Happy Thanksgiving

Here is my contribution to the holiday. Please enjoy.

Essene Stuffing
3 cups diced Herb Essene Bread
¼ cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon sea salt

1 In a large bowl, combine diced bread, onion, celery, poultry seasonings and sea salt.

2 Place mixture on Teflex sheet. Dehydrate at 100 degrees for 3 hours.

I'm taking next week off for Thanksgiving. I feel so blessed that my wonderful stepson has entered our lives again and I want to spend this week reflecting on what my family means to me.

I pray everyone enjoys the "day" and has a happy and healthy time. I'll see in a week or so.

Peace,

Terilynn

* I don't know about you, but I couldn't eat just one?

I used to eat dates with an almond in it, but Scott at Raw Denver hooked me up with this recipe and I'm hooked! If you really want to Rock the Casbah, try this recipe with Raw Pecan Butter. Oh, yeah.

The Legally Raw Bar

I love challenges. My pal Bob of Legally Raw gave me a challenge. Make a raw Milky Way candy bar. Well, here you go Bob, the raw food recipe for the candy bar. Enjoy.
