My Afternoon Salad May 17th

Today I ate a primarily raw, properly food-combined salad for lunch with

Local, organic Community-supported Swiss Chard and Spinach
Organic Millet and Lentils
Raw Organic Walnuts
Local, organic Community-supported chipotle goat chevre
Cayenne, rosemary, thyme, spirulina, salt
Raw Organic Coconut Oil and Coconut Aminos

And it was bomb-diggity. Nice and spicy, and had a lot of other flavors as well. The coconut aminos are delicious they're from a company called Coconut Secret. The local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) veggies are so vibrant and delicious. I feel energized and properly strengthened rather than depressed and tired like I would off of "regular" food or even improperly combined foods.

Rawpple Pie - Raw Apple Pie

I love making desserts with raw foods because they're generally no more than 10 ingredients. I mean you can get fancy and get over 10 but to make something delicious, gourmet and pleasing to all the senses it only takes 5 or 6.

So my roommate graduated college today and I "cooked" her a rawpple pie for her graduation cookout. It took me about an hour of time total. I prepared the crust the day before and the filling the night before and put it together that night.


Crust: So simple
3C Dates and
1C walnuts

Process the dates first until they're JUST about to form balls in the processor. Then add the nuts. Spread coconut flakes, almond flour, I used flax seeds on the pie pan so that you can separate the crust from the pan.

The filling:
2 apples
1/4C walnuts
2tsp cinnamon
2tsp maca root
1Tbls Honey (or Agave, if you'd rather)

Process well until the consistency is desired - I did it on low for about 5 minutes, if that. Scoop the sides - but if you do it on low it should fall back in before you have to.

Slice 1 1/4 more apples and arrange like so:

Voila! Bon Apetit!
