Surger Free Peanut Butter Cups


I came across this recipe for sugarless chocolate peanut butter cups
at At Home with Kare these have to be the best tasting
sugarfree candy I've yet had!!  My girls love them
AND they're good for them!!
Since cutting out sugar, something we loved to 
indulge in, we've had to find other 
sweets to enjoy.  We were buying Paul Newman's
Peanut Butter Cups at $2.98 a package which had
three little cups in it.  And the taste...
well let's say it tasted like sugar free!!
Now, I can make a tray of 24 for under $5.00, all organic,
sugar free, and DELICIOUS!!
I highly recommend if you have a sweet tooth for chocolate
and peanut butter to hop on over to Kare's
and try out her recipe, you'll be licking your fingers and thanking me
for sharing, oh and of course without
Kare sharing I'd still be eating Newman's horrible
peanut butter cups... much love and kiss
to Kare!!

Delicious Sugarless Chocolate Candies

I have to share this recipe I found,
it's raw, rich, delicious, nutty, chocolaty and
sugar free!!

I've been in search for a sweet chocolaty
candy or cookie that is sugarless and
have tried several recipes and to tell the
truth I nearly gave up till I tried this one
it's a raw chocolate and it's worth the try,
believe me this one is good!!

Of course I tweaked it a bit, I'm  not
 a lover of carob (yuck, yuck, and yuck!!)
so here is what I did:
First I didn't want to make a whole batch and
end up dumping in the trash so I reduced it down.

3 1/2 T of Coca
2 1/2 T of Carob (this was my change)
3 T of Honey
3 T of warm coco oil
pour some chopped pecans in didn't measure (this was my addition to the recipe)

I followed her instructions for mixing, then poured or
rather spooned the chocolate mix into
a candy mold.  Placed in the refrigerator till
they were hard.  Popped them out and
placed them in an air tight container, 
back into the fridge...
I ended up with 25 pieces of candies... that didn't
last the day.  My family loves them.... and I did too!!
now I have a raw chocolate candy for my chocolate craving!!
I've since made this recipe several times.
I might go ahead and make a full batch or at least 
half a batch according to her measurements.

Enjoy!!

Broccoli Avocado Salad

OK, I'm love'n RAW BROCCOLI!!


I was craving broccoli but didn't want to juice it, so I did a google search
on broccoli salad, the results were very few RAW salads. There was a couple
I found but I didn't have allthe ingredients, so, I improvised (this is the story of my life)
I used what I had and someof what they called for. This is what I came up with:

1 cup of broccoli, chopped fairly small
2 cloves of finely chopped garlic
1 mashed avocado
2 tablespoons of cilantro
squeeze the juice from 1/2 a lemon
1/8-1/4 teaspoon of cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-2 tablespoons of virgin olive oil
Toss well, eat and enjoy...I know I did!
extra note:
instead of throwing away the stringy stems
of the broccoli just peel away the outer
layer of the stems and chop up the remaining
inner stem, its soft yet firm and has lots
of nutrients your body will love.

Classic Kale and Avocado Salad

I'm loving this Spanish rice dish and Blended Salads are wonderful, but is there more?
Yes, I found this wonderful tasty salad (by the way I am not a salad lover unless it has cheese and tons of dressing; not healthy!) Here a a great video I found.


I just finished eating a bowl of this, it was so delicious!! Who would have thought of making salad out of KALE?? Not me! But I'm glad I came across this recipe!!

Paul Nison, Torah & Raw Food

Thanks to Lina @ A set apart life blog I learned about Paul Nison who is a Raw Food advocate but what's so wonderful about this is he bases his teaching on Torah AND he's a follower of Yahshua to boot!! I've been watching his video's and ordered one of his book. I got this BRAND NEW book for FIVE BUCKS yes, you read it right $5.00!! The book was actually a little over six bucks plus shipping and handling. I had an amazon coupon for five dollars...so what a blessing!!

I haven't read it yet just paged through, I'm so looking forward to having a quiet time so I can devoure it! I have already tried one of his recipes. I didn't get it out of the book though it is in there, I actually got it off of one of his video's here is the recipe:

BLENDED SALAD
1/2 cucumber
couple handfuls of spanich leaves
1 celery stick (stock)
1 garlic clove
1 tomatoe
1 avocado
squeeze 1/2 of lemon juice
things I added:
3 tblsp of ground up flax seed
1 tsp of virgin olive oil
blend all together less the avocado peel & seed
I had to add just a bit of water because it was really thick, but OH MY GOODNESS!!
This was the best stuff I have ever tasted!! I've been juicing now for about a month and NOTHING, I mean NOTHING compaires to this!! If you try nothing else RAW you have to try this. I'm gonna make his Spanish rice out of a head of califlower...I know it's gonna be GOOD!
If you want to watch some of Paul's video here is his website. You can also go to youtube and
search Paul Nison and come up with Lots of his video. I think the one with this recipe on it
was called Simple Recipes. Anyway here is a BIG HUG for my little Sister Lina
{{{{{{{Lina}}}}}}}
for sharing such a wonderful resource.
