Something extraordinary has happened. And I’m willing to bet the reason is entirely because of this raw food business that I’ve gotten myself into.
One of my scars is gone.
I had a half inch scar across one of my knuckles on my left hand. About half a week ago, I noticed that it was getting darker. I wasn’t concerned…just curious. I figured I burned it again and hadn’t noticed. Then yesterday the scar tissue came off! I couldn’t believe it! No scar. Right now there’s only a faint mark where the new skin is.
how. bout. that.
Now I’m curious about the other scars I have…
Time for a little dessert action. :) happy news, huh? Very. This recipe is for chocolate covered Halvah. And just a warning: you must love honey in order to love this dessert. Note: if you don’t have unhulled sesame seeds (which I didn’t), just use hulled sesame seeds for this recipe. Also, I had some trouble with it “setting” up. Next time, I’m gonna add more sesame seed “flour”…or go way off track and add almond flour.
Halvah
2/3 cup unhulled sesame seeds
1 ¼ cups hulled sesame seeds
1 cup raw honey
1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
Blend sesame seeds into powder. Transfer ground seeds into bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly by hand and shape into 1 inch thick rectangular slab. Refrigerate until solid about 1 to 2 hours. Cut into 25 cubes.
If desired (ha! If desired?!), pour chocolate oil over halvah before cutting into cubes.
Chocolate oil
Makes 2 cups
Note: If your coconut oil is solid, just scoop out what you need into a glass measuring cup, then put the measuring cup in very hot water. Works like a charm.
1 ¼ cups coconut oil, warmed to liquefy
¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons raw cacao or carob powder
3 ½ tablespoons raw agave nectar
Pinch of salt
Blend all the ingredients in a blender until smooth and fully emulsified. Store extra in fridge.
Smile. Eat. Enjoy. Repeat.
Ohmyword... das awesome! That's like a Master Cleanse story. I suppose, though, that a raw food diet is kinda like a Master Cleanse to the maxx so I shouldn't be surprised. :)
ReplyDeleteChocolate?! You can have chocolate?? Janet. Maybe I *could* do this! I've no idea what the difference is between a hulled sesame seed and an unhulled sesame seed... but if it was covered in chocolate sauce, I'd probably eat it either way.
STU!!! :) yeah, I was pretty pumped about that. kinda in awe of God too. ;)
ReplyDeleteyes. chocolate. it's amazing. and I have no idea what the difference is either, but the Halvah is incredible. I'm bringing you some. oh oh! I found a recipe for Chocolate Torte. I'm totally making it. someday.
That's amazing! Just going gluten free I've had some sores just magically disappear! Oh--I tried your green smoothie--it's great! Brian liked it, but still doesn't want to drink one. I made one this morning, added all my vitamins, some other frozen fruit, flax seeds, and cocoa powder... It will probably be my daily drink.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, Janet! Simply brilliant :)
