Raw Questions

Everyone is filling out this cool survey, so I thought I'd jump in with my answers!


raw questions

  1. Favorite Raw Vegan milk? Almond milk! Mmm, I love adding some vanilla bean to it and stevia! Ice cold is best!
  2. What are the top 3 recipes you are planning to make? As soon as I am up to it: Gena's Chocolate Coconut Spread, something from Heathy's ebooks (I plan on purchasing them all!) and some cupcakes from Shannon of Rawdorable!
  3. Most disastrous recipe/meal failure? I'm not a fan of raw marinated mushrooms, I made them once and dehydrated them to warm them up and the next thing I knew I was puking (this was waaaay pre-preggy days!).
  4. How do you organize your recipes? I have a folder with a pug on it!
  5. Compost, trash, or garbage disposal? We have a compost!
  6. If you were stranded on an island and could only bring 3 foods...what would they be? Avocado, Kale and Moonpies! :)
  7. Fondest food memory from your childhood? Dipping Italian bread in my Naunee's sauce while it was bubbling on the stove. She would scream at me! It was fun! :)
  8. Favorite raw ice cream? I've only had one brand, but flavor wise: Chocolate Mint!
  9. Most loved kitchen appliance? Vitamix!!!!!!!!
  10. Spice/herb you can't be without? I love Cumin.. Stevia is a favorite too!
  11. Recipe (Cook) book you have owned for the longest time? Ani Phyos Raw Food Kitchen. Best raw-cookbook ever!
  12. Favorite flavor of jam/jelly? Strawberry! My mom use to make it from scratch! YUM!
  13. Favorite raw (vegan) recipe to serve to an omni-friend? Any raw dessert! You can't go wrong!
  14. Name 3 items in your freezer without looking. Ice cream maker canister, frozen fruit, nuts.
  15. Favorite grocery store? Whole Foods. Or as we call it "Whole Paycheck!"
  16. Food blog you read the most. Everything on my blogroll! I love you all! :)
  17. What is one ingredient that you've become familiar with that you can't imagine you ever lived without? Young Thai Coconuts
  18. Most coveted condiment? Pickles!!! Duh! LOL!
  19. Best food smell? Anything chocolate.. mint or lemony.
  20. Best cooked food memory that you'd like to re-create raw? Cannoli's! I am sure someone much of made them! Oooh or Zepoli! I am an Italian dessert person!

Great answers! I also love the italian desserts cuz they are not real sweet. We had a few italian families we new growing up and whenever we would go visit they would bring out the Italian cookies. Anisette toasts are my fav's and biscotti. YUM!

Linda said...

That's so funny that you don't like marinated raw mushrooms...they are one of my favorite raw treats! To each his own, eh? :P

i love when i read little bits that remind me of my italian heritage. i, too, would savor the bread dipped in warm pasta sauce. my mom would always let me sneak a piece - i was the official 'tester' of sauce. :)
