    Yum, spaghetti squash! They're definitely my favourite noodles to use. 🙂

    To answer the questions:
    1. I'm not a raw foodist by any means, but I still eat a lot of raw food. Today for lunch, I had raw spaghetti noodles, but with a tomato and lentil sauce. I eat a lot of salad veg and I adore fruit, but I could never give up rice or roasted vegetables. 🙂
    2. I have no idea! I come from Australia, where Halloween isn't a big deal. This year I'll be in Germany, and I haven't got any clue whether people here celebrate, so I guess I'll find out. I'm just happy that I can get winter squash at the markets!
    3. I'm not huge on reviews, because most of the time they're of products I'll never use or eat, or of suppliers that are too far away to bother with. I can understand that people are happy to write them in exchange for free items, etc, so fair enough really.

    1. Working on incorporating more raw options into a vegan-inspired base
    2. Hallowe'en is mostly for small children; it's a great chance for them to dress up and parade. The harvest moon is more of a personal celebration time for me.
    3. Bloggers who get free supplies produce biased reviews. They are inherently biased so the reviews are unreliable/tainted.

    I'm okay with bloggers reviewing products. I'm sure that a blogger can feel obligated to point out mostly positive characteristics of any free product they've received, but they are now required to disclose that they received something from the company. So, I will weigh that knowledge when evaluating a product.

    In this case, I'm excited to find a less expensive source of chia seed. It's a product that I'm already familiar with, but my current source only offers single pounds for $8.

    I think some reviews are helpful but I can't recall ever actually buying anything that was reviewed. I recently reviewed some meat free frozen chicken wings. I just really wanted to let everyone know that they were tasty and worth the money.

    My boys are getting too old for Halloween so hopefully just a nice evening hanging out in the drive way with my neighbors.

    For quite a while I was almost 100% raw. But lately I've slipped into about 70-50%. I usually have one cooked vegan meal a day. I'm happy and I feel great. The only thing I try not to slip up on is bread. Most breads instantly make me bloat and feel terrible. Cooked Sprouted grain breads are fine for me to eat and sometimes my homemade pizza dough or rolls.

    Thanks again for the Prints!

    Oh my, I'm looooooving your soup this week! Wonderful combination of flavors and the colors are divine.

    During the summer months (with temps off the charts, day after day, this year), I ate little to no cooked foods. No desire really.

    But now that things have cooled off (thankyoujesus), sure, I'll add in some cooked foods to my diet. I adore soups and baked sweet pototoes + squash.

    I don't really have a number or percent of how raw I am. At this point, I am having something cooked every day or two. It just depends on cravings and hunger levels.

    Not sure what my exact Halloween plans will be. I am going to try to do dog-o-ween with the dogs. 🙂

    I have nothing against product reviews. I disagree with the person who said the reviews are biased. Although sometimes if I can't think of anything nice to say I will just tell the company I'd rather not review it. Usually that's not the case.

    I eat raw spaghetti squash. Just cut in half and then use a fork to shred. It's time consuming, but tasty in salads or with marinara sauce.

    I have to say I'm thrilled to learn about this source for white chia seeds. I much prefer the appearance of the white ones in recipes. My local Whole Paycheck store used to have white chia in the bulk section, and then they suddenly stopped having them. According to a couple of the employees, the company went out of business. The store still carries some really expensive black seeds in the supplement area. The price of seeds at the source you referred to is the best I've seen. Thanks so much for the tip!

  15. Hasta La Pasta = LOL

    the white chias, have never had white chia. only black.

    the cashew soup..omg that looks goooooD! Very awesome!

    and product reviews, YES. I always post what i buy from my hair products to vodka to gum to raw nut butter. It all helps someone, sometime. Sometimes it's given to me, other times i buy it, i post it all. Plus with daily posts, i need to have some "lighter" content, like a chewing gum review LOL

    I eat 85% raw and 15% cooked.
    I don't do Halloween.
    I like the product reviews because sometimes it sends to a product I would not have found otherwise. I don't always trust the review, but it's nice to find new sources and some products I didn't know about.

  17. Your blog is beautiful! 🙂 I love the food in this current post. It all looks divine. I want to taste the soup! 🙂 – & – Thank you so much for listing me in your blog roll. Very sweet of you. I appreciate it immensely. 🙂 Xo!

  18. Well ya got me there with the white chia seeds! Had never heard of them!

    That soup looks gorgeous!

    Halloween is not celebrated where I love, but I just got a little costume for the kitty (it will be a 5 second photo-op)!
