And the winner is...






Happy Giveaway Day!!! I had so many responses for this giveaway that I plan on having another 2 in the very near future!!! A hint for the next one is somewhere in the blog post.. hmm..


Anyway, BITT of A Bitt of Raw is the winner of the
Deni Automatic Ice Cream Maker from CSNStores.com and allbarstools.com!

YAY! I am sending you an email now! Congratulations!


Like I said, more giveaways coming soon! Keep reading! :)

On to food, this was a green smoothie I made for lunch yesterday: Kale, Peaches, Starfruit, an Orange, Banana, Flax, Maca, Goji berries, Coconut milk and Spirulina. T's birthday was Monday, as you all know. So we went out for dinner, T had dessert at the restaurant and when we got home I had this: A Raw Pumpkin Pie! T brought it home from the health food store near our parents house. He was working out of town again, and my favorite health food store was right there! :)
Last night I made a Chickpea Stew. I sauteed some onions and garlic added lots of cumin, curry powder and a dash of Himalayan sea salt. When they cooked down a little, I added a jar of tomatoes, seasoned them with Italian seasonings, let it get hot, then added in 2 cans of chickpeas (I use Eden organics) and some no sodium organic vegetable broth. I let this boil added in some South River Chickpea Miso a little salt and pepper to taste and a big bunch of spinach. This was so warming and delicious!
Congrats again to Bitt!! Have a nice day everyone! My next giveaway might be as soon as Friday, so keep watching!

They don't sell South River Miso at my health-store. I did write a message in the suggestion box two weeks ago though. I LOVE chickpea miso (anything chickpea for that matter). It has the best flavor, and it doesn't cause hormone issues like soy does. If you mix it with nutritional yeast in the right ratio, it makes a good faux chicken broth too. :)

Nikki- I didn't know they had flavors like that! Sounds delicious.

And eating cooked food and soup and stuff like this, does this make your Crohn's worse? ...in that, are you bloated after you eat no matter what and have trouble digesting? I have been raw for two years and my digestive issues persist on! so annoying, but if eating soups and stuff works for you perhaps it will help me!
