This is my second Associate Chef Catered dinner I have attended this year. It is always the same menu, but the difference is how each class changes the arrangement to make it their own, especially the dessert.

Me in May 2007

Me in May 2011

I couldn't let this week pass without acknowledging that Wednesday was my 4th Anniversary at the Daily Raw Cafe, especially after last year's blowout. This year is a bit more low key.

I am taking a brief trip down memory lane at my favorite posts at The Daily Raw Cafe.

They are in no particular order, just fun times all around.

The Cyber Celebration featuring two days of wild and crazy fun. I had a blast making the videos and sharing all the recipes.

Blackbird Naturals' review
Valentine's Day Celebration. Chef Vinnette Thompson threw down something amazing. It was one of the best Valentine's ever!

Everything I Ate Raw is pretty fun.

How to Sprout Garbanzo Beans is a handy post and it's the most viewed page on the site.

Even though it was kind of sad, I like the way the mushroom soup provided much needed comfort after the breakup of a sister-friend.

Cheeze and Broccoli. Yummy.

I loved the early days of the blog, when I was creating the foods by the seat of my pants and praying they would at least taste good. It was a very special time of creativity.

Gotta love candy, especially the Legally Raw Bar.
