Food and Stuff

Hello all! I haven’t posted anything of my own in a while, mostly due to laziness. I tend to just eat things before remembering to grab my camera. I also seem to have lost my camera charger, so there’s another discouragement…so, these pictures I DID snag before munching down on this fabulous meal were taken with my iPhone. Apologies for less than stellar…overall niceness. I’m also in the midst of finals, and I needed some good hearty brain food to keep me going. Thus…

FRESH APPLE MUSELI WITH MAPLE-PECAN CREAM! It’s fantastic. I got the recipe from Diana Stobo’s book “Get Naked Fast.” It’s all about the raw diet and how your food should be “naked” for maximum nutritional benefits. I think it’s really fascinating. My amazing Aunt sent it to me (ALONG WITH STOBO’S SMOOTHIE BOOK OOOO!!!) and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. I’m obsessed. I’ve been carrying it around with me everywhere as an encouragement to eat better. Plus, there’s lots of pretty pictures. One thing that really appeals to me about the raw diet is how easy/short prep time is for most of the meals. Holla short ingredient list!

Ok, onto the museli. This recipe is so easy. Put 1/4 cup almonds, 1 apple, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon raisins into a food processor and just blend together. I like mine chunkier, so I only pulse it for a few seconds. The one I made in the pictures is a little finer. It still tastes amazing.

For the sauce I replaced pecan butter with raw almond butter. I mixed 1/2 cup almond butter, 1/2 cup water and 2T maple syrup (or agave if you have it). SO GOOD. You’ll end up with extra you can use on future apple museli batches, or use it as a dessert topping on whatever you want. It thickens up nicely in the fridge.

Well, that’s all. Next time: raw brownies! With the almond cream. Delish.
