Raw Cheezy Kelp Noodles

This noodle dish was thrown together from leftovers in my fridge. I can't believe how easy it was and how tasty it turned out - amazing things do happen when you just let go. 

This is not precise, just what I remember, since I was into enjoying the moment and having a good time!

Raw Cheezy Kelp Noodles

1 pkg Kelp noodles
1/4 cup chopped red pepper
1/4 cup chopped broccoli
3 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp lemon juice
Dash Himalayan salt

Leftovers from my fridge:
1/2 cup marinated and dehydrated root veggies
1/2 cup Tamari/olive oil marinade
3 Tbsp chipotle mayo (you could use any raw cheese)
  • After rinsing and soaking kelp noodles for 10 minutes, they were put in a glass casserole
  • After that everything was added to the casserole in no particular order
  • Kept adding and taste testing until flavours danced divinely and then put the casserole into dehydrator for 2 hours at 105 degrees
  • Voila - a new dish came alive!

Raw Strawberry Macaroons

Here is an easy recipe to make for Valentine's Day! It's my adaption of an Ani Phyo recipe that has only 5 ingredients, so it is fast and easy, but you will need to use a dehydrator to dry these.

This recipe is for Strawberry Macaroons, but you can substitute pineapple to make yellow macaroons, or cacao to make chocolate macaroons.

Raw Strawberry Macaroons

1/3 cup pitted Medjool dates
1-1/2 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen and thawed
1/4 cup agave
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups shredded coconut  
  • Place dates, strawberries, agave, and vanilla in your food processor and process into a puree. Add coconut, and process again to mix well.
  • Use a 2 Tbsp scoop to make 12 macaroons and place onto dehydrator trays. Dehydrate at 104 degrees for 4 hours.
