Funny how the last three thread names I've been compelled to click on were about food...and I'm not even hungry o_O

Well today I made very special brownies for my sister-in-law's coworker......They came out so perfect and smelled so good and I didn't even get to try one!

Mexican burritos

Raw refried beans

1 1/4 cups sunflower seeds soaked for 8-10 hours in water, will be 2 cups when drained at end of soak period
1 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil
1/4 cup sweet onion diced (I prefer mine heaping as I like onion)
1/4 cup green pepper diced
2 tbsp (pre-soak measurement) chopped sun dried tomato soaked in 1/4 cup water
1/4 - 1/2 cup water
1 tbsp + 1 tsp lemon juice
1-2 cloves garlic diced (2 cloves makes it really garlicky)
1/2 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/4 tsp coriander powder
Small pinch of oregano
Sea salt and pepper to taste

Process everything (including sun dried tomato soak water) in food processor until desired consistency. Add more water if you prefer your beans runnier.

Simple tomato salsa

1 cup chopped tomatoes
Scant 1/4 cup sweet onion chopped
1/2 garlic clove minced
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
Dash of ground cumin
Sea salt and pepper to taste

Mix everything.

Cashew sour cream

1 cup (pre-soak measurement) drained raw cashews soaked for 12 hours
1/2-3/4 cup water

Blend until creamy. Place in lidded glass jar, leaving space at the top, and leave in non-drafty area to ferment (gives it that sour tangy taste) for 24-36 hours.

*A variation on this is to blend in the contents of a capsule of probiotic (you can buy this at most health food store) when blending the cashews and create a cashew yogurt from this. When yogurt has finished fermenting add chopped cucumber, ground coriander, ground cumin, diced jalapeno, cilantro, mint, and slices of green onion for raw vegan raita.

Using the above make wraps with raw collard greens. I like to add home sprouted mung beans as it gives it a little extra oomph. So incredibly good.

Here you go!

Oatmeal, Walnut and Dried Plum Cookies
(via The Kind Diet)

1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
3/4 c unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 c maple sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
1/3 c maple syrup
1/2 c safflower oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon molasses (I used blackstrap)
1/4 c chopped dried plums or other dried fruit
1/4 c finely chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. in a separate bowl, combine the syrup, oil, vanilla extract, and molasses. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir to combine. Fold in the dried plums and nuts.

Using your hands, roll tablespoon-size scoops of dough into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, and press down slightly on the balls to flatten the tops. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a baking rack to col completely.

For variety, replace the all-purpose flour with whole-wheat pastry flour, barley flour, spelt flour, or a gluten-free baking mix (choose one that does not include baking soda and baking powder). You can also substitute chocolate chips for the dried fruit and any kind of nuts for the walnuts.

Tallulah's notes: I didn't have maple sugar, so I just used regular, but I think the maple's a little healthier. I used canola instead of safflower oil. I used half chocolate chips and half raisins. These were SO delicious, and stayed fresh longer than cookies made with butter and eggs.

I tried to cook buckwheat hot cereal... :sick:

Does eating sand kibbles floating on top of a vat of hot murky water sound yummy to YOU?

Today I have prepared a vegetable-based dish.

I started with a huge chunk of iceberg lettuce. Then I shredded this and placed it into a large bowl.

I added cheese, leftover hamburger meat, sour cream, and tortilla chips.

Then I decided that, since this was a salad, I could spoil myself.

I poured some bacon ranch dressing over the entire thing.
