Had to share - no flour brownies!! And a couple of other goodies.

So I was looking for more recipes that I can have, as I'm on a very strict food allergy diet - no wheat, corn, soy along with other things, but I can't have cocoa or chocolate yet, so I thought I would share this with my friends here!!

Here is the ingredient list:
1 cup raw walnut pieces
• 1 cup (packed) soft Medjool dates (about 10 to 11), pits removed
• 1/2 cup pure cacao powder or cocoa powder
• Pinch sea salt
• 1 to 2 tablespoons cacao nibs (optional)

I've made the Homemade Girl Scout cookie Larabars and the Cashew cookie Larabars - both quite good!!

Enjoy!!! I know I have!

Those look great! Thanks for sharing, Trav!!

Thank you!

Thanks for the recipes Traveler and Teragram!

Traveler, what in the world are Medjool dates? Can I go on one of them? (yeah, bad joke). Okay, I'll google them.. Duh!

Teragram, that salmon recipe sounds great!!

Anyone opposed to more recipes? lol

I saw this one popping up this morning: Strawberre almond muffins (they contain eggs, so sorry for those who can't eat eggs)

My daughter made blackberry banana muffins today. We have himalayan blackberries that are ripening now. They are the best berries around, but in my area, they're a problem. My daughter talked us into letting some grow, so I told her we could if they didn't take over since we had about 1/2 an acre of them when we bought the land. They're doing fine. They have so much more flavor than any other black berry and probably more nutrition. I think they were brought here by an immigrant a long time ago...maybe my Swedish relatives.

Wow, those Medjool dates sound good and I found an online store that sells them.

Marie, have to try those muffins, yum yum!! Garden Peace, you are so lucky to have those blackberries growing on your property.. I love blackberries!

Daisy's Mom, I have stayed away from tinned or canned fish for years for fear of how much mercury is inside. Do you have a fish store that you trust nearby as you can buy some fresh tuna? A good source of protein in a meaty form besides fish is chicken and/or turkey. Some stores will sell just a turkey breast which you can cook, then refrigerate and make a salad from that.

Here's a recipe I plan on trying (can't say anything about it until I make it) but it sure sounds good:

Raw Pate Recipe with Collard Wraps

Indian-Inspired Raw Pate Ingredients
◾1 cup walnuts
◾1 cup chopped carrots
◾1 cup chopped celery
◾3-4 soaked sundried tomatoes
◾Pinch of sea salt
◾Pinch of cumin
◾Pinch of curry
◾A few drops of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Place all of these ingredients in a high speed blender (Vitamix or Blendtec) or a food processor and process until it forms a pate consistency. I don’t recommend you use a regular blender, because it won’t be able to process the ingredients properly and may overheat.

The Collard Wraps instructions are in the link below:

Easy, healthy salad, and wonderful morning smoothie.

Salad:

Use local, organic greens or lettuce if you can. I grow my lettuce in pots on the deck, and put them in the shade during the summer.

Cover the plate with the lettuce. Add some sliced cucumbers, or any veggies. Add avocado, mushed or sliced. If mushed, you can combine with the dressing.

Mix tuna, sardines, or canned kippered herring with mayo.

Separate two eggs, and add the yolks only. Either use local eggs, or you can cook the yolks a little if you're scared.

Add one tsp. goat-milk kefir, or you can use something like sauerkraut, sauerkraut juice, etc.

Drizzle olive oil and lemon over the top.

That's it!

Smoothie:

Can of coconut milk
Scoop of protein powder or nut butter, or an egg.
Fresh or frozen organic fruit.
1/2 avocado (don't worry; it tastes fine).
A little spinach (it blends in fine).
1 tsp. spirulina.
2 tsp. ground flax.
1 tsp. glutamine.
2 capsules Transfer Factor.
1 TBSP. honey.
