For those of us that have a tendency towards more simple recipes, here goes.

the best I've created so far.


Let's call it ....

"Collard goes Bananas"

1 medium banana

4 collard leaves and remove the middle stem.

1 broccoli stem with florets

Food process all together until pdding and lumpy texture. Top with soaked raisins (optional) and 3 slices of fuji apple for garnish.


Sweet and Refreshing........stomach friendly :)

I think this belongs here too. Hope you don't mind Misslinda.

Teri, you read my mind! Thank you...... ;)
Jen (JMD) likes simple recipes also.

I treat myself every now and then with a more "fancy" dish but for the most part, simple.

[Smoothie]

Her's mine...............It's a raw chopped salad. It's puuuuuuurty too!!

Spinach
Mushrooms
Red peppers
Onions
Carrots
Zucchini (I sometimes leave it out. I always have the other stuff on hand)

Chop it in the food processor..............toss with olive oil and celtic sea salt.

It is so simple and so yummy. It's great to eat as a salad or the filling for roll ups or to fill a portabello mushroom cap.

[misslinda]

heya smoothie,

thanks for that recipe cuz i have all those ingredients! :)

My favorite pudding:

A mango and a banana blended, delish!!!

[eatyourbroccoli]

My favorite pudding:

A mango and a banana blended, delish!!!

i made that for thanksgiving and didn't tell my family it was raw

i topped it with raw pecans

my two younger brothers LOVED it..two teenage boys that live off of pizza and chicken strips :rolleyes:

[eachpeachpearplum]

My recent fav is:

tomatos
cucumber
basil
red onion

sweet cider vinegrete

apple cider vinegar
olive oil
agave
salt
peper

This is great right away or marinated overnight! :)

[tvillemom]

These sound so great! I love banana and mango pureed together. A friend of mine gave me a recipe for a fruit pie...you make a nut crust...then layer with the "pudding" , then a fruit of your choice (I think blueberries or cherries work the best) then another sprinkling of the crust mixture, then pudding, then top with your berries. I fed this to some non raw friends, their little girl asked for seconds! YUMMY

Talking about puddings, I made a really good one yesterday:

dried peaches
dried apricots
(Soaked these overnight in the fridge)

cashews

soak water
fresh oranges
fresh tangerines

ground cinnamon
ground nutmeg
ground cloves

a little agave syrup


Put into a food processor, and blend until it is the consistency you like. I like my fruit pudding pretty smooth, but with a few little chunks left in it. I put it in a pretty dish, and topped with chopped cashews. I think it would be good with chopped pecans, also. I'll try those next time.

My non-veg, non-raw husband thought it was delicious!

[tvillemom]

I know this is not a pudding, but I also like an orange or two pureed with frozen banana....taste better than a creamsicle....and I don't even like those!!

My favorite pudding:

A mango and a banana blended, delish!!!

OMG, Chilove, this is sooooooo delicious!! ((((hug))))) - - - THANKS for sharing!! I put ground flax and cashews on mine.... YUMMY :p

[misslinda]

I have yet to try this mango/banana pudding. My body right now cannot handle mango but looking forward to it.


Cucumber/Fuji apple



1/2 cucumber
1 crisp fuji apple


FP until chutney texture.


The seeds in cucumber are great for stunted bowels. The water from the cucumber is very cleansing and cooling to the body. Good ole apple is alkalizing,rich in pectin and rich in malic acid for breaking down stones.


:)

[misslinda]

Kaler & Celery :)
-------------

in Food processor, combine

5 kale leaves with 2-3 celery stalks

process until like cooked spinach texture. Add 1-2 tsp of golden cold pressed flax oil and sprinkle grey celtic sea salt to deisred taste and mix.

Optional: few conservative drops of apple cider vinegar for zing and zest!

[RawTruth]

A crisp ripe apple -- take in hand, bite into it, chew and swallow.

