Our Vitamin D is Back

I don't have much to show for eats as everyone in this neck of the woods is crawling out of hibernation and getting social with the increased daylight.  I haven't yet reached the point that I feel comfortable popping out the camera in mixed company.  I have newish friends that don't know the peculiar depths of my food preferences and over the past few days I've eaten things that didn't necessarily jive with me in order to avoid rudeness and starvation.  Sometimes I just don't feel like the lengthy explanation.

The weather has been gorgeous here (mid '20s, no wind, bright warming sun, bluebird skies) and my friend and I skied for hours today.  Some kind soul had groomed a never-ending trail through the woods that was just beautiful.

After our ski I enjoyed the sunset view from my cabin while stuffing my starving face with broccoli and Carrot Miso Dressing from Choosing Raw.  I think it's so enjoyable to dunk veggies in a dip made of veggies. 

That snack was quickly following by a few spoonfuls of raw almond butter and then a fat slice of Sweet Gratitude's lemon meringue pie. 

It was pretty much a raw fast food fest.  I actually had a giant salad for my real dinner a few hours later, so I did manage to get my greens in. 

Question:  Do you have eating preferences that make dining as a guest tricky?  If so, how do you deal?  

If My Cabin was on Fire...

....I would grab this lemon meringue pie.

It may come to no surprise to some of you rawnjas that this recipe is from Sweet Gratitude.  This pie has me licking up every last crumb and dreaming of more.  The sweet/tartness of the center pairs perfectly with the coconut macadamia nut crust.  The texture of the lemony layer is remarkable; identical to a cooked lemon meringue pie, I might venture.  This is achieved through Irish Moss manipulation, which used to intimidate me.  Now I brag about how awesome I am and wonder what life was like B.I.M.  (Click here for helpful Irish Moss prep instructions.)  I think this might be one of my all time favorite desserts.  TH says he likes richer, more chocolatey pies better, but that's crazy talk.

Question:  What's the yummiest thing you ate today?
