Zippy Zuchini Hummus

Quick, easy and delicious. Goes great with Carrot Ginger Crackers. I served this to a group of non-raw foodies and it was a hug hit! Comment below if you’ve made this! I’d love to hear.

Pizza Kale Chips

While in the dehydrator, my kitchen smelled like a pizzaria!!! Amazing!

These are delicious and I can’t wait to serve them tomorrow!!! Next time, I’ll make my Rawsages recipe, and crumble that on top of these chips....mmmmmmm!

I hope you enjoy these as much as we do.  Feel free to bake inborn if you don’t have a dehydrator. Preheat to 220 degrees F.....bake for 30 minutes, keeping watch so they don’t burn.

Sunflower Seeds and Shoots...and Putting it All Together...

When you start exploring the world of Living Food, it can seem a little intimidating. It's been over 2 years now, and as I sit here with a happy tummy and a glow of accomplishment, I have to tell you some of my thoughts... and also share my meal with you. It took me about 30 minutes to put this gorgeous meal together. Yes, some things were prepared in advance, and when you learn how and when to do this, it makes the joy of preparing a successful raw living meal, immeasurable. All of the steps that I've learned up until now are coming together, like musical notes for each instrument in a symphony. The gratification I'm feeling is immense. How can I put these feelings into words and accurately convey to you, just how fulfilling and worthwhile this can be?  The commitment to invest a bit of  your time and energy, and learn about living food is required. I like to play... and I love to experiment, in fact, to me they are one and the same. I never imagined I'd be where I am now...chopping greens out of my garden, photographing them, and then writing about it. Have a few moments to spare? I'd love to show you what I prepared for dinner tonight...

Spicy BBQ RAWsh Kebobs

Raw vegan veggie kebabs are the bomb! When I discover a good thing, I try to find multiple ways to use it. For instance, last week I posted the Spicy BBQ Zucchini Chips and because of this outrageous BBQ Sauce, the chips were jaw-dropping outrageous! Between the two of us and friends, they don't hang around long! I thought it might be interesting to create a kebab, using the same BBQ sauce on veggies. Oh yeah!  I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!

Smokey Backyard Tomato Soup with Hot Red Pepper Sauce

Like many of you, I've got an over abundance of tomatoes springing out of our community garden and thought it would be nice to make a summer tomato soup with a bit of a twist from our usual. OH YUM!  Just a pinch of smoked paprika gives this soup such a deep, smokey tone, our taste buds were dancing with delight! I was so involved in prep, I am not sure I got all of the ingredients written down. Not to worry, I'll be making this again for sure. We loved it!

BBQ Kale Chips (RAWBQ)

The BBQ Zucchini Chips were such a hit the other day, I used the same recipe on dino kale (Lacinato). AWESOME, although, very different texture from the zucchini chips. I personally prefer curly kale...either way, this recipe is a winner. It's VERY zippy, so tone down the red chili powder and cayenne, if you don't like spicy!

Spicy BBQ Zucchini Chips (RAWBQ)

A friend gave us some overgrown zucchinis. Large circumference zucchinis do not spiralize well. So, how about making some "potato" chips? These are so crazy reminiscent of BBQ potato chips, I can't believe it! Warning - they are very spicy, so cut down on the hot red chili powder and cayenne if you want a tamer version.  You may want to double this recipe...they are amazing!

Zucchini Hummus and Grassini Sticks

I prepared these BBQ Grissini Sticks that were created by EarthSprout . I'll post the changes I made below. I'm going to let them dehydrate a few extra hours to get more crunchy, but W and I did a sneak preview. Conclusion: The Zucchini Hummus goes great with the Grissini, AND celery stalks are easy, and compliment the mix. Hummus is Quick and Easy!
