Pear and Tofu Pudding

I made this when I lost my voice last year. I ate so much of it that I did get my voice back, but I also got the scoots, as this lovely treat is super moistening for the body, which often results in moist bowels as well.

In a blender, add pear, soft tofu (not firm!) - and really, that could be all, but I also added almond extract, fresh and dried ginger, and a little green stevia.

It was really refreshing and can quench an insatiable thirst 

(*Note - if you have an unsatiable thirst, it is better to eat fruits and moistening foods (like tofu) and even sea vegetables as oppose to continuously guzzling water, which can actually exasperate thirst when water is over drunk!)

Chocolate Pudding of my Gods

Chocolate pudding like I've never tasted before.

Add these fine things into a blender or mixer, or something that whizzes things about:

• cocoa powder (I used a "ruddy red" that was super dark.. so good)
• maple syrup
• soft tofu for a pudding, (or soft avocados if you want it thicker like mousse)
• vanilla
• whiskey or rum

That's it! Heaven in a bowl!

Sorry for no quantities.. that's just not how I cook. Try making it yourself and then adding more or less of something if you think it needs it!

Goose Poop Sandwich

Doesn't this look like s#!+?

Well, it's home-made, and I know what you're thinking. I don't own any geese, or wild animals for that matter. This treat does looks weird... but I guess, yeah, it was weird - but pretty good!!

So I was in the mood for bitter and building. Why bitter? It reduces things, or at least gives it a descending nature, and I wanted something to bring me down a notch and solidify my base. So this I did.

What did I do to create this messy snack food that I need not worry about running to the patent office with due to its gastly appearance?

First I ground up some almonds (let's pretend they were soaked and then drained/dried, as I usually do, but I actually forgot in this case), along with.. well heck, I'll just write down the recipe for you:

Grind in a magic bullet/mini-mill thingy

-almonds

-black sesame seeds

-raw cacao nibs

-flax seeds (brown ones)

-spirulina

-goat colostrum... yep, threw that in there to make it a "SUPER FOOD".. colostrum is my new superfood, I don't think science has got a whiff of it yet, and so I'm glad so it's not abused and on every product in the health section of the grocery store.. like acai... that word makes me gag due to it's over-popularity.. it's a berry for crying out loud!! It's not gold.. anyways, I digress..

Blend that super fibery weird mess in the mill until it's pasty. Add:

-flax oil

-molasses (all I had on hand, not by choice, otherwise I would've used yacon)

-drop of goat milk to make it a little liquidy

Blend again (put this time it will be buttery and mushy)

Dollop the goop out onto a rice cake or something not-bitter (that would just overload the bitter senses of your tongue) and prepare for some building and grounding. It would actually make a lovely Yin tonic for women just after, or during their menses. The black colour in food magically replenishes blood and gives us some support during this time.

Also, don't forget that I made this whole thing up (like alot of things), so if you want to play with it, try anything. Just grind up stuff, add some oil, .. and spices go nicely too, like cinnamon,.. eh voila!!  Goose poop.

Poo Balls

Eat these and then poo them out.

1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/3 cup honey or yacon
2 Tbsp raw sunflower seeds
2 Tbsp tahini or almond butter
1/2 cup ground flax
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus more for garnish
1 tsp vanilla
1-2 Tbsp carob or cocoa powder

Pulse sunflower seeds in a blender or food processor into a rough powder. Combine all ingredients into a stiff and slightly crumbly dough. Press into balls and roll in the extra shredded coconut. Eat em and poop em out!

Sweet Milly Bake

Toast some millet in a dry oven proof pot. I added some spices like cinnamon, cardamom as well as some raisins and other fun things (seeds maybe?)

Once sufficiently toasted, add some water to it and bring it to a boil. You can use apple juice as well too, to make it sweeter and more desserty. Once boiling, put on the lid and pop it into a preheated oven!

Once cooked, after 30 - 60 minutes, you can reduce the heat and just keep it warm in the oven. With more liquid, you can cook it for longer and get it softer and sweeter. Less water will take less time to cook, but it will be more granular, dry and tough (but still good!)

This reheats nicely in the oven as well, and you can add to it later too, turning it into a quasi apple crisp or something fun.

Apple Crisp!

Our favourite dessert! Sliced apples lined the bottom of the tray, and then a mixture of oat flakes, seeds, nuts, sweetener (honey or something, we used yacon), spices such as cinnamon, dried fruit, and a little or oil or butter, then spread out over top of the apples. Baked in the oven at 350F until fragrant and golden!
