Lime Sauce Ingredients

goji berries
agave
lime juice
lime zest

My cannelonis didn’t turn out so beautiful, but I did manage to remove them from the dowel rods. That is a step above what I have done in the past. The thumbprint cookies turned out nice and I took them to the Kwanzaa celebration today. I also took the Christmas cookies. Now they are gone and I don’t have to eat them:)

I don’t know what recipe I will do tomorrow, but I am thinking the mint chocolate smoothie. I am loving mint right now.

Day #154 Cumin Flatbread pg. 50 everyday raw

December 26, 2009

Today was a very long day. Days always seem to be longer after holidays or a busy week. I read half of my new book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. I have never read it before, so I asked for it for Christmas. I heard an interview with David Wolfe and he said that the Lion mentions how it is peculiar that humans eat cooked food. After hearing the interview I decided that I wanted to read the book. I read the Lion’s quote today in Chapter VII. I probably would’ve overlooked it, had I not heard about it. I am enjoying my days off from working. I am getting used to relaxing days again. Although, I did work tonight.

I am rather tired, so I will make this entry short.

I made the cumin flatbread. It was simple to make. I used ground flax seed and placed it in a bowl and put all other ingredients into the food processor. When the other ingredients were smooth, I added them to the flax. I made 2 dehydrator trays full, which turned out to be 15 pieces. Althought the recipe says it will make 2 dozen pieces, I only made 15, because I like my breads larger.

I love cumin and I can’t wait to try this bread on Monday. I will turn the bread over and remove the teflex sheet tomorrow morning and dehydrate 24 more hours.
