Yesterday I got together with my friend Marie-Lies and we made a raw pasta dish and we made Ani Phyo's chocolate raspberry cake. The pasta dish was so so but I really liked the cake. Raspberry and chocolate is such an amazing combination! This is the first time I have ever made a raw vegan cake and it was yummy. I have started a 60 day raw food challenge for myself. This is day 2 of my challenge. For the most part I want to focus these 60 days on eating close to 80 10 10 although I will make some exceptions for special occasions. Please stay tuned to find out how my challenge is going and have a good day.
i love how you posted the cake and then said you were going 80-10-10. :-)
ReplyDeletethe folks i know (in person not online) who are 80-10-10 definitely eat some treats at potlucks. they have been doing this a long time and i think that wiggle room keeps them happy and also helps with socializing.
when i said potlucks i mean raw potlucks.
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks so yummy. I really like the 80 10 10 concept. I'm trying to learn all that I can about it.
ReplyDeleteRaw potlucks? Oh that sounds wonderful!
Bitt of Raw, I agree, for the most part I will focus 80 10 10 but of course once a week or so it is fun to have something a little bit different :-). Thanks for the comment as well free one! Overall the cake was superb and didn't last longer than a day:-).
ReplyDeleteI know you can do it April! Looks like you're off to a yummy start. That cake looks delicious! Of course anything chocolate gets my attention : )
ReplyDeleteWhat's 80 10 10?
ReplyDeleteThank you fitness freak! Yes, chocolate is awesome!
ReplyDelete80 10 10 is eating 80 perfent of calories from fruits and veggies and one of the 10' is from fats (avocaods, nuts, etc). I just have a tendency to overdo the nuts and fats.
mmm i want a big slice of that cake!=)
ReplyDeleteI will give you a virtual slice of cake. How is it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post and for enjoying my favorite recipe ever. My next book is out soon...May 3rd. Ani's Raw Food Essentials is my first hard cover, and it's a huge book with over 250 recipes. we opted for 2 color printing, with color inserts, so the price point for hard cover is only $27, rather than $45. My goal is to help as many people as possible with easy, accessible raw food recipes. Please check it out. I hope you'll enjoy it! thanks again
