The Breakfast of Champions … no, I do not mean Wheaties!

I’ve said it before, I love Jennifer Cornbleet. She has produced some awesome food demos and I especially love this one because Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. I usually have a smoothie and then solid food for lunch but sometimes I am in the mood for something hearty. Her breakfast granola hits the spot! InJoy this recipe! xoxo

Happy Sunday!

I’m already getting into the Football Season vibe and so on this beautiful Sunday morning, I’m thinking about game time snack food. Well, this recipe hits the spot and scores HUGE! Jicama is a mexican root vegetable that has a sweet flavor, almost apple-like. I love it and I love any recipe with it. These Raw Food Chili Cheese Jicama Fries are amazing and very quick and easy to make. I hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you think! You can learn more about jicama at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jicama

InJoy!

I start to get antsy when my dehydrator has been sitting idle for too long. And so today, it is time to whip up a new batch of my famous cheesy kale chips. I hope you enjoy my version of this amazingly satisfying and delicious snack food.

4 bunches of Whole Curly Kale Leaves

1 ½ cups of sunflower seeds

Red pepper

Onion

To taste: Sea Salt, Garlic Powder & cayenne pepper, other spices & herbs

Directions:

1 – Remove Kale stems and cut into palm size pieces

3 – place the other ingredients (not the kale) in the blender and blend

4 – slowly add back in the ground sunflower seeds, add more water as needed until you have a smooth consistency. Spice to your liking. More Nutritional Yeast adds to the cheesy flavor.

What can I say? I LOVE Victoria Boutenko. Her first book, Green for Life, was life changing for me. It really explained not just how to make green smoothies but WHY they were so nutritious and important to consume. Green smoothie revolution is full of amazing smoothie recipes. You’ll get so healthy trying them all out!

Thanks to processed and fast foods, being overworked, and feeling stressed while eating on the fly, it is increasingly difficult for most of us to eat anywhere near a balanced diet. We may not be obviously sick, but may suffer from lack of focus, insomnia, sluggishness, or any host of symptoms caused by nutritional deficiency. Green Smoothie Revolution takes aim at this silent epidemic by restoring balance to our diets.Combining nutrition and know-how with recipes that pack a powerhouse punch, Victoria Boutenko reintroduces long neglected fruits, vegetables, and greens in the most persuasive style for our busy lives: with fast prep and delicious results. Featuring 200 recipes, Green Smoothie Revolution offers both simplicity (4 ripe pears, 1 bunch parsley, 2 cups water; blend well) and enough variety to keep taste buds happy and nutrients coming from a wealth of options.

Happy Wednesday!

Trying to think of a healthy lunch for work this week? Here is a fast and easy recipe that is way Yummi! I love vegetable nori rolls. They are so easy to make and so delicious to eat. In this video, you are shown how to roll them by hand and by using a bamboo sushi roller. I like my nori rolls tight, so I prefer to use the bamboo roller. Also, my salt of choice is Real Salt. It’s available at most health food stores. I usually add some kind of pate in my rolls as well. Usually something I whip up in the kitchen.

I’ve included links below for bamboo sushi rollers as well as raw nori sheets. I included 3 types of nori so you can decide the quantity you’d like: 10, 50 or 100 pack. I tend to buy from Maine Coast Sea Vegetables (100 pack) because I make a lot of nori rolls.  I store the nori sheets in the fridge and they last forever!

Hope you enjoy making nori rolls as much as I do! Have a most amazing day!

I love Jennifer Cornbleet and her Book and DVD called “Raw Food Made Easy”. They are an essential part of my DVD/Book Library. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do! and I love doing the Chiffonade cut of the Kale. It is such an elegant and attractive look! Sending you much Love this beautiful day! xoxo
