Mock Pumpkin Pie Recipe

You DESERVE a piece of pie!!! :)
This is the recipe that I promised the wonderful group at the co-op today. Sorry for the late post! A little note: Most of my raw recipes come from a recipe book called Raw Food, Real World, as does this one. I love this non-cookbook! You will need a pie/tart pan, a high speed blender and a dehydrator.

Crust

1 1/2 C. Coarse almond flour
1 1/2 C. fine almond flour
3 T. Date Paste
3/4 C. Maple Syrup Powder
3/4 C. Coconut butter
Pinch of sea salt.
Add all ingredients to food processor and pulse for 30 seconds. Dough should form and all ingredients should be completely combined. Press dough into pie or tart pan. Place in fridge for at least an hour to set up.


Filling

1 C. Raw Cashews, soaked for 4 hours or more
1 C. Raw Coconut meat
2 C. Carrot juice
3/4 C. Agave nectar
3/4 C. coconut butter
1/3 C. Date paste
1 T. vanilla extract
1 T. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
3/4 tsp. sea salt
In high speed blender (vitamix is recommended), blend all the filling ingredients until completely smooth. Fill pie or tart shell while the filling is at room temperature. Place tart in the fridge to set, about one hour or more.

Ok, that is the recipe. I followed it to the letter and it turned out soupy. I am new to the raw food world, so I did not know that most pie recipes turn out that way. So to fix this (because soupy pie is not pie at all), I placed the pie in my Excalibur Food dehydrator at 95 degrees for 10 hours and it turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!! The recipe in the book also included adding candied pumpkin seeds for effect I'm sure, but I had to omit those from the top because, at the time, I couldn't find organic raw pumpkin seeds. The picture in the recipe book looks incredible and so gourmet with that little addition. The pic you see here is a repost from the original blog post a few days ago... check that one out also to see what the whole pie looked like... almost identical to the real thing!!!

Past 7 Days....

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...

Got My Healthy Game On.... YO!

So, I've found some new fun in fitness.... the Wii! First of all, let me start by saying that when you change your lifestyle from sedentary to active, it is important to incorporate changes that will stick. And for me... this Wii will be sticking around for quite some time! The fact that this video game is played by your body movements alone should be winning the Pulitzer Prize for turning around the obesity epidemic in this country by introducing physical activity BACK into our kids lives! Whew! That was a super run on sentence! hahahaha! Earlier this week I got the balance board for the Wii. It included a game called Wii Fit. I have read quite a few reviews on the Wii Fit complaining that it doesn't include full exercise segments. In my opinion this game is lacking nothing because it is simply introducing fun exercise into our inactive lives and into our child's life . In a day and age when kids are typically found on their bottoms in front of a video game, eyes seemingly...
