Hi Guys,
Wow! Looks like the carrot falafel was a hit! I’m so glad you all liked it so much. I know a few of you have already given it a whirl; those of you that haven’t, please let me know if you try it, and if so, what you think!
So I’m blushing crimson as I say this, guys, but…I need your votes!!!
See, the Best of Raw celebration — an annual round up of the best recipes, products, educators, and bloggers in the raw food movement — has begun. And, much to my amazement, I’ve been nominated for not one, but three categories: Raw Vegan Educator of 2009, Raw Blog of 2009, and Raw Vegan website of 2009. I’m speechless!! And honored. And happy to see that I’m in great company, alongside such awesome healthy living blogs as Kristen’s Raw and Crazy Sexy Life.
I’m loathe to implore you all for votes, but what is the honor of nomination good for without the possible honor of the award itself? So with that in mind, I’m asking you all — if you find me worthy of the awards in question — to please click here to place your vote! You can skip or fill out the other categories at random (though they include some fun criteria you may want to vote on). Just besure to cast your ballot for me in the Raw Educator, Raw, Vegan Blog, and Raw Website categories.
I am so, so grateful for any support you should see fit to share!
And I’ll be back later tonight or tomorrow morning with a round up of yoga DVDs and a quick recipe.

OK, tried voting, but the page won’t fully load. Weird! Will try again later.
Congratulations!!!
Damn, there are a lot of nominees listed for every category! It’s awesome that there are so many amazing people involved in the raw community, but maybe they could whittle it down for next year…
Anyway, you have my vote! Good luck, Gena!
good luck Gena!! im voting!
Will definitely vote for you! I never even considered eating raw until I started reading your blog. You’ve taught me a lot!
Hi Gena!
Congratulations and greetings from the other side of the Atlantic! This seemed like an appropriate occasion to thank you for your blog, it has really inspired me to explore raw food. For me the best part is without doubt the recipes (and food pictures!), and I also love your style of writing (I’m not a native English speaker so it’s always fun to read such rich language).
I’m not aiming to be 100% raw (at least not at the moment) but with inspiration from bloggers like you I think I’ve already crossed the 50% line without really even noticing. And I feel great!
Keep it up!
Congrats Gena, I’m definitely going to vote for you!
Just had to show you my tweet: Voting time http://bestofraw.net/ the peeps I heart @choosingraw @jasonmarz @sarma @cafegratitude @Kris_Carr & @ElainaLove

Did and done
First of all, Congratulations! And second of all, this request is anything short of begging. Your blog has tremendously helped and guided me in adopting a high-raw (already a vegan) diet. Even more importantly, your encouragement has helped me feel less defensive and embarrassed about my dietary CHOICES, and as a result I have come to more greatly embrace it and let others know how happy I am. So thank you, thank you, and well, thank you! Off to go vote!
done and done babe!
Totally voted + totally hope you WIN!!
Done and done! I love your blog, Gena – I hope you win!!
