Sweet Potato Salad

(The only cooked ingredient is sweet potato.)

You need raw spinach, tomato, sprouts and other salad ingredients. Steam the sweet potato with ginger and lemon peices. Once cooked remove lemon & ginger, and toss sweet potato in salad!

Add lemon and olive to taste.

I make this all the time. I prefer Raw rye bread...so all of it is raw. (you need to use a fork and knife)
All you need is rye bread, avocado, hummus, and a ton of mixed sprouts

Spread avocado on bread, add sprouts and dollop on hummus.
For extra taste pre spread with horseraddish, add a sprinkle of lime juice, pepper and salt.

Seeds from ¼ sun dried vanilla bean
2 pinches of salt

How to: Blend everything till smooth. Get half the batter and stir in 2-3 tbs. of cacao powder into it. Pour batter in ice cube trays and freeze until frozen. Using a Champion juicer with the blank attachment, feed the juicer the frozen ice cream cubes. Watch how it transforms into soft serve ice cream! Transfer the ice cream into a plastic container and store in the freezer until ready to make ice cream sandwiches.

How to: Process everything in a food processor till fine. Add water if needed. Transfer the batter onto teflex sheets. Spread a 1/4 inch layer of the mixture on each sheet and dehydrate for 6 hrs. at 115 degrees F. Use a round cookie cutter to make the cookies. Place the cookies on the mesh sheets and dehydrate till crisp.

Assembly: Using a spatula put a scoop of ice cream on each cookie and cover with the second cookie. Put in the freezer to harden up before serving. Enjoy!

This is a cute recipe!

Angel Hair pasta with Marinara

Use the spiral slicer on the zuchinis (you can peel them if you like)

blend in food processor:

tomatoes
sundried tomatoes that have been soaked to rehydrate
fresh dates

Strawberry cheesecake

Crust
1 cup brazil nuts (or almonds)
1 cup walnuts
1/2 cup dried figs (or dates)
1/4 cup raisons
2 tbs. of orange juice
pinch of salt

Filling
2 cups raw cashews (soaked for 10 hours)
1 cup almonds or mac nuts (soaked for 2 hrs)
3 tbs. pine nuts
2 tbs. rejuvelac or lemon juice
pinch of salt
1/3 cup coconut water and 3 tbs. chopped meat
1 sun dried vanilla bean or 1 ts. vanilla extract
4 tbs. agave nectar or honey or 7-12 soaked dates

Whipped Cream
1 cup young coconut meat (chopped up)
3 tbs. raw cashews or mac nuts (soaked for 8-10 hrs)
8 soaked dates or 2 tbs. honey (or more if you like it sweeter)
3 tbs. coconut water or almond milk
1/2 tsp. lemon zest
drop of vanilla extract

Topping
1 pint really ripe red strawberries (sliced fine and put into a bowl)
3 tbs lemon juice
1/2 tbs agave nectar or honey
pure water (not tap)

How to: Ok, begin with a round cheezcake pan (spring form pan). Process all the ingredients for the crust. Press the mixture into the pan and set aside (chill in the fridge).
Now the filling. In the vitamix or champion juicer blend/process the cashews and almonds or macnuts untill they are creamy. Put this in a bowl and add the rejuvelac and salt. Mix really well. Put in a nut milk bag or cheese cloth or bowl covered with a towel and leave it out in a warm place (room temp) for 10-12 hrs. Combine this "cream cheez" mixture and blend it with the 1/3 cup coconut water and coconut meat, vanilla bean or extract, agave nectar or honey. Put in the freezer untill ready to use.
Blend all the ingredients for the whipped cream and chill in the freezer
Now for the topping. Take the strawberries and strain them, to get the strawberry liquid from the bowl, mix that with the lemon juice and a little agave nectar or honey. Set aside untill ready to use.

Assembly:
Yay, we're almost done. Ok. Take the spring form pan, pour the filling in and tap the pan down to get all the air bubbles. Layer the slices of strawberries on top and pour the lemon mixture over it. Put the whipped cream in a star tipped pipeing bag and pipe it all along the sides of the cake, or all over. Garnish with extra lemon zest, and put in the freezer for 8 hrs.

Make a strawbery sauce to go with the cake.
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 tbs. lemon juice
1/2 cup water or orange juice

Blend in a high speed blender, and strain out the seeds. Serve along side the cake.This cake is soo good, it's better to make two. It's a little time consuming but well worth it. Trust me.

The recipe is super simple! Takes about a minute to make & you can use any combination of fruits!

1 cup frozen blueberries
1 banana

Blend in food processor and scoop into a bowl. Add a 1/2 cup of blueberries & stir. You can also blend it up with some agave syrup to make it sweeter! (this is not my photo)

I have tried it with similar ingredients, but this is not my recipe.

I take a few leaves of iceberg lettuce and spread cashew butter on 1/2.

I cover the cashew butter in salt free veggie delight ( www.rejuvenative.com/catalog_vd.htm )

I add sliced avocado and sometimes add salt free kim chi ( www.rejuvenative.com/catalog_sfgkc.htm )

Fold in 1/2 & eat. It's crunchy & a little messy but the taste is divine!

Here it is, I did it open face instead of as a wrap:

I'm really into combining fruits with main meals...I'm into mango and black pepper at the moment, it really goes well together. I don't think we use fruit enough...!

I watch heaps of cooking shows, like Huey, Jamie Oliver, the iron chef..ect...but most of the time I come up with ideas myself!

The secret is in the spread..the flavor is a knock out...

The base is rye...the spread is:
1/2 avocado
1 teaspoon of hot chilli paste
1 teaspoon of white wine, garlic & pepper mustard
2 teaspoons of mango chutney
1 tablespoon of lemon juice, pinch of seasalt
cracked pepper
1/4 diced pickled capsicum
and plenty of chopped spring onion!

Layer on tomato, cuecumber and other ingredients...it's friggn' awesome!