A juicy orange -- pick up, peel, throw away the peel and eat the fruit.

Fragrant mango -- slice off the two "cheeks", score each half into squares, turn inside out, eat over sink.

Crunchy red pepper -- hold in hand, take bites until all gone.

Ripe avocado -- cut in half, remove seed, spoon contents into mouth.

Etcetera . . .

LOL.....alright genius how'd you think of that one? :p


.........leaving to create newer thread "Even more simple rawbies......" :D

[JMD]

MissLinda!!

I am finally here..

I love what is posted thusfar. My latest fave dressing that I put in my magic bullet is what i call Avocado mush. I mix: handful of cilantro and parsley, 1/2-1 avocado, juice of a lemon, and 4 oz cucumber. I blend it up to desired consistency adding water if i want it thinner . It is keeping me raw and lets me enjoy my greens without feeling like they are too dry or boring. Also I do't feel the digestive upsets with oversalting and spicing things like I get at my local raw restaurant etc...

Also, If one can handle citrus like oranges...a juicy orange blended with an avocado is a GREAT zippy dressing on some butter or leaf lettuces.

Keep them coming people..I love SIMPLE RAW eating!!

:)JMD

[misslinda]

JMD, now your on, I've been thinking of a creamier dressing and bought some organic iceberg yesterday! I have all those ingredients so I will make that today!


Merci :)

[RawMagnolia]

I found this on the RawGuru site:

Sweet Potato Soup (by Natalie Rose)

32 oz carrot juice
1 medium sweet potato
4 dates, pitted
1 avocado
several dashes of pumpkin pie spice

Blend until smooth

I think I'll be trying this soon... along with several of those listed above :D

[JMD]

WOwzers :eek: I came home from work and made the sweet potatoe soup and BOY is it sweeeeet! Super sweet. Almost sickeningly sweet. So just a word of warning for those who thought it might be good... you'd better like things sweet! :D

[RawTruth]

Too many dates!

[misslinda]

Creamy Yam Pudding/Porridge


1/2 yam or bartlett sweet potatoe

coconut milk

cinnamon and cardamom

raw honey or agave



Depending if you have a vita mix or FP/blender, your consitency will either be smoot or slight soupy with slight chutney texture.


Combine yam or potatoe with cocnut milk (add little by little to desired texture) in machine

Add sweetner to desired taste

Pour mixture in bowl and add spices to liking.

:)

[misslinda]

This was my dinner tonite!

I cruchy fjui apple sliced up on plate.


Dip: 1 bunch of cilantro,1 banana and 3 swiss chard leaves no stem,water

FP: All ingredients for dip except water . Slowly add water until a thin chutney mixture.


Pour into bowl and trim with apple slices.


:)

[rawpriestess]

One of my favorite simple recipes

is one frozen banana
1 champion juicer or food processor

blend the banana until smooth
and eat.

if you want to be more complicated

you can add

raisins
or nuts
or agave nectar
or honey
or dried fruits
or fresh fruits
or other frozen things

you can top your banana ice cream with these, or blend them in if you like.

it is always good
you can even add some carob or dates or both
mmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Smoothie]

heya smoothie,

thanks for that recipe cuz i have all those ingredients! :)

Thanks Miss Linda. I alwasy have that stuff too. It's qucik and easy. I love it!!!

Title: #466591 Lebanese Garlic Sauce
Categories: Lebanese, Sauces
Yield: 1 servings

4 Bulbs of garlic, peeled (please core the garlic therefore no b.o.)
1 c Lemon juice
1 ts Salt
3 c raw macadamia oil (up to 4)/ or raw avocado oil

Put in blender (NOT a food processor) and blend until smooth on medium. Add
in an extremely slow stream, 3 to 4 cups of Puritan oil. Blend constantly
on about medium. It should become like a thick white mayonnaise
consistency. Store in refrigerator in a glass container. Serve with meats,
as a seasoning in salad dressings or on pocket bread sandwiches. This is a
tricky recipe. Sometimes it "breaks". That is, it stays thin instead of the
mayonnaise consistency. The flavors remain the same. If it separates in
storage, just stir or blend again.

