Eggplant Roll ups, Liquid Gold Elixir, Lydia's Organics copycat bars, Chocolate Cocoa Nib Cookies
Another beautiful day here in Northern California! I went for a run this morning with my running buddies. I ran 14 miles and the first seven were uphill, that was my first time running uphill for that long. I am used to doing rolling hills, you know, a little up, a little down, then do it over and over. The rolling hills are so much easier because you actually get to recover a little. The seven miles back downhill was a treat!
Today I have eaten... Protein shake before my run made with a banana, protein powder and a tablespoon of almond butter. After my run I had a tall glass of Green Lemonade and some mixed fruit drizzled with cinnamon honey. I used a banana (love bananas!) a mandarin orange, a couple strawberries, and a nectarine. Yum! The cinnamon honey rocks!   For lunch I made a green salad with lettuce, asparagus, carrots, cucumber, some of the thai curry tofu from last night, and drizzled with Natalia Rose's Liquid Gold Elixir salad dressing made of... 1 cup lemon juice tablespoon garlic tablespoon ginger 3 tablespoons Nama Shoya 1 tablespoon raw honey 3/4 cup olive oil It makes a big amount, so I store it in a mason jar and use it all week. I used the same dressing to marinate some thinly sliced eggplant and mushrooms and have then warming in the dehydrator.  Here they are all nice, soft and warm...  I spread some pesto on each piece of eggplant, topped with a mushroom...  And rolled them up into little logs. Perfect snack!  Mackenzie and I watched a movie in the late afternoon and I snacked on some nuts while she enjoyed a bag of popcorn. I started a few things in the dehydrator. I am making raw chocolate chip cookies, which I threw together a recipe based on the ingredients in the cookies I bought from One Lucky Duck, but with several tweaks. I used.... Raw Chocolate Chip Cookies 1 cup almond meal 1/2 cup buckwheat groats 1 tablesspoon vanilla extract dash of sea salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/3 cup cocoa nibs a little less than 1/4 cup agave nectar I blended the almond meal and buckwheat groats in a food processor then added the agave nectar, cinnamon, salt and vanilla. I stirred in the cocoa nibs by hand and dropped the dough by the teaspoon full onto my nonstick dehydrator sheets. I have then dehydrating at 105 and will remove them when dry on the outside but still chewy inside. I also started some more of my copycat Lydia's Organic's bars but added a couple strawberries and a heaping tablespoon of hemp seeds. I dehydrate these at 105 until totally dry. The mixture...  On the sheet...  Remember to score it into bars after about 4 or 5 hours. Just for fun... a picture of Mackenzie with the Easter Bunny on Saturday.  So nice to finally have her not be TERRIFIED of the bunny like she used to be!  related searches : Eggplant
