A few of Jan's Thanksgiving recipes
Before I went RAW, two of my favorite dishes at Thanksgiving were dressing and pumpkin pie. So I decided that I wasn't going to let a little thing like going raw keep me from enjoying them this year .... After much research I have come across a couple of recipes that I will be making this year and wanted to pass them on......
Raw Pumpkin Pie
Crust
2 cups pecans or walnut
1/2 cup of soaked dates
dash of seasalt
Blend the ingredients in food processor of high speed blender, then evenly distribute in the bottom of a pie plate.
Pumpkin Pie Filling
2 cups shredded pumpkin, butternut squash, or sweet potato flesh
1 cup soaked dates
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. freshly diced ginger
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. coconut oil
Dash of vanilla
•1/4 cup almond milk or water to help blend
If you donʼt feel like shredding the pumpkin by hand, simply cube and place in a high speed blender or food processor until itʼs nicely chopped, then add rest of ingredients and blend till smooth/ might need a little more liquid-pour into pie crust and chill for 30 min.

Thanksgiving Raw Dressing
