I decided to use it in my ultimate favorite breakfast. My raw carob/cacao breakfast pudding. I have written several times how much I LOVE this morning meal. The other day I made such a nutrient dense, power packed pudding that when dinner time rolled around I still wasn't hungry! I'm telling you, this is the most satisfying raw meal I have had thus far. Here is that recipe:
Raw Power Pudding
by Elizabeth

11/2 large bananas
11/2 Haas avocados
1 T Lucuma powder
1 tsp Nutritional yeast powder
1 T Lecithin powder
1 T Nutiva Hemp Seeds
1 t raw honey
2-4 T of a mixture of raw carob and raw cacao powders
1 capful of vanilla
pinch of sea salt
1 T Gogi berries, soaked (reserve for topping)
1 T buckwheat krispies (reserve for topping)


Process till ,in a small-sized food processor. Top pudding with the buckwheat krispies and Gogi berries. Enjoy!

Well, since I had my new bottle of Coffee Extract from Medicine Flower, I decided to make a Raw Mocha Pudding today. I kept the ingredients simple in this one because I really wanted to experience the flavor of the extract.
I was so excited when my package arrived. It had my extract and a tiny sample bar of soap. The soap is wonderful by the way. I have been using it in the shower. That tiny bar of soap really lasts a long time!! It smells so good, makes me hungry...has the smell of oregano almost. Too funny!!

My Wonderful Prizes!!

For this pudding I used the following recipe:

You want to talk about amazing!! This was absolutely wonderful. I am so thrilled that I have this wonderful extract in my pantry. Next month I will be using it in my Raw Cacao Birthday Cake. I can't wait. But until then, I will be making several batches of my Raw Power Puddings using this extract.
~JMJ~ Today I am grateful for the evening I had last night, floating around on my raft watching our three youngest swim. Oh how I love summer evenings. I am going to enjoy each and every last one. Our new homeschool year starts soon and I am not ready to give up our "vacation time" just yet. :) But, I am not worried because any time we need a break, Mom says we can and we do it!! Oh the freedoms of schooling your own children. It is a beautiful thing!

Seed Yogurt

The other day I came across an article, by Thomas Stearns Lee, NMD, which contained recipes for seed cheese and seed yogurt. His recipes call for Rejuvelac and sunflower seeds, but as usual I improvised and used things I had on hand and created the same end result!  I decided to make the savory Seed Yogurt to be used as a base in my salad dressings or sauces. It was incredibly easy and delicious.  ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ Pumpkin Seed Yogurt By Elizabeth @rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (or raw sunflower seeds) 1/3 cup raw sesame seeds 8 ounces of filtered water 2 vegan probiotic capsules Pinch of Real Salt 1 tsp fresh lemon juice Soak the seeds for 6 hours.

Raw Vegan Spring Rolls

RAW VEGAN SPRING ROLLS By Elizabeth www.rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com Yesterday was another fun day of creating raw, vegan recipes. I was determined to make an alternative to rice paper wrappers when making spring rolls. The texture of this raw, red cabbage is amazing! I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. It is a simple two step recipe to tenderize the red cabbage all the while preserving the essential enzymes and nutrients that raw cabbage possesses. The many health benefits of raw cabbage motivates me to always try and eat it uncooked. But sometimes I prefer it soft vs crunchy, and here is the perfect way to enjoy it.  The first step was to cut out the tough core at the bottom of the cabbage. I then cut about a third of one side off so I could more easily separate the cabbage leaves. Next I placed 7 cabbage leaves in a square glass dish and filled it with water. I then placed this dish in the very bottom of my Excalibur dehydrator.  On the top rack I

Simplifying the Concept of Proper Food Combining

Watch Dr. Clement from Hippocrates Health Institute discuss food combining in a very simple way. His explanation is the one that really stuck, I get confused by the fancy food combing charts out there. He gives you the nuts and bolts of proper combining. Enjoy! Please note that I am terrible at food combining. I eat things together that shouldn't go together, because they taste good together, with the exception of melons; I only eat melons alone!!! I cannot have them with anything else or I double over in pain and bloat. I am a work in progress and some day I will practice proper food combining. If you'd prefer to red about food combing, just look at this info I found at http://www.raw-food-health.net/Raw-Food-Combining.html Raw Food Combining: Your Options Your options for raw food combining fall into 11 categories based not on culinary classifications, but on the actual composition of the food. If you're eating well, though, there are only really eight c
