Can it be that all of my possible dreams may be coming true? Well, maybe not all, but maybe the Vita-Mix! And it gets even better, I might get it at-cost. You ask how and I say, “A magician never reveals her secret.” So, cross your fingers and send out Vita-Mix energy. We’ll find out Tuesday. Now on to food!

So, I realize a lot of my last posts have been cooked food. I have been eating a pretty simple raw diet during the day and then cooked food for dinner. Lots of green smoothies, big lunch salads, fruits and veggies for snacks. It seems with the cold weather sneaking in and all my favorite squashes and root veggies, it’s tough not to cook!

Tonight’s dinner is a cook for yourself night because S and I are running on different schedules. So, I tried another Ani Phyo recipe, actually two. I made a raw veggie burger with her sundried ketchup. Then…sweet potato fries. I am very hesitant to keep publishing recipes, but I know you can find a similar version of the burger and ketchup at Gone Raw. I know frustrating not to have an instant recipe, but her cookbook is fabulous and it would be great on any vegans shelf. But I did just put together the fries, so here that is:

Sweet Potato Fries

1 Sweet potato
1 Tbsp Olive oil
Sea Salt or Kosher Salt

Preheat oven to 425. Slice sweet potato in fry-like pieces. Drizzle olive oil over potato and rub into all pieces. Put potato pieces onto cookie sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Flip them over half way through. Remove and enjoy. Dip in any sauce you would like: ranch, ketchup, maple syrup, the sky is the limit! Like I said, I had made some raw ketchup, which was really good on the veggie burger, but I had to go with regular organic ketchup for the fries. I was just really needing good old ketchup with them.

I know I promise some people Chocomole tonight, but when I got home from class I wanted salty not sweet. So popcorn on the stove was cooked, but Chocomole will be coming soon. If you can’t wait for my review here is where I found the idea. She has great recipes!

STAY TUNED…tomorrow Pumpkin Molasses cookies that were introduced by Heather who found it on Holly’s blog. Blog food sharing is super contagious and addictive. Get ready!
