Raw Wednesday Recap

by Gena on October 15, 2009

Hey guys!

Thanks for such a great response to my New Orleans post. I’m glad that some of you expressed interest in hearing Chloe’s take on pescatarian life in the Big Easy; with any luck, we’ve just inspired her to write a Choosing Raw VIP post :)

Yesterday, as we all know, was Raw Wednesday. I had asked you all to send me photos of the meals you made, and a bunch of you obliged with mouth-watering images of raw lunches, dinners, and snacks. Here they are, in all their glory:

Raw Spiralized zucchini noodles with diced raw veggies and homemade raw vegan Thai-Inspired Peanut sauce, courtesy of Averie:

A fruit and avocado breakfast platter and a raw carrot “cupcake” from Bambi:

A beautiful, simple salad with raw sunflower seeds, walnuts, and dried cranberries from my friend Iris:

A cauliflower salad from blog reader Aletheia:

A mouth-watering photo of a modified Pumpkin Pie in a Bowl soup from Kathryn:

And some zucchini guacanara from my friend Laura, along with a bonus picture of the raw pizzettes she made recently for a party:

Yum!

Elsewhere in the blogosphere, Kelly ate a honeycrisp apple (sure, Kelly, it counts!), and Whitney made an awesome collard burrito.

Did I miss you? Do you have some raw photos to share? Just send them to me for next Wednesday, or say a few words about your day in the comments section. I’ll be back tomorrow with a Question of the Week.

Everything looks so good. I have been having green smoothies every day! I am really enjoying them. This post is really inspiring. My husband thinks I am going crazy, but I am having fun trying new raw recipes!

My new favorite raw snack is Roma Tomatoes, sliced, with a little olive oil drizzled on top, with some fresh sea salt and cracked black pepper. It is so simple and so incredibly delicious. I had this with baby grape tomatoes once at a party and was obsessed.

Thanks Gena for featuring my food! If anyone wants the link for the peanut sauce, here it is http://www.loveveggiesandyoga.com/2009/10/raw-vegan-pasta-n-pesto-peanut-sauce.html
Hope it’s ok to post that, just trying to help anyone out who wants to make their own peanut sauce action :)

I hope you’re enjoying your trip and b/c of that shirt you wore yesterday, I ordered the pale blue one with the same saying. I hope it fits and that I ordered the right size b/c it’s too cute!

I was raw till my afternoon snack on Wednesday! Green juice throughout the morning, followed by an apple and then a go-pack of raw nuts and dried fruit. Broke the streak with oatmeal around 2pm but made sure to throw in some fresh ingredients – blueberries! Dyed my oatmeal a wonderful blood red color ;-)

Gena,
No, you didn’t miss me. I forgot again, and I don’t think I ate one single raw item yesterday. I’m writing Go Raw on next Wednesday in my planner right now!

P.S. Loved Chloe’s house. So much character.

D’oh – I usually make much more impressive dishes for Raw Wednesday! This was a lazy day, though. Everyone else’s food looks so yummy!

Thanks for posting all of these up, Gena. They’re totally motivational!
