Nanaimo & Qualicum, Raw Potlucks

What do you see to the left? That would be chili, cornbread, 'rawmesan,' asparagus & tomatoes with cheesy sauce, & a spicy Thai salad. This, dear foodies, was my first raw potluck experience in Nanaimo.
I'd been to one potluck at Rawthentic Eatery in Qualicum, but was previously unaware of the ones in Nanaimo up until now. Am I stoked? Yesss!! :D

Sprouted lentil salad, mushroom and spinach quiche...oh, so many flavours that tickled the tastebuds. We gathered at Wellington Hall to share our delicious dishes.

Curried stew, 'cheese' perogies, & 'tuna' wraps also helped satisfy my hungry tummy :)

What's this? Dessert? Ohhh yes!! Shortbread cookies, 'Please More' bars, apple pie, fruit crumble...I brought Ani Phyo's Raspberry Ganache Fudge Cake (minus the berries), but it's not pictured. Another dessert not pictured was "percinammon": persimmons blended with cinammon! Delicious.
If you're in the area, you should definitely check out the monthly raw potlucks in Nanaimo :)

At Rawthentic Eatery's potluck in Qualicum? We had borscht w/ garlic bread, their famous kale-licious salad, 'stirfry,' fruit salad, & a festive holiday salad.

...But what about dessert? :) Chocolate hazelnut truffles, 'Before 8' chocolates, chocolate almond coconut pudding, and my raw brownies (secret recipe, for now).

And right now, for the holidays, Rawthentic is offering 'Qualicum Beach Bars'! Verdict? They taste just like the 'real' thing <3

much peace, love, & food <3
