Living Rawesome Review of some recipes that I’ve done over the past few weeks
I wanted to give a brief synopsis of the recipes. I have missed some pictures and wanted to report on the final recipes. I was dedicated on my vacation to my project. I made a really refreshing salsa. I made it on Saturday night, and it marinated in the refrigerator overnight. I ate it for breakfast the next morning with my sprouted lentils.
Most of the recipes I make I try to let at least 4 people try them. Usually it is Jason and I, I try to include my kids but if they don’t want to try it I take the recipes to work and Rich and Sarah try them. Destiny, Donna, and Celynn, have tried some of the recipes. If I’m lucky customers will try the recipes and let me know what they think. I want to do a count down of the top 5 recipes that I feel are the best and also what others have claimed to like the best.
# 5 is raspberry vanilla-almond granola
I remember D’Adjoa and Joanne and Destiny really enjoying this granola. I remember going to the dehydrator and saying “okay, this is the last handful” several times. It was delicious. Not too sweet and very filling. Jason enjoyed it very much. I will put in more raspberries next time I make it, but this was very memorable.
#4 is the vanilla-almond macaroon
These are dehydrated. I loved them out of the dehydrator but after I put them in the refrigerator they became very chewy and again, they are not too sweet. Very Delicious. I even calculated the calories for them using Sparksrecipes. They are approx. 147 calories, but well worth it.
#3 are BBQ crisps
After my children decided they were going to fight over the last 2 I declared that they are well worth the top 5. They are divine. I remember eating them for lunch several days in a row.
#2 is the lemon macaroon cheesecake tartlet
This is absolutely unforgettable. I have never had a raw dehydrated pie crust. After having the crust in this fashion I really never want to have the crust any other way. It is so much like a flower crust but so much better. I love to chew and this is chewy. Everyone who tried this recipe loved it.
There is a tie for #1 Warm Brownie and Chocolate Truffles
My kids liked the warm brownie but still are asking me to make the chocolate truffles. Sabby asked if I would make them for his lunch for school. Even tonight he asked if I could make them tonight. He really wants them again, so I will make them this week.
The warm brownie was loved by the adults. Corliss tried them today and loved them. Rich asked for more after I gave him some the other day. The girls at work loved them too.
Of course everyone loves chocolate. Wish David Wolfe could try each and give me his opinion, after all he is the cacao king. I would love to serve him yummy cacao yummies:) AAhhh I can dream.
It is quite obvious that all of us love the desserts. I can’t wait for Matthew Kenney’s new book to come out. All desserts. That will be the best ever!
