I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.
Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!
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. :)
I just love all the informtion and beautiful pictures everyone has submitted. :) I am finally posting two pies. The first is Creamy Peach Pie I just made today and then I had made the Strawberry Delight Pie in July. Enjoy!
Had burgers with cheese, barbecue sauce, mustard (not raw) and pickles (not raw) all on a lettuce "bun." These were so incredibly just like the real deal it was weird. We all looked surprised when we had our first bite. A new favorite in our house.
The recipe for the "meat" is Alissa's meatloaf recipe (with some of my own modifications like spices, smoke flavor, nama shoyu, little sweetener to balance the flavors, etc) made into patties. The barbecue sauce is also Alissa's with some more of my own little modifications. It was not my favorite but my husband loved it. The cheese is the rich cheesy sauce somewhere on this board. For hubby's, I marinated some shrooms and onions and put in the dehydrator while the patties were in there.
These were truly one of the most awesome things I have had!
:D :D Zeh hayom asah HaShem; nagila venismekha vo! (This is the day Adonai has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it!) :D :D
