Handmade Slow Pesto

by Bam on April 12, 2010

Ok …….. I know it sounds crazy but I swear pesto tastes better the slow way, using a pestle and mortar.

2 cloves of garlic chopped
A big handful of basil leaves, chopped (Greek Basil if you can find it)

Organic Greek Basil seeds (so you can grow your own!)

A handful of soaked and dehydrated walnuts
Juice of 1 organic lemon and a little of the zest
5 or 6 twists of black pepper
Sea Salt to taste
4T raw olive oil

Put basil, nuts and garlic into the mortar and grind with the pestle into a chunky consistency.
Add lemon juice, zest and olive oil and and grind some more. Season with sea salt and pepper.

Serve over a salad of cherry tomatoes and baby greens with finely chopped olives.

>>>>>>>Delicious!!!<<<<<<<

The Controversy about Raw Cacao

by Share on February 28, 2010

Share and Lynn with chaga chocolate candyraw chocolate ingredientsEveryone has an opinion on raw cacao these days and the thing is, …. I still love it! Yes, it is a stimulant. Yes, it is gonna hurt your adrenals if you overdo it. Yes, I still love it. There, I said it. So what is a chocolate loving raw foodie to do? She makes raw vegan choco candy with her raw mate who also loves chocolate and just has a blast and inserts lots of joy in the process. My advice? Eat chocolate (raw or otherwise) in moderation. I call it common sense. But sometimes of course, I misplace mine and the old teenager in me unleashes the force and I find myself wolfing, literally WOLFING down piece after piece of yummy choco candy. Oh the joy of it! Ha!

Hey, it’s better than the m&m’s I used to wolf down right? Definitely.

raw vegan chocolate candy with chagaSo what is in this choco candy?

  • Raw cacao butter
  • Raw cacao powder
  • Raw lucuma powder
  • Raw maca powder
  • Crystal manna flakes
  • Chaga mushroom extract
  • Sea salt
  • Org vanilla extract
  • Date syrup for sweetening (or raw agave nectar)
  • Soaked and dehydrated almonds (from Spain so they are NOT pasteurized!!!)
  • Org raisins

The trick is to keep the butter nice and melted (done in the dehydrator slowly) while you add the rest of the ingredients. I don’t really measure so sorry for the list without amounts. Stick it all in the freezer when you’re done, in 30 minutes you have candy!!! Oh, and please… do eat it in moderation and try not to pig out! They are so good, it’s challenging!

A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. Follow your own path. Be your own guru. Listen to your heart and soul at all times. Even when they cry out for chocolate.
