NOTE: I entered my 26th year more aware of my health and well being than I had ever been in 25 years. Because I started a new life then, and continue new beginings, I thought I would share this post that was originally written on 9.23.08 just after my 26th birthday party... in a different blog that no longer exists. enjoy :)![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnYjWrs94QFv3CsySHl0xNWifk6gphCXOZR3OG47zzxTt0IWC1hLeOEy0CwLwCeQUzB8ja7nAAdSaT8T81y80496fAsf_DVn2J4L-zK1C10xTstD0OyCDRGVA0ZdFWMBAH_6EBTAf_tYQ/s320/CIMG0258.JPG)
In an attempt to have a vegan birthday party (with 100% carniverous attendance), I refused to supply meats and non-foods to my friends. This also meant I, and I alone prepared all of the food.
I made Fruit Sushi Roll-Up that consisted of red bell peppers, carrots, mango, pear, and apples wrapped in Nori and drizzled with a fig coco sauce. They were to die for - and a big hit, might I add. The recipe was inspired by the RAW Cookbook - the un-cook book.
I also offered Hummus & Tabouleh. Garlic Hummus topped with Red Onion, and Regular

hummus topped with olive tapenade. -Of course served with a variety of pita breads and crackers. I will admit that I offered chocolate covered edamame and a small variety of cheeses served with grapes. eek! -I have extra cheese left-over sitting in my fridge. Trash it?I also offered a black bean dip w Jalapeno chips, marcona almonds, and a variety of wines. No birthday cake. :)
