MMMM Raw Vegan Pancake Love on a Saturday Morning!! MY goodness, this was perfect! They were so super good and pretty simple to make. I woke up early, so these were almost ready by the time Michael woke up, perfect timing!! I love that so many foods can be easily made raw! These were so satisfying and fun to make & eat!

Blueberry Flax Pancakes recipe from Rawmazing

1/2 C flax seeds (ground)
1 C flax seeds (not ground)
3 T coconut oil melted
1/2 C agave
1/2 C water
1 C blueberries
1/4 C coconut

Mix all ingredients. Dehydrate at 145 for one hour, flip and then dehydrate for 30 minutes at 114.

Marisa’s Tips: I would suggest using a coffee/spice grinder for the flax seeds. It grinds them in seconds!! Plus it makes so much less of a mess than pulling out the Vita-mix or a food processor!

Also for the coconut I used dried coconut (ground in the coffee grinder as well) and found the batter a little runny, so I doubled the amount.

Totally drizzle with maples syrup! This made them even more wonderful!!

Peanut sauce

Shocker! I am making Zucchini Noodles 🙂 They are just so good and there are so many sauces you can serve with them! Tonight I made Natalia Rose’s  Delicious Amazing Raw “Peanut” Sauce from her The Raw Food Detox Diet Book. It really tastes super peanuty to me, but there are no peanuts in this sauce. Raw peanuts are really hard to find although they are available.

I love that this makes a full 2 cups of sauce, so we have enough for tonight for dinner and more for salads for lunch tomorrow! SO awesome and tasty!!

Males 2 cups

1 cup raw almond butter
2 tablespoons fresh ginger
1/2 cup water (to thin)
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons Nama Shoyu soy sauce
4 tablespoon sesame oil
2-3 cloves of garlic
1/2 serrano or jalapeno chile

Blend all ingredients at high speed until smooth. This makes an unbelievable dipping sauce for carrots other veggies, and it is amazing as a salad dressing or a sauce over Young coconut noodles.

super amazing corn chips, mmmm

  I am so surprised there was enough of these left to photograph! They are sooooo good! So sweet with a little kick! I have such a thing for chips and salsa and these have mastered my Raw Chips and Salsa need! Happy Munching!!

Super Amazing Raw Jalapeno Corn Chips
makes 64 chips

5 cups of fresh or frozen corn (thawed) kernels
1 cup raw walnuts, soaked for at least 6 hours
1/3 cup ground flax seed (a coffee grinder is great for grinding the seeds)
1 medium, fresh jalapeno, (depending on how much heat you want)
2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

In a food processor combine the jalapeno, corn, walnuts, lime juice, sea salt and cumin and blend until smooth. Empty into a large bowl. Add flax seeds to the corn mixture and mix well. Spread out mixture onto 2 Teflex Dehydrator Sheets and then score it into quarters, then score each quarter into quarters. Score each square into 2 triangles until you have 32 triangles on each Teflex sheet. Dehydrate at 110 degrees for 8 to 10 hours. Transfer onto a mesh sheet and peel off the Teflex sheet and dry on the mesh sheet for another 8 hours or until dry and crisp. Break each chip apart and serve.

Super Enjoy!!!

Raw Sweet & Spicy Sesame Noodles

I obviously have a thing for Zucchini Noodles. I would say my go to SAD comfort food would be Long Pasta, so having these as a raw and much more beneficial alternative has been amazing!!

I grew up eating Cold Sesame Noodles from Chinese Restaurants and still think about that sweet, nutty taste! So although I don’t want to eat that any more, it is nice to come up with something similar while keeping it all Raw. This sauce is not as sweet and nutty as the Chinese Restaurant sauce but it was really great!! I want to keep experimenting maybe with more sweeteners and almond butter next time.

Enjoy 🙂

  • 4 medium zucchini (peeled if NOT organic)

MICHELLE Obama wants it clear that she’s a no-fur first lady, too. After we revealed the other day how French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy wrote to PETA to clarify that she doesn’t wear fur coats and will give away any she receives, the Washington Times contacted President Obama‘s wife to weigh in. “Mrs. Obama does not wear fur,” her deputy press secretary, Semonti Mustaphi, confirmed.
