“Get Well” Brad Shake

My son has come down with the flu, and has been craving orange juices. I wanted to make him an energizing shake that would not only fill his craving needs, but would energize him, and kick-up his immune system. I wanted something simple too. The other day I was viewing one of Jennifer Cornbleet’s video [...]

Carob-Cacao Cream Pie

This pie recipe is quite similar to a few pies I have posted in the past. However, the emphasis is on the use of carob, and a few other variations. This pie is quite sweet, so a little goes a long way! I hope you like it.

2 bananas, peeled
2 large Medjool dates, pitted
¼ cup pineapple chunks
sliced raw almonds, (handful)

Super-Crunch Cacao-Cream Pie

It’s been a while since I made any chocolaty pie desserts. So here’s one I think you will really like. I made it up today, when my food processor broke – yes, I said my food processor broke. Fortunately I have a blender with a smaller food processor attachment. That’s how I was able to [...]

Cacao-Carob Super-Charged Cookie Balls

I just want to apologize for the delay in posting a new recipe this week. I originally was planning to post a delicious super-charged, chocolaty smoothie on Sunday, but was temporarily “banned” from posting on my blog. Since I didn’t bother to write the smoothie recipe down anywhere, I lost it somewhere in my brain. [...]

Raw Sandwich with Tangy Tomato-Herb Nut Cheese

Tonight my son felt like eating an all raw meal (how sweet for me!). So, I decided to make him a simple raw sandwich. Since he likes cheese and spreads, I decided to make a nut cheese. This one is similar to those I’ve made before, except I added tomatoes and nutritional yeast. The flavor [...]

Carob-Oatmeal Raisin Balls

I’ve really been into hazelnuts lately. These cookies are so yummy. They remind me of PB&J cookies, but better. You don’t need to refrigerate these either – unless you want to. You can roll them into balls, or make flat disk-shaped cookies – you decide.
Ingredients:
1 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup raw hazelnuts
1/3 cup raw oats
1 1/2 [...]

Chocolate-Hazelnut Milk, Smoothies and Shakes

I’ve been testing out some more recipes from Ani Phyo’s book, Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen. Since I’m a big smoothie gal, I decided that I wanted to create my own chocolate milk and shakes with my own twist. Hope you like them!

Edamame-Cuke Salad

Although Edamame beans should be limited as much as possible, I do crave them on occasions. So, I decided to make this simple salad to enjoy some.

1 cup Edamame beans (removed from pods)
2 handfuls micro herbs
2-3 Persian cucumbers (chopped into small pieces)
3T hemp seeds
2-3 handfuls baby Heirloom tomatoes (chopped in halves)

Raw Chocolate-Chip Disaster Cookies

I tried to create my own raw version of chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Well, it didn’t come out so great – but it still tasted great! Anyway, I made these delicious and simple raw chocolate chips by using raw cacao paste, agave, and pink Himalayan salt. I melted the cacao first, and blended it with [...]
