† Cross †
My birthday is next month (Dec. 18th) and on my cleansing diet I can't eat grains, beans, cooked nuts, cooked fats (except coconut oil), dairy, Sugar or cooked fruit. And I don't particularly like dried fruits. I eat mostly raw though I've been known to cheat and make soups and whatnot :) Mmm.. soup. I don't even own a dehydrater or other funky raw foodie tools. :(
So I'm a bit bummed I won't get to have a birthday cake or ice cream. Can anyone suggest a birthday treat that will fit into my diet (above)? I've been looking around, and the only thing I can find are fruit plates. How pathetic eh? I'm turning 19, I need something more fun!
Does anyone have any birthday recipe suggestions?

MoreThis is a reply to # 778,861What great recipes!! Do you have children (you may be too young, yet, to want to be a mother) but I believe Steiner was onto something! Some of his stuff is very arcane- but his schools are pretty wonderful! (especially compared to the public school in the US)
I did not know much about his vegetarian reviews until I read your link...
I think the Gerson Therapy is the way to go-but I did love that fruit edible bouqets also

This is a reply to # 778,855Hey sweetheart! It's actually my 19th birthday next week :) hehe. And I was sort of thinking the same thing, but me and my mom have a little experience in raw cakes (lol). I was her bday a month ago.
Soo... he's a pretty idea, but it'd be best if you have a store by where you live (if you're interested ;o))

Otherwise, let me know what kind of foods you like? Like what's your favorite fruit? And do you have a blender or food processor? I'll think up a recipe. hehe

This is a reply to # 778,855You can make really good milkshakes with frozen bananas, with some other things added for flavor. I like blueberry with coconut milk (or oil). You can make chocolate with carob powder or cocoa powder (if you can have those things). Hazelnut is a good flavor, so is almond. Of course you have to add enough water to get it to blend, but I think these taste really good. I've heard that you can put them back into the freezer to thicken them, although I haven't tried it so I can't vouch for if that makes it thicker or just icy hard.
If you have a little coffee grinder gizmo it can be made thicker and more like ice cream. You can also make ice cream with a champion juicer but I guess you don't have one (I don't either).- Re: So here's a challenge for you!! magic_glitter

This is a reply to # 779,123Sorry for the late reply!! :) Been busy with essays for school *sigh*
The milkshake idea sounds okay... The problem with those cakes were they involved dried fruits, and dried fruits are a bit icky. Plus I don't want to start having massive amounts of nuts either, since my digestion is a bit sensitive *sigh* lol
Milena, my favourite foods are berries (they'd have to be frozen this time of year) and I like pomegrantes and oranges and grapes.. that's all that's in season right now lol, besides apples and pears, but I really only like the juice of those. Lol! If my b-day were in the summertime I'd have so many more options!!
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY MILENA!!! :D I hope it goes splendiferiously :) :)- Some other ideas (pie) SqueakyClean

This is a reply to # 781,277Hey... do you like apple pie?
Because my aunt makes an excellent raw apple pie. She puts in a few cranberries to add some oomph! You'd be getting a little bit of nuts and maybe dates in some of these recipes, but it wouldn't be much per serving.
Here's some recipes (the 1st one is the one I have tasted)
Raw apple pie:

This is a reply to # 781,287Sooo, my birthday was today! :D hehe, and I made myself a beauuuutiful raw cake. And now I'm gonna tell everyone what it was made of, hehe.
The crust consisted of raw cacao, ground flax seeds, and dates. I can't put exact numbers on it, but I think I used about 8 big medjool dates, about a cup of flaxseed, and maybe a cup of cacao too.
The filling (which was more of a thin layer) was just ground up goji berries and coconut oil. Oh yum! it was sooo good! I love goji berries! hehehe
This is one birthday cake that I felt 0% guilt about eating :) hehehe.
Hey Magic Glitter, I have an idea for your cake :) hehe. Take your favorite nut and mix it with some agave nectar to make a crust for your pie/cake. I suggest cashews because they have such a nice taste (hehe), but of course that's a personal judgement ;). Then maybe you could mix up some blueberries, strawberries, and bananas for filling (it'll look so pretty. purpleish-red I bet!). It's interesting that you would get frozen berries... hmmm, I think that here where I live (SE Michigan) we still have fresh strawberries and blueberries. But I guess it depends on what you've got available to ya. Then maybe you could decorate the top with grapes :) Or raisens if ya like them too :D
Oh raw food is so exciting! lol. Hope this helps a little ;)

This is a reply to # 781,994*sings* Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to youuuuuuuuuuuu!!! :D :D :D
With each passing year we acquire so much wisdom!
Your cake sounds delish! I might steal your recipe. I liked you idea for my b-day cake too - I need to go down to my healthfood store and pick up some of the nectar. I've heard it mentioned on CZ several times, but I've never actually used it.
*sigh* I live in Canada - the last time we had local berries was early October. I don't buy the imported stuff, since it's all from Mexico and eww pesticides!! Not to mention it's super expensive. $4 for a teeny container of strawberries!
I loved those fruit bouquet things too - I was thinking of ordering one, but they all contain melon and I can't stand melon. Lol! I'm so picky about everything.
What did you do for your b-day, Milena??- Re: Happy Birthday Milena!!!! Milena

This is a reply to # 782,650Awww, Canada. hehe. I *almost* went to Canada for my birthday. That's the thing here- going to Canada when you turn 19 ;) lol
I actually just went laser tagging with a few friends. No big celebration :)
Thanks for singing to me :D hehehe

This is a reply to # 781,287YUM! These look great. Thanks for sharing them with us! I think the chocolate pudding, using the mousse option, would make a great birthday dessert! It'd probably be thick enough to hold a candle, too. :-) That way, you can avoid nuts altogether.
Milena, thanks for showing us those fabulous fruit creations! What a great idea. If it were all raw, I'd open a store here!
Happy, happy birthday to you December babies!
