Shalom Sisters!

I made a raw/live strawberry cheesecake this weekend and I must say I am super-frantic! LOL! When making it I didn't know how it would turn out, first because I hadn't made anything like that before and secondly because I had to substitute a couple of the ingredients. But it turned out great!

I will post the recipe asap! I can't wait until you all try it for yourselves! *smile*

Talk soon,
YAHfa

Shalom!

 

As promised, here's my tried and true recipe for Raw Kale Greens!

Marinated Kale

12 cups kale

1/4 cup liquid aminos

½ cup olive oil

1 med tomato

¼ cup diced onion

1tbsp onion powder

2 garlic clove

¼ cup nut. Yeast

(blend olive oil, nutritional yeast and garlic)

**I prepare for folks who LOVE it spicy, so I add "hot" sesame seed oil. You only need a small amount of it. Experiment and enjoy!**

 

*Please note, that while it calls for 1/2 cup of olive oil, I don't use quite that much... so be sure to adjust the recipe as it fits your taste. I know sisters who add red bell peppers, more garlic, etc. So go for it. One thing I guarantee is that it's delicious!

The first day of Spring my son and I juiced together. We did so today, too. We have not juiced in a while. I finally got around to replacing my juicer last week. The soon emergence of spring called upon me and I now have a new juicer. Spring is a time of renewal. When the Winter Solstice came I sowed my seeds. I threw away a lot of the garbage I accumulated from the summer and fall. Garbage both physical and emotional. Spring is here and I am ready to see the fruits and flowers that I planted. I am flowering and feel anew. What is better than a green drink when you are budding and all is budding around you? This morning’s juice consisted of 3 apples, 1 bunch of kale, 2 carrots, and 1 celery stick. LIVE FOODS IS LIVING, LIVE! My son wanted to add this is very healfy for me, LOL.

Have a happy, abundant, and live Spring!

This ice cream is Sooo good! It is very thick and Custardy- Try it- you will love it!

Meat from 2 Young Coconuts2 Cups Milk from the Coconuts2 Cups Soaked Cashews1/2 C Agave Nectar2 Tbsp Coconut Oil/Butter1 Tsp Vanilla Ideally, after blending, you would put this in an ice cream maker, but if you do not have one, just put it into a container and place it in the freezer until it is solid and use an ice cream scoop to scoop it out. It also makes a delicious custard desert. For this, just put it into the fridge for several hours, or overnight. This is a real treat- no one will guess it is egg and dairy free!

These are Very Satisfying and Yummy!

Layer the wrap in this order: Lettuce (any type- I like Romaine, but here I used Green Leaf) Onion Dip (recipe below) Sliced or Chopped Avocado Sprouts(Alfalfa are great for this) *Mustard also makes a nice addition!*Sometimes I add Red Bell Peppers or Tomatoes... anything you love!

.Kalamata Olives and Flax Crackers on the Side.

Onion Dip
1 1/2 Cup Sunflower Seeds
(soaked at least 2 hours)

Chunk of Onion (white)
(depending on how oniony you like it- I use aprox. 3 Lg Tbsp)

Sea Salt (to taste)

Dried Herbs
(such as basil, garlic, oregano, etc)

1 tsp Agave Nectar

Mix in High Speed Blender Until very smooth and creamy

*Any extra seasoning you have, throw them in- the more flavor the better- that is how I prep food!*

3 cups of almonds, dry2 tablespoons of raw carob powder1 cup of pecans, dry2 cups of dates, soaked and stonedJuice of 1 orange1 teaspoon of nutmeg1 vanilla pod5 bananas, chopped thinly and frozen for at least 12 hours4 kumquats1 large mango

Using a loose based round cake tin, cover the base in cling film, and fit to the tin. Cover the sides in silver foil.

Add the almonds, pecans (reserve 8 for decoration), dates, an inch of the vanilla, a sprinkling of nutmeg, the carob powder and the juice of the orange to a food processor. Process gently to start with, and continue until you get a dough-like consistency, but still chunky. If it's not doughy enough add small quantities of water until you achieve the desired result. Place in the cake tin, and flatten down.

It has come to the conclusion that soymilk is not all its cracked up to be, literally. Soy contains tons of problems such as: trypsin inhibitors and hemagluten, which are growth inhibitors, high perentages of phytic acid, which can inhibit the intake of essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc within the intestines. Soy has also been known to cause male infertility, and can increase the chances of developing various types of cancer, especially uterine cancer within women.

This one is a super favorite at RAW classes and restaurants alike. People are amazed at how quick, easy, and delicious this recipe is! It motivates them to go further and to go RAW! This recipe is so refresingly delicious, it's easy to see why.
