Day 47 Lost in Translation

DAY 46 is Lost in translation, lol I didn't post yesterday, was super busy all day. Have you had the chance to watch that movie? you should. Another documentary you definitely must watch is 'KILLER AT LARGE'http://www.killeratlarge.com/ and 'FOOD MATTERS'http://www.foodmatters.tv/ Know what you are eating and if you still choose to eat it then fine, at least you know what the consequences might be. You might even want to get these on DVD as gifts for Christmas.
Nina's idea: our apple slices with delicious Almond dip. This will cure your sweet cravings in a second. We ended up eating about 3 apples, beats the unhealthy, sugar-infused caramel dip in the store.

DEEEEEEEE-LI-CIIIIIOOOOOOOSSSSOOOOOO!


Why would you ever want to buy chocolate when you can make a heart healthy one in less that 10 minutes?
Ingredients:
1/2 cup melted coconut butter
2 tbsp raw cacao powder
1 tbsp carob powder
(or you could just use 1/2 of cacao powder or 1/2 of carob. I like to mix them both)
1 tbsp organic grade B maple syrup
1 tbsp agave nectar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Blend all together and then spread over pie pan or molds. Then sprinkle 1/2 of crushed walnuts or your nut of choice and freeze for 5 minutes. THIS MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH LIKE NOTHING ELSE. what a healthy treat for the holidays! You can then transfer to a sealed container and keep in the fridge.

My walnut salad dressing. This is fantastic.




This was my first go at raw/vegan 'mylk' (yes, trying not to spell 'milk') chocolate using cacao butter.
Amazing stuff, these were so rich that one was enough for the day. Desert should be that way, not that you seat and eat a whole cake because it's so light and fluffy and airy, it should be dense and rich so you can have a bite and it completely satisfies you.




This was my salad with my sweet tahini dressing. Yum!
Stay blessed.
