If you're gonna have a steak, have a steak

I prefer tenderloin, but a filet will do. Only way to top it is with some foie gras. Can ya tell i'm pms-ing? My body is screaming for iron!

Bee pollen, blackberries and celery

I recently bought some bee pollen and have been experimenting with it. It's flavor kind of reminds me of goji berries and the pollen will dissolve.  I made up this simple fruit salad of finely chopped celery and blackberries (about equal parts) and stirred in some bee pollen. So good! It's amazing how the flavors work together! When i first made this last night i added more celery and it surprisingly remind me of the flavor of blueberry pie! Yum yum :)

How do you cut your mango?

In a fruit parfait of mango, blackberries, raisins, pecans, my RAW chocolate chips and bee pollen.  And what could possibly make it better? Frozen banana puree!!  Uum yum yum...

Cookies!!!

Only a third, ok i admit a quarter of the cookies actually made it to the cooling and storage stage. I have a weakness for chocolate chip cookies! !! If you don't, i'm sorry,  you're not human. ;)

The chips are done, time to make cookies!

So when making RAW chocolate chips cookies, it is really hard not to eat them before they're out of the dehydrator. Since they're RAW there's no such thing as raw cookie dough ;)

RAW chocolate chip experiment

I blended 1 large avacado with honey, cocoa, coconut sugar, coconut oil, vanilla, and tamari.
Piped chips on my dehydrator trays and hopefully these will firm nice and tasty for some RAW chocolate chip cookies :)

Fruit "cobbler" porridge

For breakfast i made a hybrid of fruit salad and porridge which resulted in the flavors of a spring fruit cobbler. Yum way to start the day!
For the porridge i boiled some buckwheat, goji berries and already cooked amaranth with some flax seed milk, salt, cinnamon and ginger.
Then I chopped up a small Clementine, some blackberries and some soaked almonds in a bowl. Poured the porridge on top and enjoyed.  I'd like to think it tasted like the sun breaking in on a dew filled morning. Refreshing!
I suppose a little honey and/or lemon would be good additions. I generally don't like my sweets very sweet. But if it calls to you, go for it! Your soul requires it ;)

Mocktail

A yummy no booze refresher with a kick!
If you like ginger and the robustness of kombucha, you will for sure enjoy and won't miss the booze ;)
I blended (approximately measuring):
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 large wedge of lemon without rind
1 tsp chopped fresh ginger
1/2 tsp powder ginger
1/4 kombucha
Then poured that mixture with more kombucha in martini glass full of ice.

I think putting some herbs in there, like mint would be good too. 
The kombucha i used was my own brew flavored with lemon and lavender, but experiment!!

RAW "dolmas"

I came accross a recipe for dolmas and was inspired to attempt something with what i had in the pantry. I didn't have grape leaves so i used spinach leaves that i seasoned with some apple cider vinegar, mustard seed oil and salt. The filling i made from food processing:
Sprouted chick peas
Onions
Celery
Raisins
Sumac
Garlic powder
Lemon juice
Flax seed oil
Salt

The dip i made from:
Soaked almonds, sunflower seeds and pecans
Sprouted chick peas
Saffron
Lemon juice
Salt
Garlic
Maybe nutritional yeast? I can't remember
I think that's all

It was soooooooo goooood!
Would have been better with grape leaves, but that's not really something i keep on hand. But i just might for now on!
