told him he is sodium sensitive so i will start making him more green smoothies in the morning before he goes to work.
Thanks again.

So can we leave comments now, or is this still a strictly pic post? Confused, yet HUNGRY while lookin at these pics... lol
Hey Bud!
Yeah, it's okay now HOWEVER...it would be nice if these food pic threads could have more pics than comments so-oooo...I'm asking that if it's at all possible, at least contribute every so often with some pics if ya can! But it's cool if you can't and you still wanna say, "Hey, that looks good enough to eat!" or something like that
So can we leave comments now, or is this still a strictly pic post? Confused, yet HUNGRY while lookin at these pics... lol
I assume that was kind of indirectly aimed at me... Anyway, I hate to look through these wonderful creations and not compliment the people who put all their time and effort into creating such beautiful things. :)
guys, i thought this was a photo thread! Come on!
Which brings me to the point, rawkinlocs...im unable to post pics, says im over capacity pooey! are you able to help?
I totally respect that people want to do comments in the new photo thread but, couldn't we just have a photo/recipes only thread again? I just get really excited when I see a new post for photos and its only a comment!
Yeah, I have to agree about people not posting without photos. This is the only thread that I ALWAYS check if there are new posts, because it is so fun to look at. I know sometimes you want to find a recipe, or you just have to say that something looks great, but maybe in that case you could find a picture of something from another website or from way back in the photo threads (giving credit for either, of course). The fun thing about this thread is that it requires creativity, so for those who want to comment, pull yours out and make this an active, interesting thread!
I figured I'd post a picture of a summer farmer's market bounty, all ready to eat. I might have posted this last year but oh well. I still think it's nice to look at.
I love the hard work that Rawkinslocs is putting into this thread.
The pictures are beautiful and the recipes add so much to the thread.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the changes you made for the better
The farmer's bounty looks so good it makes me want to go.
