Taco Dip Raw Style or you could put this in a wrap!

Walnut "Meat"

2 cups raw walnuts, soaked 2 hours
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon golden ground flax seed
3 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon fair trade cumin
1-2 tablespoons of cold pressed olive oil, walnut oil etc.
1 tablespoon coriander
1/4 of an jalapeno or to taste
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Pulse in food processor until desired meaty consistency, reserve in a bowl.

Nacho nut cheese

1/2 of a red bell pepper
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon red miso
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons fresh organic lemon juice
1/2 of an jalapeno or to taste
1 teaspoon salt
water

Combine and process all ingredients in a food processor adding a little water at a time until desired thickness and consistency.

Spread nacho nut cheese on a platter or plate, sprinkle walnut taco meat on top of that layer. Top with sunflower greens or any greens that you may have. The cost for this meal with the greens should be somewhere around $15, although I like to serve this with organic blue corn chips, salsa, guacamole and a nice mango/pineapple/spinach green smoothie to go along with it bringing the cost of the meal up to around 30 dollars but this will serve 4 people easily. Enjoy!

Sunflower Love Rawnola Recipe

Rawnola

Binding Ingredients:

3 cups of whole dates de-stemmed and pitted then soaked. I use fresh dates with the seeds in and the tops on. If it doesn't grow, it's not alive then is it? Try growing a can of anything.
1 organic pesticide and poison free grown with love apple, chopped and cored
1 cup fresh grown with love SuperCharge! sunflower greens.
1 heaping Tablespoon of Penzey's Vietnamese extra fancy Cinnamon or fair trade if you can get it.
1 dash or to taste fair trade nutmeg.
1 tablespoon non-alcoholic pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons raw agave nectar, raw honey, stevia, maple syrup if you're not too worried about it.
2 oranges juiced, use the juice and the pulp, compost the rest.

Combine and process all the binding ingredients then move to another container.

The meat of the nola:

1 heaping cup of raw sunflower seeds, soaked for 2 hours.
1 cup steel cut oats, processed into a powdery form. (Omit if Gluten sensitive)
2 cups raw cashews, (Are cashews really raw?) not soaked.
2 cups raw almonds, sprouted.
2 cups raw pecans, soaked for 2 hours.
1 cup raw walnuts, soaked for 2 hours.
1 cup raw pumpkin (pepitas) seeds, soaked for 2 hours.
2 cups raisins, the big juicy organic ones from the bulk isle at Willy Street co-op.
2 teaspoons sea salt.

Chop the nuts in small batches in the processor until some is course and some is on the finer side. You can leave the nuts whole, chop them a lot or a little it's up to you.
Place nuts into a large bowl and mix together with oats, salt, raisins and seeds making sure to mix well.
Add binding ingredients and anything I forgot to mention or anything else you think would be good in there, but most important is to love while preparing this recipe otherwise it will not taste as good, mix very well making sure to get the binding ingredients coated over all of the nola.
Spread onto parchment paper or teflex sheets, I prefer using parchment that I keep and reuse over and over, it's pretty durable and helps the drying process.
Dehydrate overnight or 5-6 hours, flip, dehydrate until crisp or 10-12 hours longer.
Enjoy this up with your home made sprouted almond milk, take some on a winter hike, give it away as a raw present or take it to work for lunch and end up letting everyone try it.
It is living and life is good.

Energy Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

2 leaves Romaine lettuce
4 leaves turnip or collard greens
2 leaves dark green kale or spinach
1 cup sunflower and pea shoot greens
1 zucchini or yellow squash
1 cucumber
1 large apple or pear
1 cup fresh sprouts (mung, alfalfa, red clover, fenugreek)
2 tablespoons dulse flakes ( or any sea vegetable kelp, nori etc)
1 cup rejuvelac (water if you don't have any)
1/2 of an avocado

Blend until just warm, not steamy, in your blendtec, vitamix etc.

Enjoy! Blending aids in digestion, this soup is great for lunch just don't microwave or cook it. If you want to warm it up a little, try using two bowls, boil some water, put boiling water in one bowl and your energy soup in another and place the soup bowl on top of the water bowl much like a double boiler and stir until desired temp. Hopefully your bowls work as well as mine do for this idea. You can also warm it up in your dehydrator. Feel free to tweak this basic recipe any way you want to, I always try different things when making this recipe. Add garlic, herbs or whatever seasonings you like. Yum!
