Garden Goodie Bags

My niece just had her second birthday and our cilantro bush was growing beautifully in the garden at my sister's. My dad's girlfriend and I got to clipping it so I thought, "Why not a garden goodie bag?!"

The take away: No candy or plastic toys made from china here. Treat yourself to some cilantro freshly clipped from the backyard garden! It doesn't get fresher than that, friends.

Raw Dessert Shakes

I should have left these as is...banana, mango, strawberry, raw chocolate, walnuts...but noooo, I had to go and make them sweeter (like they weren't sweet enough already) by adding these raw chocolate balls. I was worried our guests needed that extra punch and apparently they did. Everyone loved them, but they gave me a stomach ache. And mine is the smallest one in the background on the left! 

Note to self: if you are sensitive to sugar don't forget you can still over do it on raw. This was a lesson learned for me! Wine is my dessert. Smoothies are my breakfast.

The Fixings:

Wild Rice - 1 cup dry was plenty for four people plus left overs. Costco was actually selling Organic Wild Rice so I had to buy it. The directions say 1 cup rice (rinsed) to 1 1/2 cups water (I use my homemade vegetable broth). Using an organic spray oil, I like to do a low saute of onion, garlic, and jalapeno/serrano/or habanero for fun. I know it's cooked but sometimes it's just fun.

Once the broth comes to a boil I add my seasonings which are usually cumin, cayenne, fresh cracked pepper and himalayan sea salt.

Matchstick Veggies:
Red Bell Pepper
Carrots
Celery
Zucchini

Toss all vegetables into large mixing bowl. When the rice is finished cooking, let it cool and then stir in as much of it as you want into your mixing bowl.

I was having anxiety about rolling up wraps for everyone but also about asking if they wanted to make their own. My fiance and I had had so much fun the night before rolling our own so we decided to go with roll your own. It was so much fun, our friends loved it!

I made a double batch of cilantro pesto with, you betcha, green chard instead of spinach, and a batch of stuffed mushrooms, only dehydrated for about an hour due to timing but it was all good.
