Living Rawesome Day #197 Panna Cotta pg. 100 entertaining in the raw
February 7, 2010
Still no Jicamas! This recipe smells so good though, probably even better, because I am trying to not eat any sugar. I have been on a downward spiral, ever since I ate Ezekial Bread! I don’t know why, but I am fine to have one piece then the next day I have like 4, then before I know it I am on a sugar binge, and breaking into my kids cereal. So for the last 2 days I have been cleaning out again. Hopefully this time, I have finally learned that bread and sugars are not good for me. I read an interesting article on the Huffingtonpost site. It was about foods that you should avoid to keep cancer away. The food of course that stuck out for me was, SUGAR. The more I read about sugar, I realize the havoc it can have on the human body. I did have a few strawberries today, but no agave, bread, or other fruit. So I am feeling better than the last few days.
This recipe is fairly easy to make. The longest part of it was peeling the cacao beans and chopping them up. I bought pistachios from work tonight and had to crack them and chop those up too. Which wasn’t too difficult, just more time consuming.
Panna Cotta Ingredients*I halved the recipe
cashews
coconut meat
agave
water
vanilla extract
non alcoholic peppermint exract
sea salt
coconut oil
spinach juice
pistachios
cacao nibs
All ingredients except pistachios and cacao nibs were placed in the Vita-mix. After it was smooth, I poured the mixture into a bowl and added the nibs and pistachios to the bowl. I lined 4 dessert cups with plastic wrap and poured in the batter. They are in the freezer now.
I am still dehydrating the wafers from last night. They are still sticky. Maybe they will when I take them out because of the coconut oil.
Hopefully tomorrow I will find jicama, so I can finish my meal from 2 days ago. I am also going to make the chocolate sauce tomorrow. Then this dessert will be complete.
Tomorrow is my last day to study for my Cardiovascular test. I am quite nervous about it. I have been studying but I still feel like I need 3 more days. I have tomorrow, and Jason is off, so maybe we can study together.
I need to get to the gym tomorrow too. Neither one of us made it as much as we would’ve like to this week. Too busy!
