Saturday the Sis came over and hung out for a while, and I of course took advantage of her [again] and had her assist with writing down recipes while I scurried around my kitchen like a mad-woman. It was a great time! I love that girl.
The other day when I was at Eureka Natural Foods, in their tiny rawfood section I noticed a bag labled "Cheesy Kale Chips". I grabbed the bag and looked at the ingredients and thought to myself: "I can totally make these!" So...I did. And the outcome was probably the best rawfood that I've had to date.
Cheesy Cashew Kale Chips:
3/4 c raw cashews
1 tbsp lemon juice
5 tbsp nut.yeast
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1-2 tbsp braggs liquid aminos (to taste)
agave nectar - to taste
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dulse flakes
2 tsp onion powder
3 tsp evoo
Blend above ingredients in food proccessor, adding roughly 1/2 cup of water until you have a fairly creamy consistancy - but not "runny".
In a bowl drizzle Cheese sauce over kale, toss kale until it's evenly coated in sauce, place chips in dehydrator for 18-20 hours, or until crispy
The next yummy wonderful snack food that I whipped up was a savory flatbread/cracker. My only mistake with the flatbread was that I didn't oil my dehydrator trays so instead of big whole pieces of flatbread I had broken smaller pieces [silly me]. But I've never been a huge fad of "bread" anyways, so this worked out just fine for me.
Nut'n Veggie Flatbread
(this recipe yields a lot, so you may want to cut it in half)
This recipe works best if you proccess the wet and dry ingredients seperately.
Wet Ingredients:
1 large zucchini (grated)
2 med. carrots (grated)
4 scallions (green onion)
4 small stocks of celery
2 tbsp lemon
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1 heaping tbsp garlic
3 tbsp evoo
2 tbsp agave nectar
2 tbsp braggs
---Pulse wet ingredients, then place into a bowl---
Dry Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 c raw sunflower seeds
1/2 c raw pumpkin seeds
2 tbsp onion powder
1/2 c nut.yeast
1 tsp paprika
2 tsp dillweed
1 tbsp dulse
2 tsp ground caraway seed
1/4 c ground flax seed
In a bowl combine wet and dry ingredients, for best results mix with a hand blender.
Spread evenly on *oiled* teleflex sheets, dehydrate over night, 20-24 hours.
And last, but certainly NOT least...my recipe for the best hummus evar --- and it's raw!!
