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!

Incase you don't know what Ten Oaks is all about, I am about to school you. The Ten Oaks Project is a leader in providing innovative and cutting-edge programming that empowers children and youth through intentional magic and play that enhances self-esteem, life skills, independence, leadership and self-confidence. Their programs create safe spaces where children and youth of LGBTQ ( (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, two-spirit, queer) communities don't need to worry about coming out about their family and/or personal identity.
