Household Cleaner

 I  saw this for approximately 2 weeks ago and made one "Household Cleaner" and to my surprise it works really good!!!!! :-))

Raw Waffles

Our daughter loves eating this waffles for breakfast & I love eating them in afternoon!
To make them, you need some patience and you should not be in the hurry. But it is worth waiting! If you start making them in afternoon you will then have a nice breakfast next morning.
On the top (on the picture below) I have some hazelnut cream and bee-pollen, but you can top waffles with whatever you like, for example some honey, raw jam and so on....

Raw Waffles

1 ½ Cups flax powder

1 ½ Cups of walnuts (or nut of your choice)

3 Cups soaked buckwheat overnight (ca 1,5 cup un-soaked)

4 Tbs raw honey 

Dough

1) Mix walnut in food processor or mixer.  

 2) Add it into a big mixing bowl together with buckwheat and honey. Combine everything by hand. Fix your blank plate attachment to your twin gear masticating juicer and feed mixture through the juicer, creating the dough.

 

 

 3) Take a waffle maker and cover the bottom with plastic wrap.

4) Spoon in a bit of dough and spread it evenly with your hands, making sure it covers the entire waffle iron. Making sure not to pile it too thick or spread it too thin. It is easier if you wet your hands with cold water.

4) Lay a piece of plastic wrap across the top side of your waffle and press the 2 sides of the waffle iron together firmly to achieve a nice waffle pattern on both sides. Using the plastic wrap, lift the waffle out of the waffle iron and lay bottom side up on a dehydrator tray. Trim off any unclean edges with a butter knife.

5) Dehydrate for 8 hours at 43 degrees. (after half a time flip them over carefully and dehydrate for 4 more hours)

6) Pull waffles out and top them as you please- fruit, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, raw nutella or any combination you like.

Nettle Smoothie

On Wednesday I read on the Facebook haw to make a nettle smoothie!
Though it is important to mention that you shouldn't drink more than 5 dl at once and children should only drink 2,5 dl. But children under 1 yer should not consume stinging nettles.
Stinging nettle is rich in vitamins A, C, iron, potassium, manganese, and calcium.

 Nettle Smoothie


2 handfuls of nettle (pick with gloves)
1 large stalk of celery
5 dl of water
4 bananas ( I used three)
4 dates, pitted.

Mix thoroughly. Drink half directly and half later in the day and you will fell grate! 

Watermelon ice cream

Now when its getting warmer outside our daughter started to ask for ice cream. So I think, its healthier to make your own and it is very easy too! This is the first ice cream of the year 2013 & I hope that it will come some more recipes!

I also want to share with you some beautiful pictures of cherry blossom in Stockholm. This happens once a year and only for a few days. Its so magical, do´t you think so!   

WATER MELON ICE CREAM

• Take half the water melon (depends on how much of popsicle makers you have. I had 12) de-seed it and blend it. (If you like you can add some strawberries and blend it together.  I made this time without strawberries.)

• If you desire some sweetness add some dates or raw honey.
• Pour the mixture into popsicle maker (or any other type of ice block maker).
• Stick your popsicle stick in the appropriate place and place it in the freezer at least for 4 hours.
• Take them out and enjoy! (like our daughter did!!)

Cashew nuts not good for you!!!

Yesterday I came over one Swedish raw-food blog where they wrote about agave and cashew nuts that they are not as healthy as I thought. I have read earlier about agave and I knew about that but not regarding cashews. In a raw food diet there is a lot of recipes where they use cashew as a base so I thought it is important to share this information with you. I am not going to write more about it but I recommend you to find more about it by yourself.... Below you have one page where you can read about it:

See you soon with a new recipe!!! 

Raw Veggi Burgers

A few days ago, I created my favorite raw burgers! It is very easy to do and finally I found out what to do with pulp rests from my "every-evening" green juice!
I have tried more than a few times to make a raw burgers but never succeeded. Sometimes they were too dry or too watery or didn´t taste good at all. In every recipe that I red everybody says it´s very easy but not to me it wasn´t until now!!!!
 So finally I MADE IT and I would like to share it with you!!!

 Raw Veggi Burgers:
(makes about 4 to 5 raw burgers):

Ingredients:
1 cups walnuts or almonds
2-3 carrots (I used the pulp from making carrot juice)
1 large handful of fresh parsley
1 cup of green pulp (leftover from making a green juice) - I used spinach, cucumber and celery
1/2 large onion
1/4 cup lemon juice or less if you don´t like lemon taste
0,5 tsp or more himalaya salt

Process:

1. Mix the walnut in a food processor and pour over into one big bowl.
2. Cut onion into small peaces.
3. Chop parsley.
4. Add all the rest of the ingredients into the bowl with walnuts, carrot pulp, parsley, green pulp, onion juice of lemon and salt. Mix everything with your hands.
5. From the dough make burgers and put them on the teflex sheet and dehydrate for 2 h at 43 degrees. Then flip them over carefully and dehydrate for one more hour. Done!!!
Serve with your favorite salad and your favorite sauce.

(If you want you can eat them as they are you don´t need to dehydrate them.)
