RAW MACA PANCAKES

RAW MACA PANCAKES

I made a variation of some awesome maca pancakes! They turned out really well, I like them a lot, but they ended up taking so long in the D that I dont think I will make these too often. Also, because of the consistency, I am not sure how long they will keep. In this house, we will have them for a day or too is all, so its good for us. The recipe I adapted also had a cream sauce, we didnt make that, we just used a dolop of honey on top. 

The recipe called for 2 cups of nuts, so I used 1 cup of nuts and 1 cup of diced yellow squash from the garden. It also called for irish moss, which I didnt have, so I used chia seeds. (I also ended up not using the mango, I used a peach that we got at the orchard the other day.)

 The picture I saw of these, they put the cakes in a tower, and each cake was topped with the cream and fresh fruit, it was so pretty, but in my house, the food wont stay on the plate long enough to make it pretty!

This recipe was very highly adapted from http://g0lubka.blogspot.com/search?q=maca+pancakes

 You should check them out and make your own! Her sight is amazing, I have made a few things and loved them all. Her stuff is more gourmet than I usually make, but if I was doing more gourmet, I would use her blog more often. What raw creations are you making today?

L.D., I was thinking about you for this one!

I have been giving a lot of thought to “How do I add more raw foods to my diet” People ask me that a lot. And its usually followed by “I am the only one in the house who is interested.” In my house, we do a lot of blended meals. Its easy for me to make a pot of pasta and a raw sauce. At that point, I can decide if I am having raw pasta or not. Another is taco night. Its SOOO easy to make raw fillings and then we usually have both taco shells and romaine shells. Ill post a few pictures. The impressive picture is the dinner that Penni Shelton made me. It was really a five star meal. But she didn’t slave away in the kitchen all day long either. If you want the recipes for these, go to Raw Food Rehab, there are thousands and thousands of recipes, and so much more. (Coming soon will be a blog about why I love RFR so much!)

More pics of less impressive, yet yummy and filling raw or mostly raw tacos...

Give me a romaine wrap, avocado and a tomato and call it a meal!  :)
