Happy, happy birthday!!!  No, it’s not my birthday, but I’m more excited about this birthday than if it were my own.  My close friend and college roommate is coming all the way from Portland, Oregon to spend her birthday weekend with me.  And while we’ll have a great girls’ weekend talking, shopping, and being pampered, I can’t wait to make a few raw recipes with her.

No, we aren’t spending the weekend in the kitchen. We have far too much else to do.  And it’s been too crazy of a week to have any sort of a menu plan at this point. But there’s one recipe that I know I’m making just as soon as she gets here.  And I wouldn’t have known about it without Raw Foods Thursdays.

What are Raw Foods Meals?

• Plant-based meals that are not cooked.  Dehydrators may be used no higher than 118 degrees.  (The raw foods community has differing views on temperature, but the range is between 104 and 118 degrees.)
• Raw Ingredients: vegetables, fruit, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, gluten-free sprouted grains, beans, and oils.

What isn’t raw?

• Anything cooked above 118.
• Anything processed.  If it comes from a can or a package that lists more than one ingredient, chances are it’s not raw!