Ok. Please note. Olive oil does not work. real bummer, but that's the truth. Raw macadamia oil is good, raw vege oils are good, except sesame oil.

Now to score a touchdown with this, add a teeny weeny bit of sesame oil, to this mixture as you are emulsifying it in your food processor. Not too much, but this will kill all cravings for mayo, and is raw.

You can eat too much of this if you don't restrain yourself. :D ;)

Spinach Salad * * * * *
3 cups spinach
1/2 sweet red onion thinly sliced
1 small cucumber thinly sliced
1/2 red pepper thinly sliced
8-10 cherry tomatoes

Wash spinach, wrap in cloth towel, and place in refrigerator for a half-hour while preparing the rest of the vegetables.
Thinly slice onion, red pepper, and cucumber. Halve tomatoes. Tear crisped spinach into small pieces and toss with remainder of raw vegetables. Add your favorite healthy salad dressing.

I've always wanted to try that Labanese sauce, they have a cooked version here but this will help be more adventurous. :) Merci!

[misslinda]

Alirght, I"m graduating from amateurs raw culinary classes here :p

my latest creation...


Zuchini Breeze
--------------


1/2 medium zuchini-- all sliced with potatoe peeler and put aside in mixing bowl

Add into bowl of zuchini, 3 dashes of cayenne

2 tsp of extra virgin cold pressed olive oil

1/4 slices of avacado

drizzle honey on top--zig zag pattern

1/2 lemon of its juice

3/4 dashes of dill

1 tiny bunch of cilantro chopped

chop tops of 1 brocoli floret


MIX ALL TOGETHER.

A cool,sweet,zesty and satisfying salad.....makes you feel like Summer is here! :)

[greeninlosangeles]

Coconut pudding

meat of the young coconut(1 is enough for 2 little portions or 1 big)
several soft(or soaked)dates
Strawberries or milled chocolate nibs

Process together. Yammy!

[yumyum]

1 black salsify root (scorzonera root) - peeled and crispyfresh w. hardly any taste
spice - I use some hot meat spice mix my sister gave us and sprinkle on it

Start munching. :) It sort of gives me the fun kick of the spice, like with chips, and it's crunchy which adds to the fun experience.

[yumyum]

From www.learnrawfood.com/newsletter.htm

Raw chocolate cake (tastes like a fatty, intense cooked chocolate):

1½ cups raw walnuts
dash salt
8 pitted dates (medjool - I use ordinary small dry ones and use 9 or 10)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa or carob powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (I don't know what that is, so I used real vanilla corns)
2 teaspoons of water (I use 2½ teaspoons, because I don't use the extract water)

Blend in food processor. Try starting with the walnuts and salt, then add dates, cocoa, vanilla and blend again. When it's done, you take the "dough" and form a little round cake on a plate. This small portion is so dense, that it serves four.

Serve with raspberry sauce or fresh, soft fruit.

[yumyum]

I warm this gently: Raw Zucchini Pesto

1 medium/big zucchini - shredded to pasta threads

Pesto:
1 cup (1½ deciliter) packed fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons of pine nuts (I used almonds and ground them in a coffee grinder)
1 garlic clove
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (½ deciliter)
salt and pepper to taste

Blend the pesto ingredients in the food processor. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Mix the pesto with the zucchini pasta. Put in slightly warm oven (like for dehydrating). Leave it for 20-30 minutes. Eat it. I think it's better than cooked, and it has the heavy, fullflavored, rounded taste of cooked that I sometimes miss.

This can be warmed with fresh tomato's, diced, (spiced if you like). Or you can dice some mushrooms, let them marinate in tamari/ olive oil/ peppar and 2 spoonfulls of water, and let them be warmed in the oven with the pesto pasta.

