Week 3 CSA Share and Mimi Kirk's Raw Cookies!

The picture above is my full CSA share with the exception of some missing strawberries. I was cleaning them when I realized I had not taken my pic for the week's share.

Starting in top left corner and going clockwise:

Purple kale

bag of mixed salad greens

lemon balm & apple mint

sorrel (is hidden)

chives

parsley

green ice lettuce

asparagus

snap peas

strawberries

This picture includes more of the same.  I was generously gifted by a friend of ours that will be leaving the country to go on a mission trip.

8 mini sweet peppers diced

1 bulb of garlic

handful of diced celery

EVOO

lemon juice

Bragg's Liquid Aminos

drizzle of toasted sesame oil

Mimi Kirk's book, "LIVE RAW" ~  came in the mail last week!....it was autographed and a special dog tag necklace was included.

Mimi was voted the sexiest vegetarian over 50 years old in 2009!  In fact Mimi is 72!

Great book Mimi! The pictures are gorgeous and the slick pages are wonderful to have while working in the kitchen...just in case of a spill.

This book is full of yummy recipes and tons of information.

I caught Mimi's Video a couple of weeks ago on how to make raw cookies...so I HAD to make them.

I modified my recipe by using coconut butter instead of coconut oil and added vanilla.

I ate too many!

I've posted Mimi's how to video below. You can find Mimi on Facebook or at her site Young on Raw Food

Enjoy!
