LOL
Following a few recipes that have been recommended here on this site. I started with a delicious fettucini dish:
I used this recipe from this site (recommended by my man Coolbgdog1...thank you):
http://www.rawglow.com/recipes.htmIngredients
4 small or 2 large zucchini spiralized into thick noodles
4 manila mangos diced
1 ripe lemon juiced
2 tablespoons tahini
1 fourth cup water
chopped mint leaves
black sesame seeds for garnish
Spiralize zucchini with the thick noodle setting with the spiral slicer* or use a vegetable peeler to make fettuccine type noodles. To make the sauce add mangos, tahini, water, and lemon juice to blender and blend until smooth. Top the zucchini noodles with sauce and garnish with chopped mint leaves and sesame seeds.
I used a vegetable peeler to make the fettucini noodles. Now, I left out the mint leaves and sesame seeds. And I had to spice it up a little. I added some Vegesal (sp), ginger powder, sage, basil, celery seeds, and thyme. I used too much water too. LOL It kept looking too thick, so I added another half cup, but it was unnecessary. Next time, I think I'll add some fresh ginger to the sauce to give it a nice spicy kick. Sweet and spicy with the mango...mmmmm. In spite of the sauce being thin, this dish turned out to be delicious. My sad eaters agreed.
Next up was my Kiwi Pie...recipe found courtesy of my man Curtis Duncan. Gratitude to you.

So, I used kiwi as my fruit and replaced the lemon with lime (I'm such a deviant lol). I chose pecans for my crust. I haven't tasted the pie as a whole yet, but I did nibble a bit of the crust and the filling separately. And let me tell you something right now!!! LOL...so yummy. Oh! Your slice is in the mail, Curtis.
lol
So I followed that up with a kicking guacamole which I comprised from a few different recipes I found on the web. I used:
3 Avocados
*some* Cilantro (Lol...some...I didn't measure...but I love cilantro so I was generous with it)
About a half of onion
2 Roma Tomatoes
1 Lime (the juice)
Sea Salt to taste
Cayenne to taste
Yummy yummy yummy for my tummy! This is some of the best guacamole I've ever had. And not just because I made it. Again, my sad eaters raved about it.
After that I moved on to this heavenly, yes heavenly (just b/c I love chocolate so much), brownie recipe, again courtesy of Coolbgdog1. All I can say is thank you thank you thank you! OMG.
Ingredients
brownie:
1 c walnuts
1 c dates
1/4 c cocoa pwd.
Directions for brownie mixture:
Food process the brownie ingredients until blended and dry chunky.
Press into a small pan, put aside.
Icing:
2 avocados
1/3-1/2 c agave nectar
1/4 c cocoa pwd
2 T coconut oil
1 T vanilla extract
dash salt
dash cinnamon
Directions for icing:
Put all icing ingredients into blender or food processor, and blend on hi till smooth
Spread icing over brownies and pop in freezer to set for 1 hr. then cut into 12 pieces.
So with this recipe, I doubled up the brownie part. I used 2 cups of walnuts, 1 cup of dates, a half cup of raisins and a half cup of dried apricots. I had to use the raisins and apricots b/c I didn't buy enough dates. I didn't read the whole pie recipe and didn't know I'd be using dates for the crust
and the filling. Improvisation baby! These brownies were so [expletive] good!!!! Omg. Again, my sad eaters agreed.
For the icing I pretty much followed the recipe. I used 1/3 cup maple syrup though. When I tasted it, I thought I would pass out. LOL I wanted to fight myself it was so good! I was accusing myself of putting msg and refined sugar in it and everything. Mmm mmm mmm! Now once I spread the icing, I put it in the fridge and have yet to taste it, but I already
know!! Now, no one tasted the icing except me, but it's for the best cuz they would tear through it...and then go eat some sad shit while all my raw delicacies were gone. That icing was so good, I could double up on the recipe and eat it as chocolate pudding. MMMMmmmm
So that was my rawsome day. LOL After all that, I was too tired to eat and just whipped up a quick smoothie (this idea came from my girl Knix...thank ya much!): some spinach, 2 bananas and a scoop of cacao powder. Now I'm all up and full of energy. Can't wait to feast tomorrow! I hope y'all can see the pictures.
