A Week of Success

rebecca — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 20:28:33 +0000

Perhaps it was my low energy (general malaise) and general ambivalence towards many things, but someone/something stuffed a very angry and insistent bee into my bonnet this week. Granted – I snuffled the odd piece of cheese, and I enjoyed a couple of pita wedges – however, for the first time in eons, I was able to meet my goals in a satisfactory manner. I consider 90% raw to be a fine accomplishment. Although many of the raw food activists – Alissa Chohen, Victoria Boutenko, for example – state that going 100% is the only way (for the majority of people) to refrain from reverting back to a mainly cooked diet, I am hopeful that “working up to it” might actually work for me.

Raw Chocolate “Timbits”

Decadent Healthy Chocolate

rebecca — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 15:10:12 +0000

Over the weekend, I had an experimental epiphany in the kitchen. It started off with a simple desire to make chocolates:

- 2 cups of dates
- 1/2 cup of walnuts
- 1/2 cup of pecans
- 1 Tbsp coconut
- 2 Tbsp raw cocoa
- 1 tsp maca root powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5-10 allspice
- 1/2 inch piece of ginger sliced

The above (added into the food processor and mixed) resulted in a large brown mass that was too dry to form into balls. To increase the moisture of the “dough”, I added a large handful of spinach and processed thoroughly. The result was smooth, chewy, and easily formed into balls. For a final touch, I dusted them with more cocoa and coconut.

My review: absolutely delicious! The spinach was well-disguised, the ginger was warming to the stomach, and the flavour was divine.
