Rawlfredo Sauce

Yes, I made that up. I find it fun 🙂 It’s a raw Alfredo Sauce. Because I love creamy delicious sauces but my health cannot afford to indulge in them often, I have created my own. It tastes amazing on zucchini pasta, as a dip or pretty much anything you would normally use a creamy alfredo sauce on. I love coming up with recipes like this because as a french woman, butter and cream are part of my heritage. I do not want to give them up. Nor do I want to give up feeling amazing. So I can eat this kind of sauce anytime I want, and feel like I am staying true to my roots, and indulge in the real stuff on occasion.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups cashews (dry measure), soaked at least 4 hours
• 1/8 cup lemon juice
• 2/3 cup water
• 1/8 cup olive oil
• 1 clove garlic ( I would have added more if the kids weren’t eating it)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 TBS nutritional yeast
• 1 TBS fresh parsley (optional)

Steps:

• Put everything in the blender and blend on high.
• Adjust water according to desired consistency. This one came out pretty thick, which I really like.

Lemon Cashew Rawcoroons

These are a spinoff of macaroons. A wholesome, nutritious spinoff. They are becoming quite a staple of raw treats I like to make for people. This is the first of many rawcoroon recipes I will be sharing. I am having fun experimenting with flavors! Please feel free to ask if you would like to have me try making a specific flavor! I am always up for new ideas! 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups shredded coconut
• 1 cup almond flour (made from whole almonds, blended down into a flour, not the store bought flour)
• 1/2 cashew pieces
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• zest of one lemon
• 2 TBS coconut oil
• 1/4 cup agave or any liquid sweetener
• 1/8 cup water

Steps:

• in a large bowl mix first 4 ingredients
• in a small bowl or blender mix all the rest
• combine both mixtures until well incorporated
• try not to eat all the mixture before it makes its way onto the mesh screen
• scoop into little balls and put on mesh screen on dehydrator
• dehydrate for about 8 to 10 hours, or until desired texture. I like mine dry on the outside and moist on the inside. 

Blow peoples minds away with these tasty wholesome treats!! Or eat them all by yourself 😉
