Banana Biscuit


So I tried to create a biscuit-looking item for breakfast for the children yesterday morning. This photograph isn't great, but on-plate, it really does fool you if you just glance. Novelty is king when you're wooing small people into further raw-dom.

Simply, I sliced up a banana per biscuit...stacked them three high in a circle formation on the plate. I sprinkled them with coarse sea salt and a combination of ground cashews, almonds, and sesame seeds to cover and resemble biscuit crust. A little drizzle of melted coconut oil and honey separately spells 'authentic.' Warm them in a dehydrator for that breakfast you've been missing

Avocado Pretzel



Sometimes you just have to trick your brain into believing what you see...

We had this for lunch. It tastes great. And I really got into the fictional fact that I was eating one of those puffy pretzels at the mall. You must try this at home.

Slice an avocado. Place avocado slices on a plate in the shape of a large soft pretzel. Place pecan halves on top of the avocado in the same shape. Squeeze lemon juice on top. Add black pepper, chipotle powder, white sesame seeds, salt, and finish it off with some white onions diced finely to resemble pretzel salt. Serve with a side of spicy mustard or cashew cheese sauce. Oh my goodness.
