I'm sad to say that I'll be taking a very short sabbatical from lj.

Family is coming to town (tomorrow!) and staying until the following Friday.
D and I will be hosting a family get-together at our place tomorrow evening, which I'm going a little overboard in preparing for...but excitedly so. I've got a TON of new recipe ideas that I'll be embarking on this afternoon --- most likely into late this evening.
So I promise to return (possibly sooner than later) with a plethora of new raw food recipes and pictures!

Here's just a sample of my growing menu for the party tomorrow (all raw) which you'll be getting the details on once they've actually been made/created - I promise!:

- Zucchini/Carrot bread w/ Cream Cheeze Frosting
- Banana Coconut Crepes stuffed with fresh fruit
- Birds Nest Cookies w/ blueberry "eggs"
- Stuffed Marinaded Eggplant (w/ savory home-made almond cheeze)
- Massaged Kale Salad w/ Sweet Sesame-Lime dressing
- Creamy French Onion Zucchini "pasta" salad w/ fresh peas
- Bite Sized Polenta appetizers topped w/ Pizza Tapenade

Have a wonderful weekend ya'll! Wish me luck!

Happy Belated Mom's day to all of you who don that title.
D's been out of town since last Friday so I had the Sis over and we rocked it "girlie weekend" style. There is something truly medicinal about laughing hysterically at yourself. We always managed to do this non-stop when we're together.

Saturday evening we watched three Buster Keaton flicks, and in between movies and snacks we managed to blow up roughly forty balloons to decorate my house with...for Mothers Day of course! What good is a holiday if you can't have balloons?? Needless to say the Mom was happy to see them strung throughout the house (and I'm leaving them up for when D comes home tomorrow --- a perfect way to welcome him back!!).
We had a ton of yummy snacks, played with the cheap party favors I picked up from my neighborhood drug store, and went around in a circle sharing stories that related to Mom and our childhood (one of my favorite things to do during family gatherings).

I came up with a couple very simple and YUMMY rawfood party snacks/treats that I'll share with ya'll under the cut...
But for now I'm gonna tease you with some pics...
