Calling All Vegans!

So for the last few months I have been baking up a storm and learning all about the world of  vegan goods from my business mama Mandi at Auntie Loo's. The incredible staff there has been nothing but perfection since I started and supportive to no end....now I am over the moon to announce that my raw treats have become available to buy at Auntie Loo's.

That's one proud little Vegan!

So now you know, get 'em while the getting is good!

Don't forget to check these babes out!
Puurrrr, puuuurrr!

Flax Seed (finely ground)
Almonds

First make sure to grind your flax seed really fine. Next add the rest of your dry ingredients and blend until you have a flour-like consistency. Now you can add the rest of your ingredients and blend on pulse until everything is well mixed. And there you have it!

Sunbathing Done Right!

My lush-like ways...
Got the best of me again!

This was taken half-way through a day of groceries and sunshine!
And yes, note the forty pounds of bananas lying beside me,
They're all mine!

Blackberry Buckle!

Bliss...
Let's spend some time getting to know this little gal.

Filling:
Blackberries
Agave Nectar


Blend 1/2 of your berries with some Agave Nectar and then toss in the other 1/2 as full berries, so you have all kinds of wonderful textures. Next, I dehydrated the filling on it's own for two hours or so...


Crust:
Almonds
Macadamia Nuts
Shredded Coconut
Raw Sugar
Sea Salt
Coconut Butter

First, finely grind your nuts and shredded coconut, now you can add everything else. A tiny spoonful of Coconut Butter is more than enough, it just gives your crumble a more thick and creamy texture. Also, feel free to add Agave is you need your crust to be sweeter. Once it's ready sprinkle it over your filling and dehydrate for another three to four hours. If you don't have a dehydrator, simply skip that step!

And now it is time, get hungry quick!

Making the perfect appetizer...

Making something bite-sized and delicious is no longer a task,
Check out these little money makers!

Cucumber and Dill never looked so good...


Cracker:
Flax Seed
Sunflower Seed
Dill
Garlic
Carrot
Onion
Sea Salt
Pepper
Water (just a touch)


Blend on pulse until everything is well mixed and sticking together good. I rolled the batter out, just coat things lightly with water to keep it from sticking. I used the top of a cup as a "cracker cut out" that way all my crackers were the same size. Then I dehydrated them for about 4-6 hours depending how thick you make them.

hello beautiful!

Filling:

Avocado

Cashews (soaked)

Dill

Sea salt
Olive Oil

Lemon

Blend until really creamy. The avocado and cashew actually mix genius together giving the perfect consistency to spread.

Topping:

Cucumber (obviously!)

And there you have it...

The perfect appetizer, ENJOY!

How to make good salad...

One thing I find somewhat devastating is when people think that salad is boring. No, no, no my dear sweet friends this is not the case. Salad is limitless, it just takes a creative mind and more than sliced cucumbers to do so. This is my "favorite" salad at the moment. It always changes, but for now....she wins!!

Fresh Sexy Lettuce Leaves


Toppings:
Heirloom Tomatoes
Fuji Apples
Avocado
Portobello Mushrooms
Cucumber
Sundried Tomatoes


Slice it, all over your bed of greens.


Dressing:
Stone Ground Mustard
Olive Oil
Agave Nectar
Lemon
Water
Ground Pepper


Stir, stir, stir!


Bacon Bit Topping:
Sunflower Seeds
Garlic
Sea Salt
Basil
Lemon

Blend on pulse, sprinkle over your salad. Top with dressing.
Now you see.... thats all it takes and you're loving salad all over again!

Sundae Magic

Ooooooooh child, this is by far my favorite way to spend any afternoon. Indulging in delicious raw, vegan ice-cream....Who would have thought!!

Ice Cream:
Frozen Bananas
Cacao Powder
Raw Sugar
Vanilla Bean


Garnish:
Peanuts
Coconut

Raisins


Blend ice cream ingredients on pulse to break up your bananas.
If they are really, really frozen you may need to add some water to help them blend.
Once velvety and wonderful, garnish.
You will not regret a thing!
