What I Ate on my First Raw Birthday This is a blatant endorsement of the Go Raw Café! (NOTE: if for some reason you cannot view these pictures I'll re-upload them later)
 (Photo #1: raw Lasagna from the Go Raw Café) (Photo #2: "Veggie Cotta" from the Go Raw Café) I chose the "Veggi-Cotta", which were like enchiladas, only with what seemed to be more of an Italian flavoring. The "ricotta cheese" was made from almond paté. My girlfriend couldn't really detect the almond flavoring, but I could detect the subtle nuttiness- I liked it. There was a side dish of zucchini strips with a very well-herbed combination of other chopped-up vegetables. Photo #3: Ginger Brew at the Go Raw Café
I
Idrank 'John's Ginger Brew" (I think that's what it was called). I liked
the strong ginger aroma and flavor, although my girlfriend didn't think
it tasted stongly of ginger at all. Overall, we enjoyed our meals and
wish we could have gotten more for our money. However, we have to admit
that you do get full quickly on these entrées. Neither of us could
finish- especially because we knew we wanted dessert! Photo #5: carob pie from the Go Raw Café
 The carob pie had a rich texture and flavor, and the crust was chewy with a mild flavor (the same crust appeared to be used for both pies). Neither the crust nor the chocolate part were overly sweet. I could tell it wasn't chocolate, which was fine with me- I like carob quite a bit. I tried hard to eat the whole thing but had to leave some behind, it was so rich. And that was despite the fact that I only ate half of my entrée. One of the owners explained that the "mousse" portion of the pie contained only carob, avocados and dates- nothing more! Mmmmm..... _____________________ Thanks, everyone, for all of the nice birthday wishes and recipe ideas and medicinal advice! Because this blog is mirrored at two sites, I'll combine all of the input into a post for all to see at either location - but I can't do it tonight because I've gotta study! _____________________ TODAY'S MEALS There is no tally of points for today- I don't have time to try to figure it out. I suspect, however, that I didn't eat more than a couple more points than I have been eating this week (so I would guess 31 or so points). And that's only because of the fat content from the pie and the almond paté. BREAKFAST/LUNCH Veggie-Cotta Ginger Brew Carob Pie DINNER Remainder of veggie-cotta. OK, and the other half of the lasagna, too! (Hey- she had gastric bypass surgery! Someone had to eat the other half!) SNACKS None Add This Entry To Your CureZone Favorites!
