Lasanga, chocolate cookies and lemon pie...finally getting my hands dirty in the kitchen again...

Last week my friend Marie-Lies came here to visit me at Kripalu. It was great having her here and while she was here I ate completely raw. She inspires me to eat completely raw! One night we did a short raw food prep demo for some of the other volunteers. We made chocolate pudding out of avocados, raw chocolate and agave nectar. It is so simple and so delicious. On her last night here we got together with the raw chef here at Kripalu made this raw lasagna and lemon pie. The lasanga was so amazing. I made the lemon pie and although it was good it was a little too rich for me. The filling was just made out of coconut butter, agave, and lemon. It was a little heavy on the coconut butter. Overall, it was nice having Marie-Lies come to visit me and I know many of the volunteers here enjoyed getting to know her as well! It was nice for me to get my hands into a kitchen again and make something. Although, lately I have been making lots of chocolate pudding and have been really happy with this dessert!
