[Whatdidyoudotome]

I don't have a food processer.... What can I use?

[smileyraw]

@Whatdidyoudotome you need one really for the texture, as cauliflower is pretty tough.

I love 0:15 ^_^

BBe what do you do if your kids are allergic to nuts (sometimes I question if these are my kids, lol)

[thelittlelifesaverTM]

I am making this for dinner right now! Looks so delicious! (Btw, I've never heard anyone other than family members use the word 'wonky'. Love that you used that word :)

[genghisgirl]

@thelittlelifesaverTM On any given day you'll hear me say "wonky" "thingamajig" "watchamacallit" "grody" "skeevy" and an array of other words nobody uses anymore :)

[99sra]

That's a great idea for a video! Heard about synchronicity? I was wondering: if I get raw and have to invite sb for dinner, what should I cook (or uncook)? Then you uploaded this video!

[genghisgirl]

@99sra Carl Jung synchronicity? I just googled it... looks cool! What's "sb"... I don't understand the question :) xo

[99sra]

@genghisgirl My bf talks about Carl Jung. I've never read about him but it seems he is more than interesting.

Sb=Somebody. It was just a question to myself actually, a thought. If I have visitors for dinner but want to introduce them to raw, would I find something (=sth -lol) raw but tasty to cook so I won't have to change my habit and they leave satisfied? Then I saw your video which was cool. Please consider to make more videos like this one!

Love!

Mashed cauliflower-yum!! I think even my kids would like that. I've hidden it in regular "warm" mashed potatoes before but haven't given it to them like that-it will be an experiment. And I love that you treat the worms so kindly like they can hear you..haha!!

@veggiekidsblogspot My husband was my taste-tester post-video and he loved it! It'll totally pass the test for "regular" eaters and your veggie kids! xo PS - did you get my response on your blog comment... just checking :)

[jahcandance]

Oooo I can't wait to make that for a raw meal for Thanksgiving. I've actually had mashed cauliflower in the cooked form and it was delicious. Oh and the worms are pretty cute too. Yea I said cute in reference to worms. :)

[genghisgirl]

@jahcandance I think my worms are cute, too. I'm so happy they're having babies!

[amaddox85]

so you didnt really say what it tasted like,besides it didnt really taste like mashed taters. = ) so the cauliflower must overide all the other ingredients i would think. maybe?

[genghisgirl]

@amaddox85 It actually tasted a lot like garlic mashed potatoes. I think I just knew that it wasn't. My husband loved it and totally thought it could pass... especially if it was just warmed (not cooked) a bit in the oven.

[amaddox85]

@genghisgirl ill have to try that out. im just starting a mostly raw diet to ease myself in to eating completely raw. baby weight is not fun or easy to lose! thanks for the recipe!!! = )

[genghisgirl]

@amaddox85 Tell me about it... I had to lose baby fat 4 times!! Good luck! xo

[flypeepshow]

great recipie .. simple .. i think if you would add some rice vinegar or Appall cider vidager with some extra olive oile (WATER),. and cumin., with a pinch of cyan and lime squeeze it wold make a decent salad dressing 2.. nice jobe with your video..stay posted and il stay sexy haha

[Avonlady84]

I loved the worm update! That was an awesome surprise! thanks for the mash potato substitute. looks super yum! :0)

[genghisgirl]

@Avonlady84 I'm glad you liked the worms... people have been asking for an update so I just tossed it in :)

[lindabebe835]

what brand/model of food processor are you using?

[genghisgirl]

@lindabebe835 It's just a plain on Cuisinart food processor/blender combo (I think it about $150) that I picked up when I was pregnant (I had big ideas about making all my own organic baby food... ask me if I actually have the time now - ha!)

[MegaRicangirl]

lol. jus curious, why do u have a worm farm ?

[genghisgirl]

@MegaRicangirl Worm castings (poo) is amazing fertilizer for my organic garden. I feed them kitchen scraps and old junk mail, and they make my garden grow! Thanks for your question :) xo

[heartisallwehav]

What do you do with your chickens in the Winter? Are they okay in the coop? Does the coop need to be heated? I live in Southern Ontario and want to build a chicken coop but am worried about the cold winters.

[genghisgirl]

@heartisallwehav I actually had a big mess-up moment with my chickens when I made an attempt at heating their coop in the winter. They're farm animals and do just fine in the cold. However, if you're in a particularly cold climate, look up breeds that are "cold hardy". I get all my great chicken info at backyardchickens[dot]com

[Fogelmiser]

I was just looking for raw pumpkin pie recipes this weekend. I can't decide which to try.

Cauliflower makes a good substitute for rice too. Sometimes I use it in sushi.

[genghisgirl]

@Fogelmiser I found a couple raw "pumpkin pie" recipes, but they looked a little suspicious... (I don't believe they could taste good - haha) I'm a pumpkin pie purist :)

[Fogelmiser]

@genghisgirl Yes I think vegan pumpkin pie is as willing as I'm going to get. I just can't do the dairy and eggs anymore. Allergies. Still looking for the right recipe though.

[MissRawSweden]

Awesome :)

[genghisgirl]

@MissRawSweden Thanks!

[henryblazer20]

why are you growing worms?

[seygra20]

@henryblazer20 For compost purposes, i suppose. Worms help balance the nitrogen content in soil

[genghisgirl]

@henryblazer20 Their castings (read: worm poo) makes amazing fertilizer!

[marykateashley501]

cauliflower can be eaten raw? :P does it smell... green? or in this case... yellow? :P but its looks delish!

[genghisgirl]

@marykateashley501 It doesn't smell icky at all! It's quite delicious and I eat it raw all the time (especially with some yummy dip). Try it, trust me - it's good.

[humrose]

Looks yums Bex! Will have to try this sometime

[genghisgirl]

@humrose Let me know how it goes if you do! xo

[TheCraphater]

it does look like the real thing going to give it a try!♥♥♥

[genghisgirl]

@TheCraphater It was soooo easy. You should definitely try it!
