Yes, I Eat Seaweed!

-

Yes, I do eat sea vegetables and I love them! I decided to make a sea vegetable salad and serve it on a bed of kelp noodles. I adore kelp noodles. I have made so many different recipes with kelp noodles. Kelp noodles have no flavor, so they take on whatever flavor your recipe has. They are just a great raw substitute for traditional pasta!! I will share my other kelp noodle recipes at another time. Let's finish talking about this salad. If you are in any way curious about sea vegetables, this recipe would be a great one to start with. I bought one bag of kelp noodles called, "Sea Tangle Kelp Noodles" and one bag of  "Sea Tangle Mixed Sea Vegetables". If one person is eating these, they go a long way. I have made several different dishes with the same 2 bags. I store them in ziplock baggies in the refrigerator. The kelp noodles need to be stored in fresh filtered water and the sea vegetables come packed in sea salt. Let me share my recipe with you:

Sea Vegetable Salad on Kelp Noodles

1 1/2 C kelp noodles, rinse and soak in water for 30 min.
1/2 C sea vegetables, rinse off the sea salt they were packaged in
1/2 C chopped cherry tomatoes
1/2 C peeled and chopped cucumbers
1 large carrot, shaved into strips w/ vegetable peeler
1/4 of a red bell pepper, diced
1/2 C yellow squash, cubed
1 clove pressed garlic
1/4 C red onion, sliced thin
1 tsp ginger
pinch of cayenne
1/4 C cold pressed olive oil
1/4 C fresh lemon  juice
1/4 C fresh lime juice

After the kelp noodles soak for 30 minutes, rinse and drain them. Put kelp noodles onto a large dinner plate. Set aside. Prepare vegetables and the sea vegetables. Rinse off the salt that the sea vegetables were packed in. Place all of the vegetables into a bowl. In a small food processor or a blender, prepare the dressing. Add the lemon juice, lime juice, cayenne, olive oil, ginger and garlic. Blend well. Pour dressing over vegetables and gently mix. Place your sea vegetable salad on top of the plated sea kelp noodles. Enjoy!

The other day I came across an article, by Thomas Stearns Lee, NMD, which contained recipes for seed cheese and seed yogurt. His recipes call for Rejuvelac and sunflower seeds, but as usual I improvised and used things I had on hand and created the same end result!  I decided to make the savory Seed Yogurt to be used as a base in my salad dressings or sauces. It was incredibly easy and delicious.  ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ Pumpkin Seed Yogurt By Elizabeth @rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (or raw sunflower seeds) 1/3 cup raw sesame seeds 8 ounces of filtered water 2 vegan probiotic capsules Pinch of Real Salt 1 tsp fresh lemon juice Soak the seeds for 6 hours.

Raw Vegan Spring Rolls

RAW VEGAN SPRING ROLLS By Elizabeth www.rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com Yesterday was another fun day of creating raw, vegan recipes. I was determined to make an alternative to rice paper wrappers when making spring rolls. The texture of this raw, red cabbage is amazing! I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. It is a simple two step recipe to tenderize the red cabbage all the while preserving the essential enzymes and nutrients that raw cabbage possesses. The many health benefits of raw cabbage motivates me to always try and eat it uncooked. But sometimes I prefer it soft vs crunchy, and here is the perfect way to enjoy it.  The first step was to cut out the tough core at the bottom of the cabbage. I then cut about a third of one side off so I could more easily separate the cabbage leaves. Next I placed 7 cabbage leaves in a square glass dish and filled it with water. I then placed this dish in the very bottom of my Excalibur dehydrator.  On the top rack I

Simplifying the Concept of Proper Food Combining

Watch Dr. Clement from Hippocrates Health Institute discuss food combining in a very simple way. His explanation is the one that really stuck, I get confused by the fancy food combing charts out there. He gives you the nuts and bolts of proper combining. Enjoy! Please note that I am terrible at food combining. I eat things together that shouldn't go together, because they taste good together, with the exception of melons; I only eat melons alone!!! I cannot have them with anything else or I double over in pain and bloat. I am a work in progress and some day I will practice proper food combining. If you'd prefer to red about food combing, just look at this info I found at http://www.raw-food-health.net/Raw-Food-Combining.html Raw Food Combining: Your Options Your options for raw food combining fall into 11 categories based not on culinary classifications, but on the actual composition of the food. If you're eating well, though, there are only really eight c
