This is going to be my first raw thanksgiving and Im spending it for the first time with my sister and her hubby in Alaska. They are both super acceping and I want to contribute to the meal with a de-lish raw dish! What are you making for thanksgiving?? Any yummy recipies that are simple and easy to prepare? Id like to make a pie and maybe something hearty too...

thanks!

nomnomnomnom...!

i made this for our canadian thanksgiving and everyone always loves it

CREAMY carrot raisin salad

1/3 cup raisins
2 cups carrots, peeled and roughly grated
1/4 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup eggless vegan mayo *** (recipe below this one)
agave to taste (i use blended dates instead of agave)
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt (omit if avoiding salt)

Mix it all up with love and good intentions and enjoy !


Eggless Vegan Mayonnaise Recipe
Ingredients:
3 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup soy milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp mustard
6 tbsp vegetable oil
Preparation:
Put all the ingredients except the oil in a blender. Blend on the lowest speed. Gradually - one drop at a time - add the oil until the mixture starts to thicken. Continue blending until thickened and smooth. Transfer to a jar and store in the refrigerator


*** personal note about the mayo - I prefer mayonaise type mayo compared to miracle whip which my hubby likes .. also im not a big fan of paprika so i omit it .. start with the lemon , soy and veg oil , and add the salt and spices to taste or omit what you dont like. If you like a more miracle whip type mayo then drizzle in a teaspoon at a time some vinegar (white or applecider **applecider will turn the color from white tho) to give it that more tangy type flavor

Happy Day of Thanks!!!!

nomnomnomnom...!

oh my gaaawwwwd

that apple pie looked soooo incredible

thanks for sharing

what did u do to make the cranberry sauce?

looked great as well
though i first saw the pic and thought it was a pie

The cranberry sauce was just fresh cranberrys, an orange, some dates and spices all blended up! So yummy, And the pie was gone in two days

nomnomnomnom...!

oh.. that's it?
wow.. so simple but looks reaaal deelish

i have a question
i tried to make an apple pie before

i used apples .. both blended and sliced
for the crust i used nuts

the thing is.. the whole thing like FELL APAAAAART!!

i mean.. it might as well have been a mushy cobbler

it tasted pretty good but as far as the presentation goes

i have NOOOO idea how you got that pie to look as good as it did

without having the apples falling apart into a crumbling tower when you cut a slice of it out

how DID you DO it??

Hahahaha!

Okay, okay, well The crust was a mix of blended almonds and diced dates. I blended the almonds in a blender (didn't have a food prossesor) and chopped the dates into a nice mushy paste by hand (again no food prossesor) and then combined the two untill it was all incorporated and pressed the mix into the pie pan.

The apples I thinly sliced and made a sauce of dates/oranges/spices: about 5 dates and one to two oranges (one large or two small), then tossed it all together with dried cranberrys and blueberrys and poured into the formed pie crust. I guess by having the apples thinly sliced it helped it stay together and not fall apart along with the sauce. I also let it set in the fridge for a bit too.

I hope this helps! Oh, and The crust was 2c dates / 2c almonds

Good luck, now I want to make another one

nomnomnomnom...!

I know this apple pie, it is reeaaally good.

Isn't that apple pie from Any Phyo? A friend of mine made a cake like that, and it was from her book ... or another raw food book. But in that recipe there was a teaspoon salt in the crust, which makes it even more delicious, in my opinion.

Hi Morgen,

The apple pie looked delish!
what was the mound?

The mound? That was a 'mock turkey'. It was alright, I think it needed more nuts and/or carrots... too much onion for my taste! Buy it was still good, the pie was the best!

nomnomnomnom...!

Morgen, What is your recipe for the Mock Turkey? Looks good. The pie looks incredible. Thanks for the photos! Therese

Yes I am interested too!!
Thank you!!