PS; original recipe from:
www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/106932

[JMD]

That sounds sooooooo good. I am on a HUGE zucchini kick!!! One ?, I do not have a dehydrator, would I light my oven on lowest temp..then shut it off then place the zucchini in??

Thanks in advance...

JMD

PS misslinda .i loveeeeeee your Zucchini Breeze idea too!!! I can eat it dreaming of being in Hawaii.~~~~~~~~ :) ~~~~~~~~~~~

[DoinItRaw]

Thank you Misslinda for your new recipes...I am new to Raw,, and have been gradually introducing Raw into my diet. I have discovered the gastric benefits from it but Ihave a hard time with the the comfort warm food provides me...How do you get over that...Ifigure its probably a gradual thing...once myhead and body are insinc with the benefits of Raw that having to have warm food for comfort will deminsh!!

But I gradually read Allyssa book and try new recipes in it and shop for the ingredients needed little by little...and I am becoming Raw...everything is a gradual thing...

I am so glad this forum is here so I can take a peak into what everyone ekles is doing.
Thanks again!Alley :)

[misslinda]

I know Jen, that's weird...I'm on this zuchini kick too :p

YumYum,. you recipes make me wanna jumpinto the car in my bath towel right now and get htose ingredients!!!!!!! :D

DoinItRaw, Welcome and glad you found us! Hey, you can still warm your food but not above 105 degrees.

I keep most of my food in room temp--I don't like the coldness of the firg plus I buy few groceris at a time so it doesn't spoil in room temp setting. I als use a double pot to warm things like sun tea,fruits veggies etc before I use them.


Let us know how we can help! ;)

[yumyum]

JMD

PS misslinda .i loveeeeeee your Zucchini Breeze idea too!!! I can eat it dreaming of being in Hawaii.~~~~~~~~ :) ~~~~~~~~~~~Hi JMD :) Yes, I use the oven to warm this. We have a really old oven, so it turns gradually all the way up. It doesn't "click". So, I don't know how yours work. If you can keep it at hand-warm/ sunny windowsill kind of hot, then I think it would be fine. I'm not an expert, though. If a cooking thermometer can show the degrees, that might help.

Thank you, MissLinda. The cake and the pesto are my favorites right now. :)

[misslinda]

InDiAn ApPle

[RawYogini]

I duplicated this super simple treat that I had at Tree of Life. I love it as a snack or on top of salad.

Crunchy Quinoa

Soak quinoa overnight in filtered water. Drain and and rinse 24-48 hours until there are small tails. Squeeze lemon juice, sprinkle with celtic salt and toss. Spread out on dehyrator sheet and dehyrate on low setting for 6-8 hours until crunchy. Crumble on salad or eat as is!

[misslinda]

Rawyogini that does sound excellent! :)



March 11, 2006 Dinner
---------------------


In a bowl Mix,


1/2 mango in sliced up

4 stalks celery with it's leaves no stem

2 tangerines, I peeled and seperated and the other cut in half for squeezing juice on mixture.

Toss and ready to eat.

[PATH301]

1 cup of soaked walnuts
1/2 cup of vegan carob chips
1/2 cup of dates
put into food processor
then pour on raw dark honey mix it all around
Very tasty,(sprinkle on some cinnamon - option/ or cocanut flakes)

[misslinda]

That Sounds Yummy Path,,does It Come Out Liquidy Or Pudding Like? :)

[Rmiller]

This recipe is soooo easy and delicious. It's great for this time of the year since asparagus is coming in season.

Kreme of Asparagus Soup

Blend:

1 c cut up asparagus
1 c carrot juice
2 T tahini (I just stick in 2 T of sesame seeds instead and it works great)
1 t cut up onion or more to taste
Celtic sea salt (optional) - I don't use any
dulse flakes

Serves 1

[misslinda]

Rmiller,

does the dulse make it more seafood like? sound delicious :)

[misslinda]

Finished fasting last night and looking forward to transitioning back into food again.

