Earth’s Northern Hemisphere contains most of the planet’s land and roughly 90% of it’s human population. In agrarian terms this means that food is planted in the spring, grows throughout the summer, and is harvested in the fall. The general idea of Thanksgiving or ‘Giving Thanks’ at harvest’s end is so ancient as to be pre-historic. Dates have changed only a bit from culture to culture depending on the onset of winter, yet the theme is the same. It is a time to pray for peace and give thanks for our bounty and many blessings.
And it’s a time to share with friends and family those ‘extra special’ foods!
At Diet For Living Center we gather with our Raw Food MeetUp friends. Our holiday table is a bit free form. Bring whatever dish you like, as long as it is a dish made from raw plant based ingredients. For many of us it is a learning curve, so I am always amazed and impressed with everyone’s effort.
The day after our gathering we were delighted to find an email notification that our MeetUp group had made the Home Page of the National MeetUp group site. They had used a picture taken at our ‘Giving Thanks’ MeetUp with our member Stephanie’s amazing all plant based raw cheese cake. I want to share the link for the recipe she used in case you want to make it.
