Cacao Fudge, Salads, and more Salads...

Lunch Time~

I've been in the kitchen most of the morning and had to take a break.  I will juice after lunch, clean up and go work out.  :)

On my plate today is: Beet Salad topped with raw sunflower seeds, Cauliflower Salad, Kale Salad and on topside is another one of Ani's Hemp Sun Burger's with Mustard and a piece Sesame Flax Bread.

BEET SALAD

2 bunches of beets~peeled and shredded

6 garlic cloves

1/4 c. olive oil

1/4 c. lime juice

sprinkling of ground clove

salt to taste

Saving my tops for juicing

KALE SALAD

2 bunches of curly kale

1/2 red onion

handful of raw pumpkin seeds

4 garlic cloves

1/4 c. lime juice

1/4 c. olive oil

3-4 T. Bragg's LIquid Amino's

Set up for Juicing~

2 bunches of beet tops

5 cukes

3 bunches of celery

bowl full of kale stems, broccoli stems, cauliflower greens

I will add approx. 1 c. lemon juice

5-6 granny smith apples

big piece of ginger

and enough stevia to taste good to me

I'll be juicing my greens in my Greenstar...and the pulpy stuff in my Jack..you can see my nut milk bag in the pulp catcher...it is quicker this way and it keeps for about 3 days

Cheezy Kale Chips

2 bunches of Kale washed and large stems removed

place in a large bowl

In a blender or Vita-Mix blend until smooth & then pour over kale and massage until completely covered

1/4 c. Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar

1/4 C. Bragg's Liquid Amino's

1/2 c. filtered water

*you may need a little more water~you need to be able to pour this out of the blender

but you don't want it runny.

3/4 c. Tahini

1 garlic clove

2 T. dried onions

1/4 t. sea salt

1/4 c. nutritional yeast

Place on Teflex sheets in dehydrator and dehydrate for 6 hr @ 115 degrees.

 

Dessert....

Cacao Fudge

1 c. raw walnuts~grind into flour

add: 1 c. pitted dates...one at a tim until mixed into nut mixture

add: 1 c. raw cacao

dash of salt

process until it sticks together...you may need to add a bit of water to get fudge consistency..add very slowly though, so you don't get a sticky, globby mess..

top with cacao nibs and place in fridge for 1 hr.

I also made a batch of Carob Fudge by substituting carob in place of cacao...

I made this for my hard core raw vegan son.... :)
