Living Rawesome Day #233 Strawberry Tart Crust pg. 112 everyday raw
March 15, 2010
I was in the mood to make a dehydrated crust for a delicious pie. I decided on the strawberry tart.
It’s been such a great day! I had Marsha and Debby over for a raw pizza lunch and to talk about raw food. Marsha has completely outdone herself. She wrote down an entire lesson plan for the Green Smoothie Demo this coming Tuesday. She makes me feel so confident about teaching. It’s great how God just keeps sending people in my life to lift me up and grow closer to my almight Creator. I become more aware that this is the path I should take when people show up in my life and bless me like they do.
I showed Debby and Marsha how to make sauerkraut. Debby took it home and she will be able to eat it on Friday. We had a wonderful afternoon. After they left, I received a call about doing a demo of raw food in Crystal River on Wednesday, it’s short notice, but I agreed to do it. I will be serving Green Smoothies and talking to people about raw food. I am excited. I figure if ONE person is interested, it is worth it. Even if nobody is, which I doubt, I will still be doing something I love. Then, after I got off the phone with her, someone else called me about teaching me all about herbs. I have been wanting to do this, so when he called me, I couldn’t say no. Just when I start to get down about what my mission is, God sends an overflow. Praise God. He always provides what we ask for.
Today’s recipe was simple but calls for dehydration. I just soaked and dehydrated almonds, so I will use those.
Crust Ingredients
almonds, soaked and dehydrated
maple syrup
coconut oil
date paste
sea salt
I pulsed the almonds into crumbs in the food processor. Then I mixed the rest of ingredients by hand. I lined a pie plate with plastic and I formed the crust inside of the plate. The crust is dehydrating and will be done in 48 hours. I might use it in 24 hours. I will see how crisp it is. I am hoping to take this pie to the taste testing on Wednesday. They will love it.
I am going to relax for a while and then head to bed. I am really exhausted. The time change is hard on the body and mind sometimes.
It has been a very rewarding day. Tomorrow is back to school:) and I am ready. The next two chapters are about Nutrition! Yippppeee!