I know there are other people that finished fasting so here are som recipes to try and I'll post news ones as they come up.


I can't wait to make Alissa's apple/avacado nori rolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[GlimR]

Tropical Pudding

Frozen Mango
(I always freeze it in chunks when I have too many ripen at once)
Frozen banana or banana ice cream
(I use this, kept in freezer)
Fresh papaya

slightly thaw the mago and banana (just till soft at the edges)
Put desired amount of each in magic bullet or vitamix.....awesome......absolutely!!!! :D

The frozen fruit makes it almost like sorbet~

[Linda1970]

Coconut Cream:
Ingredient: shredded dried coconut

Blend(I use Vitamix) until coconut is almost creamy. That's it.






Whenever I have a sweet craving for 'junk food', this satisfies me completely. It's sweet and rich. Before raw, I used to eat this all the time from http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/coconut_cream_concentrate.htm

After I learned that this company's coconut cream is not raw, I decided to make my own, which tastes the same. It tastes even better if you add a bit of coconut oil. Hope you'll enjoy it.

Thanks Miss Linda for starting this thread. It is very helpful to me since I now eat very simply.

[Pailani]

I love this thread, how did I miss it before?

Here's my contribution:

Frozen Banana Blueberry shake

2 bananas
about a cup of frozen blueberries

Blend until smooth.

------------------------

The local Keva juice bar always has these two ingredients, so I'm able to order this even when I'm out! :)

[light food]

The simpler the better! I used to struggle with recipes in books usually because I didn't have all the ingredients until I discovered it was easier to just throw things together. Raw cakes do not fall if you don't follow the recipe exactly! And it is so much fun to eat something and think about how you will improve it te next time you make it.

For over-the-top sweetness chop a banana into a bowl sprinkle with raisins and agave nectar!

Gespacho: Chop a tomato and 1/2 a cucumber into a bowl and add oil, vinegar, salt and other savory spices.

Khale soup: process 1-2 leaves of khale with a bit of water and oil, vinegar, salt and other savory spices.

Process dried fruit with enough water to make it stick and add coconut and process again.

[Kitty]

I love this thread! My fav quick snack is avacodo with kiwi! Its really yummy and green :D

[Naiad]

I just processed half a bag of frozen blackberries and also raspberries with a teensy bit of agave nectar and coconut water to make a sorbet.

I've always looked longingly at icecream/sorbet recipes that called for a real icecream maker and decided I was going to wing it :D

[codajess]

I love this thread! My fav quick snack is avacodo with kiwi! Its really yummy and green :D


Blended? Mixed? just cut up together? DETAILS, WOMAN!

[codajess]

I just rawized a semi-SAD dish my granny makes.

She mixes:
Cucumbers, sliced very thin
onions (I prefer sweet)
sour cream
dill
salt
pepper
white vinegar
sugar

When I stopped eating dairy, I always made it myself, exactly the same, but without sour cream. It really doesn't make much difference other than it's more liquidy.

Today, I made it:
Cucumbers, sliced very thin
Vidalia onions (which are, for some reason, spicy this year)
Dill
Sea Salt
Pepper
Apple cider vinegar
Agave nectar

This is one of those things where it gets better the longer it marinates in the fridge. Or you can eat it right away.

[NFrawRUNNER]

i made that for thanksgiving and didn't tell my family it was raw

i topped it with raw pecans

my two younger brothers LOVED it..two teenage boys that live off of pizza and chicken strips :rolleyes:

:D I'm going to try that! Did you make like 4 of each and in a pie plate? Interesting! and sounds yummy....Did you "set" it in fridge before serving? If so, how long before? I realize this thread is older but it's a great idea. I like simple. Too busy for fancy recipes! That's why I like raw!
