Sprouted Lentil "Rye" Crisps

I truly adore these light, crisp crackers with a nut or seed pate or humus. Growing up Jewish in "Joisey," I was raised on, and loved a really good Jewish Rye. The ground fennel seeds in this recipe work their magic, providing a tone so very reminiscent of this bread....and now...no gluten or processed junk to worry about.

Lentils and buckwheat are easy to sprout in a Mason jar, using sprouting lids. Click HERE for directions on sprouting buckwheat. Lentils take a bit longer, but don't need to be dehydrated.

Spicy Orange Fennel Kale Chips

What a fabulous blend of flavors! I'm a huge kale chip fan, but love to discover new ways to make them. This experiment turned out amazing! Some of my favorite flavors, fennel, orange, and red bell pepper.  Add a little zip and a little sweet, and you have simply FABULOUS kale chips!

Coconut Champagne Mango Crackers - (Raw Vegan)

Oh, the joy of Raw Food preparation. Remember my "Award" winning recipe for Pasta & Champagne Mango Cream Sauce? (If not, check it out). I was preparing it for a demo and had some leftover "sauce." What to do? Add a few more ingredients...and make crackers! This delicious treat is a cross between cracker and roll-up. I encourage you to add other ingredients and experiment with different textures. I've included the items I added to the sauce to make these crackers...but there are so many variations you can choose.

Horseradish 'n Dill Crackers/Bread

As part of my recent exploration into "my roots," I prepared fresh Horseradish. It was deeply earthy and delicious. From that recipe, I made a Horseradish Hummus/Dip, which was lighter in texture, but also fabulous. I needed some crunchy crackers... So what else? Horseradish  'n Dill Crackers, of course! The horseradish flavor turned out rather mild  while the dill seems to permeate the crackers. I love dill, so it works for me, and I can spread either horseradish or the hummus on them. If you're not a fan of dill, replace it with another herb. Walnut crackers are great! Walnuts give a richness, extra crunch, and a splendid nutty tone. This recipe may also be prepared as a bread.

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!

Veggie Crisps, Wraps or Bullion "Cubes"

Pour the Sauce below over spiralized zucchini, or spread on dehydrator sheets for zippy crisps, or flexible wraps. Recipe Updated! Do not be intimidated with sprouted flours. Replace with almond flour if you so choose. I highly suggest you read my blog on how to sprout grains. It's awesome to dehydrate, grind and store flours in freezer so you have them whenever you need them. I always have a selection of flours to choose from. Quinoa, oat, buckwheat, barley, etc.

Purple Taco Shell

The idea was to make a SOFT tortilla shell. Silly me, forgetting that corn is crunchy, not flexible. I'd have to do some major tweaking to get a soft shell. We ended up with wonderful purple corn taco shells. We stuffed them with "refried beans" made with almonds which were amazing. Honesty, I don't think anyone would know they were not refried beans!  They certainly would never guess they were made with almonds! We also added Guacamole, Salsa and Mexican Veggies

e-Book Sneak Preview

Living Pizza - I'm really looking forward to getting my first publication completed and available for download, however, my hard drive crashed and it's been a month of technical nightmares trying to get my laptop up and running again. After 5 days, my Carbonite restore is still only downloading empty folders and we are at about 20 percent now..(sigh). They've restarted it multiple times, only delaying the agony. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that in the next week..I'll be able to reorganize my folders, access my book files...and compete this project. In the meantime, here is a sneak preview of one of the goodies you will find in this upcoming book...Enjoy!

Kale, Kale, Kale, Kale - Like You've Never Seen It!

Kale Chips are one of my favorite dehydrated snacks. The crunch of it is so very satisfying to me. I also love to watch the surprise on someone's face when they approach these treats with such trepidation and skepticism, only to discover they are as decadent as I promised. I'm currently working on a project to come up with innovative flavors that totally titillate the taste buds!

Pistachio Crisps/Crackers

Still on a pistachio kick! The other day we made that delicious Pistachio Green Dream Smoothie, right? Well, I had some gorgeous pistachio pulp left over and decided to use this and create a new cracker recipe. I ended up with these fantastic crisps. Eat as is, or smear with some luxurious Pistachio Butter.  If you are missing crunchy munchies...you will love these!

Walnut Hemp Crackers - Just Like Ritz?

Do they taste like Ritz crackers? Many think so. Whether you agree or not, most agree these are very very tasty! My opinion, not exactly Ritz, but they do have a sort of shortbread consistency and remind me of Ritz in an odd way.

Kickin' Mango Salsa

If you have some yummy chips hanging around, begging to be eaten, here's a quick and easy salsa with a little kick! Make it as spicy or mild as you like. Enjoy a quick, nutritious, and healthy snack. This is very tasty on carrot and celery sticks for a super simple treat.

Raw Corn Chips/Taco Shells

These are great corn chips and on the mild side. Add  some fresh hot pepper or increase the hot chili powder to spice 'em up. I like them this way for nachos, as not to overpower the flavors of the other dishes.

These can be baked in a low temperature oven with the door open, but I've never tried it, and it's not very economical. I do love having a dehydrator for treats like this.
