sharing raw, vegan recipes and advice

I tried to make a sauce from Rawsome by Brigette Mars for Mac N' Cheese. I was short a few ingredients and made some changes. What I ended up with was a rich and complex curry sauce that has a cheesy flavor and a subtle curry punch. Its fantastic and goes with just about anything. I used it in cabbage rolls and threw it over veggies. Plus I made zucchini noodles and had what I like to call Mac N' Cheese with a twist. YUM!!

I’m not a huge fan of just drinking carrot juice, so when I had some leftover from making Raw ‘Tuna’ Salad yesterday I had to come up with a tasty recipe for all that leftover carrot juice.

I’m a huge an of curry so I searched the web for some inspiration for a carrot curry kind of soup. I got some ideas, but mostly just messed around with ingredients until I ended up with this Raw Curried Carrot Soup. Simple to make, nice subtle curry flavor, plus a little zing from the ginger. Awesome as a cold soup, and I’m probably going to try it as a salad dressing today.

This marinara sauce is super easy, with minimal ingredients and practically no effort! Goes great over zucchini noodles. So fresh and tasty!

In my efforts to make the raw chocolate halvah, I realized I was super low on cocoa powder, ouch! Fortunately, however, I've decided bumps in the road like that are perfect opportunities to get creative so I started experimenting with some other ingredients until I had something worth eating! I started adding vanilla, then threw in some coconut oil, plus the little bit of cocoa powder that I did have. The nutty sesame flavor mixed with the chocolate, coconut, and vanilla give these little "truffles" a malted chocolate flavor that really surprised (and delighted) me. Definitely a successful endeavor, enjoy!
