Gary enjoying the Radicchio and Fennel Coleslaw
Here are some photos from last night's The Aurora Living and Raw Food Cafe hosted by the lovely Gina. My contribution was Radicchio and Fennel Coleslaw. I used some ingredients from the Daily Raw Recipe Challenge. I will post the recipe some time this week. This month's challenge is almost over. March 1 will bring a new ingredient list.
Here are some photos from The Denver Living and Raw Food Cafe rawluck I attended yesterday.
Kale Salad
I made a platter of crudites with three different flavors of flax crackers, olive tapenade and
vegetable dip. I will share the recipes for the platter sometime next week. As you can see there were a variety of raw dishes at Saturday's rawluck, it was amazing!
Fettuccine Alfredo
Blondies
Stuffed peppers with Cashew/Macadamia nut cream and avocado
Fruit Salad
Apple with chocolate
I am attending a second rawluck on Tuesday so there will be even more tasty treats to share!
Mixed Green Salad
"For those bloggers who inspire others through their words and actions.
With a positive attitude, and uplifting spirit these bloggers make the blogosphere
a better place, and encourage others to do the same. This award is for bloggers
who rise up to set an example but continue to reach out and support others.”
What is better than getting an Inspirational Blogger Award from your peers? Getting two Inspirational Blogger Awards. What are the odds that Inspiration:Life and the Daily Raw Blog get awards on the same day? Bizarre.
This means I can pass along this award to 10 bloggers, instead of 5. Yeah!
Thank you Fatma for bestowing such an honor to The Daily Raw Blog and I wish I could open up a real Cafe.
Let's celebrate with a salad!

Okay here's a grey area. I might have eaten something cooked but not quite sure. I was munching away on my banana chips thinking they were dehydrated minding my own raw business when Man on the Raw (without missing a beat) said "Those aren't raw. They fry them. What the f***?!?
Are you telling me I just ate something that not only is NOT raw but it's fried??? Great, just great. So now do I feel like a failure because I wasn't techniqually 100% raw or do I just say whatever,
Well, if you know me (and I think you might know a bit), I say "whatever", I'm not going to stress. To me, My Year of Living Raw continues untarnished.

What's your favorite activity to do while you eat dehydrated/fried unsweetened banana chips?
