Other blog news. I have passed along my Creative Blogger Award to Paulina of Veggie Delight. She is our future in raw and vegan cuisine and I wanted to acknowledge the talent that this 16-year-old possesses. Keep up the great work Paulina!
I enjoy pesto, it's a classic Italian sauce that tastes great with just about anything. I'm not quite sure what possessed me to try this classic with pumpkin seeds. It could have been I didn't have pine nuts and the green, sweet and nutty tasting seed was calling. Whatever the reason, this raw food twist is something you should try.
Pumpkin Seed Pesto 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds 2 clove of garlic, minced 3/4 cup basil leaves 1 bunch coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley , leaves only Juice of one lemon ½ cup extra virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon sea salt
1 Combine the pumpkin seeds and garlic in a food processor. Pulse on and off, until the seeds are almost ground.
2 Add basil, parsley and lemon juice. Stream in olive oil. Scrap down the sides with a spatula in between pulses), until all the ingredients are combined.
3 Transfer to a bowl and season with sea salt. Serve with carrot and zucchini noodles.
Pumpkin seeds are a very good source of the minerals magnesium, and phosphorous, and a good source of iron, copper, protein and zinc. This raw food recipe uses an ingredient from March's The Daily Raw Recipe Challenge.
Hello everyone! I want to thank you all for the patience and support you have given me these past three months during my juice feast. I am happy to say that starting next week, The Daily Raw Blog will return to posting 4-5 days per week.
Also there are some new and exciting things going on and I hope you will enjoy.
Monday (and sometimes Friday) features "Focus On"
The Daily Raw will "Focus on" a spice, an ingredient, a piece of equipment, etc. There will be great tips, history and information on an item along with a recipe.
Tuesday honors the readers The features include "Dear Daily Raw", surveys, reader feedback, questions, comments, etc. If you have a raw food kitchen question, forward to "Dear Daily Raw" at yahoo.com. Your question will be posted in Tuesday's section.
Wednesday is Recipe Day Traditionally, across the country Wednesdays are food day for newspapers. It will be no different for The Daily Raw.
Thursday is the day for News You Can Use and the Calendar listing If you have an raw food event you would like to have posted, pass it along for Thursday's Calendar section. Send items to yahoo.com.
Fridays is my day off, well, actually it's my Test Kitchen day. I'll take the day to develop new recipes and test them out.
Unless I want to share with you what I'm working on or if it's a special occasion, there won't be any posts on Fridays. But you never know what surprises I might have in store.
And don't forget about the monthly Daily Raw Blog Recipe Challenge .
There will be some major news coming in late April, early May so stay tuned.
See you next week for new and fun raw food at The Daily Raw Blog. Peace and Love, Terilynn
Here you go ladies and gentlemen the ingredients for March's Raw Recipe Challenge.
Here's how it work: Each month, I'll host a challenge based on certain ingredients. You can create breakfast, lunch, dinner, drink, appetizer, main dish, etc. It can be as simple or complex as you choose. You can use one ingredient or all of them. It's all up to you. What ever you choose as long as you showcase at least one of the ingredients in the photo.
Here are some of the rules:
1. It could go without saying but it has to be a raw food dish. You can use certain non-raw items, i.e. maple syrup.
2. No raw meat please.
3. Send a photo of the dish, the name of the dish, your name and a link where the recipe can be found (or include the recipe, whatever you choose) to yahoo.com. Next week, I'll share my recipe.
4. There's no winners, we're just having fun and sharing our creative juices. It's all good.
List of ingredients 1. Pineapple 2. Pumpkin seeds 3. Garbanzo Beans 4. Sun-dried tomato 5. Kale
