It’s my favorite day of the week, Thursday! I love Thursdays because I get to learn more about raw foods from all of you. Last week was no exception.

I learned how to make raw macaroons! (You know that every time I attempt raw cookies they’re too dry. So I’m glad I have an expert to learn from!)

And I’ve been going gaga for the pudding recipes that you all have been sharing. This one had me at “chocolate avocado”.

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!
