“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 [...]

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. [...]

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!
Chocolate-Hazelnut Milk.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup raw hazelnuts
1/2 cup well-packed pitted dates

2 handfuls micro herbs
2-3 Persian cucumbers (chopped into small pieces)

Roma-Kale Salad

Although this is a simple kale salad, I still wanted to include it since I used specific ingredients to make it have the flavor that it did. Ejoy!
Ingredients:
4-5 leave Dinosaur Kale (chopped in strips)
4-5 leaves Romaine lettuce (chopped in strips)
3 small Roma tomatoes (chopped in quarters)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
3T hemp seed
drizzle Bragg’s Sesame Ginger Dressing

Rawsta Pasta with Spicy Marinara Sauce

It’s so hard to give my raw pasta dishes names, since the ingredients are basically the same…lol. However, this particular one is all about the sauce, and the nut cheese. I really love the flavor of the sauce, which goes great with the greens in this dish. You can use the sauce as a dressing [...]

Refreshing Green Hawaiian Smoothie

Well, I make a lot of green smoothies, and even though most of them have similar ingredients, it only takes one or two items to make it taste different and special. This one I made tonight, and it was so refreshing, smooth, and super delicious! It reminded me of being in Hawaii because of the [...]

Berry Cheesecake

In addition to making the bread this weekend, I also came up with this berry cheesecake, so that my son and I could continue practicing with video taping me preparing food and presenting. I wanted to use up some of the coconut meat I had, and fresh berries I bought, so here it is – [...]
