My kids love this pie...Sam, my four year old gobbles it up. I made it today in less than 10 minutes, stuck it in the freezer for about an hour, ready to eat, that was at 11am, it's 5pm and the pie is gone!! Healthy, great for healing diabetes, balancing blood sugar and getting lots of antioxidants and vitamin c, plus a little protein in the crust!
This is one of the easiest raw pies to make.
1/2 to one whole cup of raw cashews ( I use nut free crust recipes too, you can always grind dates and dried coconut to form a crust)
2T coconut oil
1-2T raw agave nectar
Grind cashews unsoaked in food processor until a powder-like substance is made. Add coconut oil and agave. Process together till combined, and press into pie pan, place in freezer for 5-10min.
2 bags of raw organic blueberries (frozen). Fresh works if available 4C total, but when using frozen, I rinse them in cold water and let them sit for a minute draining them and letting them defrost a bit.
1 banana
1-2T raw agave
Optional: cinnamon, nutmeg, coconut oil, pro-biotics, a handful of strawberries
Mix in food processor till smoothe, pour over pie crust. Place in freezer for an hour till firm, serve or let defrost a few minutes and then serve.
Or, place in the refrigerator for about 3 hours to set. The banana helps it firm up. If you use too much of other fruits, it may not firm up as well, but feel free to experiment.
Raw desserts are so nutritious, they're perfectly acceptable to eat for any meal of the day, or to eat a lot of. For my boys who are quite finicky about whole raw foods, sometimes these blended pies are the best way to get them to eat it, and clearly, Sam gets whatever his body needs in terms of protein, fats, and nutrients from this pie. Now if I can only get him to eat some fresh leafy greens....that's a whole other issue. :-)
With love,
Andria

Spicy green curry soup
Wowsers, so I needed something warm tonight...when it gets cold and damp (acupuncturists can't stand raw foodists LOL). So here's a soup to warm you up and if you have a Vita-Mix, let it run for a minute or two, your soup will be warm, and still raw.
Meat of 1 thai coconut
1 cup carrots chopped
handful of parsley
1 jalepeno
1 clove garlic
dash of olive oil
dash of raw agave nectar
dash of salt
dash or a few dashes of nama shoyu
as much curry spice as you wish
For non raw foodies, I think this soup would be great if it was cooked too. But for raw folks, this is a good one, very spicy and heating for this cool weather and for all the purification that needs to continue.
With love,

Oh my raw hummus!
Ok, I'm sure I will improve on this raw hummus, but either I'm really hungry tonight or this is way good.
Reminder: I don't measure... :-)
1C chickpeas soak in water for 24 hrs. Rinse 2x/day. Let sit covered in glass container for 2 days, rinse every 12 hours.
****Note: This is a raw recipe, but I heard you have you soak the chickpeas in hot water, boil a pot of water, and turn it off, add chickpeas for one minute, remove and rinse with cold water, then mix with the rest of the ingredients. If you don't do this, the hummus tastes bad. Now, this is obviously then not a 100% raw recipe...if any raw foodies know a better version, do share.
3 cloves garlic ( I love garlic )
juice 2-3 lemons
4T Olive Oil
(seasoning...I used curry this time, but not a lot) cumin or paprika works
4T fresh parsley
water...enough to get it to blend until smoothe
Add all to a Vita Mix...(food processor works), I had to stir with a spoon a lot, stop, stir, mix...etc.
Slice some celery and carrot sticks or get some raw crackers and eat away.

Fresh From the Kitchen - Raw Recipes
This is going to be an ongoing thread where I post recipes I just made in my kitchen that taste good to me. Please be aware I don't measure, I recommend tasting as you go along.
These are raw food only recipes.
I was just inspired to make a chocolate pudding, and I just use what I have.
In a Vita-Mix (yes, a good blender works best, I could have hand creamed this, but the consistency would not be as smoothe)
1-2T raw cacao powder
1 avocado
4 minneola-tangelo segements and a few squeezes extra of juice
pinch of salt
1T raw honey
1T raw agave nectar
I would add a little extra honey next time, or I could add it now and just stir it in, maybe it could be more chocolately too, I love rich chocolate.
Food love and hugs,

From Ramana's Ashram in Arunachala, India: A message
Gods Grace is Important.A Guru need not to be in a Human Form. First A Man realizes that he is Very Smalland Identifies that God is there to Control this Universe with His Super Power. Then he Prays to God and do Service in the Name of God. When he reaches Eligibility Stage, God will come in the form of Guru to Guide Him. Know that God is within You. The Purpose of Guru's Coming is to guide You to Immerse You into Identifying God within You. With Guru's Grace only Self-realization is Possible - It is the Direct Method.Lectures, Preachings , Meditation - are Indirect Methods.In reality Guru's Grace is within You, If with any Method You can Immerse your Mind in Atma, Grace will flow out like fountain.God, Grace and Atma All are One.Unnecessary discussions, Arguments are like trying to Shave our Shadow In Mirror.- Sri Ramana Maharshi.

Cleansing with Ho'oponopono
I am going to post several videos below that will help you transform your self, your relationships and your relationship to money.
If you would like to discuss, please post questions below.

Addressing financial woes with Ho'oponopono
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lil63u-xB70
I like this one best, so that you breathe, chant the mantra, and focus on one person you need to clear karma with or one situation. Do this for 30 days for one issue, concern or person to clear this from your subconscious memory.

If music and song lifts your soul, these voices will certainly open the heart chakra.
Will post more later on this.
