Blended


The Sweet Tart smoothie from LRF is so good. Better than the candy. I would like one right now.

Minty


I made these Thin-Mint cookies also from Living Raw food last night. They taste good. The inside is very cocoaey. I used cocoa. Cacao powder probably would have tasted better but it called for 2 cups for half a batch!$!$ I did use cacao in the chocolate oil (which is great). These kind of fell apart when I was cutting them which is fine. The Mint Ice Cream sundae in the book calls for broken up pieces of them so I may make that one day. In the meantime these will be in my freezer as a healthy option for when I`m craving chocolate.

Appetizer


This is the Hazelnut Crostini with Caper Bearnaise and Choucroute from Living Raw Food. Instead of a pomegranate reduction I used the balsamic option. It was delicious!

Speaking of buckwheat

I eat this for breakfast many mornings.

It's dehydrated buckwheat with blueberries, goji berries and almond milk. Wow I used a lot of blueberries that day.
Hi Andrea!

Snack


As you can see I am no photographer. These are Buckwheat Treats from Living Raw Food I made last year. I had actually never used buckwheat before. I love the crunchy airiness when soaked and dehydrated and it has such a toasty, comforting taste. These bars were great and I often took them to work for breakfast. The agave/young coconut sauce that binds the buckwheat is delicious! It would taste really good on ice-cream.
