Raw Mashed Potatoes and Mushroom Gravy

Hello Every one,

I prepared a side dish that I loved as a child. My mom could never make enough of this for me. It was Mashed Potatoes and Gravy made with real butter. After going raw, the craving for butter is gone. A stick of butter looks weird to me now. The Raw version of my favorite dish, taste like the real thing. The Mushroom Gravy adds more flavor to the dish. During the winter time I make sure my vegetables are at room temperature. Can't eat cold food in the winter.

I have worked very hard to create a spice combination for raw vegetable soup. This blend of spices can be added to any vegetable combination. I used Bok Choy for the first time instead of Spinach. Also, left over Rice Pilaf was added to the soup. Came out interesting.

Being a Raw Foodist has increased my knowledge of what I am putting into my body. This Chinese Cabbage had very little use in my kitchen. I took it for granted in the past when I was cooking. Now it is part of my nutritious eating habits. This Chinese cabbage is loaded with powerful antioxidants like C, A and K. There is 7 percent of the daily minerals, A daily dose of calcium, 5 percent of potassium and 6 percent of manganese.
