Here are the details:
Rawfully Tempting

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:

1 capful vanilla
12 drops of Coffee extract by Medicine Flower
pinch of sea salt
1 T Lecithin powder
3-4 T of a mixture raw carob and raw cacao powders
1 T Buckwheat krispies (for topping)
1 T Gogi berries, soaked (for topping)
*I forgot to put the gogi berries on before I took the picture
Process in a small-sized food processor till smooth. Top with the buckwheat krispies and gogi berries. Enjoy!

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!

Another Salad Dressing Post

-
Today I would like to share some really great raw salad dressings. Wait, aren't all salad dressings considered raw? No they are not. Remember, you have to be very careful about the ingredients you use. Raw salad dressings are as unprocessed as possible. Using ingredients that are as close as possible to their natural state. That is why I choose first cold pressed olive oils, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar and coconut vinegar, fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits. You get the picture. But keep in mind sometimes I will use a small amount of ingredients that may not be truly raw. For example, real maple syrup is heated to reduce the amount of water content and to make the syrup into what it is when we purchase it in jars. And I am pretty sure balsamic vinegar is not raw. I still love the taste sometimes in dressings so I don't mind using a tiny amount. I am not an extreme raw foodist . If I choose to eat something that is not raw I am fine with that. Keep it simple or you set you

My First Post

~ JMJ ~ I am happy to start posting on my new blog. I should introduce myself first. I am a wife and a mother of five children. I home school all of my children for religious and academic reasons. I choose to eat a raw living food diet. I love raw food and how this living food makes me feel. I have been eating raw living foods since November, 2009. My goal is to consume foods as close as possible to the way they appear in nature, the way God created them to be. Here I will share my experiences with the raw food lifestyle and great recipes I make/create each day. I will share raw food recipes, my sprouting adventures, square foot gardening and container gardening, favorite raw food book titles, raw food products, kitchen appliances, and tools that have helped me with food preparation. From time-to-time I just might share some homeschooling thoughts, experiences, ideas, and tips. I will also take time to reflect back on my days and find all the ways I can experience gratitude.

Health Benefits of Sea Vegetables

Elizabeth's Sea Vegetable Salad Lunch yesterday was a fabulous salad made with loads of fresh vegetables and  sea vegetables. I used the Creamy Thai Dressing from yesterday's salad dressing post. I decided to use the red pepper flakes instead of the Thai bird chilies. I like things slightly spicy, not overly spicy. The red pepper flakes gave it just the right amount of heat. I enjoyed this salad so much, I was tempted to lick my plate when it was all gone! If you are trying sea vegetables for the first time you may want to use less than I did in my recipe. I really adore them so my recipe has quite a bit. Alter it to your tastes and I'm sure it will be fantastic. Below the recipe I have pasted an excellent article outlining the wonderful health benefits of sea vegetables. It also points out the one sea vegetable you should steer clear of. Please read it and educate yourself. You will be truly amazed at how healthful these plants are. Here is my
