100% Raw, Gluten-Free Tacos! The "meat" is made from a walnut base and is absolutely incredible. We both were blown away at how it tasted like the "real thing." We loved it so much we had it for dinner two nights in a row. The first night we enjoyed it in cabbage wraps with fresh fruit on the side.
Tonight for Taco Tuesday we had it on a corn crisp with all the fixings.
I served it with a big platter of food, sometimes it is more fun to make it yourself!
Homemade Guacamole...
Homemade Salsa...
With walnut taco "meat" that is out of this world! The recipe was inspired from The Rawtarian who I'm just beginning to follow and love!
Stack it, stuff it, sprinkle it, scoop it, enjoy it any way you please!
To make the Walnut Taco "Meat" all you will need is a food processor and the ingredients below. Combine all of the ingredients and process until desired consistency. I displayed the recipe as 2 servings but it could be 4 small serving as well, each time we had enough left for a late night snack. :)
*Tip: Sub zucchini for olive oil for an oil-free option. Salsa for Soy Free.
I thought it would be fun to end Vegan Month of Food and September off with a bang! A new raw, vegan and gluten-free recipe that is sure to please. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

It was a fun way to enjoy a delicious dip! We both LOVE hummus and it's been way too many moons since we last enjoyed some. We recently soaked and boiled chickpeas so it was the perfect occasion for a fresh batch of hummus. We couldn't help but enjoy every last bite.
The recipe hails from our Blendtec Cookbook with modifications for a garlic, herb and seed blend with red pepper flakes for a pinch of spice. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!
In Joy!

Creamy Cantaloupe mixed with coconut milk and agave for a divine and refreshing pick me up!
I haven't purchased a cantaloupe in a long time. Last week while at the market I couldn't help but pick one up. I could smell it walking down the isle and new it would be sweet! We both forgot how much we love cantaloupe, I have a feeling they'll be appearing in recipes more often. So sweet, so healthy and really good frozen, who knew? Once frozen and whipped with coconut milk and a dash of sweetener it is a soft, creamy, cold, icy, orange mellow cool smoothie!!
About a month ago I had someone write me offline asking about measuring their telomeres. They were excited to try our Starfire Gold and wanted to know if we had heard of anyone getting their telomeres measured. We hadn't heard of anyone following through or up with us directly. It turns out there are companies out there who do measure your telomeres! You can even order a DIY kit. I found this company and there are more.
If it weren't for my husband I would be reading this asking..okay so what are telomeres? As disclosed in his book The Anunnaki of Nibiru - he discusses this press release, telomeres and their effect on us!
Telomeres are comparable to the caps on our shoelaces for our DNA or genes; they protect them from shortening and fraying. Recent research is providing evidence for a connection between telomere length and lower incidence of disease and better aging. Meanwhile, others are studying how we can either preserve the length or elongate our telomeres with diet. They have found that a plant-based diet that is rich in folate, antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium), omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D is associated with longer telomeres.
WHOO-HOO - Insert Happy Dance here! I read it to my husband and gave him a high five!
Eating a healthy diet, getting regular movement and exercise, reducing stress, yoga, meditation and positive lifestyle changes can lead to a longer life and longer telomeres!
"There’s a little-known nutrient that can help.
It will give you a younger immune system, make your cells act younger, and you’ll be able to keep doing what you love no matter your biological age. I’m talking about citrulline. Citrulline is an amino acid. And it’s the main facilitator in the process that turns on a natural telomere protection factor called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide protects your cells and your telomeres, maintaining their length. Citrulline helps and improves the process that makes these telomere protection factors work. In fact, when researchers looked at citrulline’s effect, it increased your telomere protection factors by 300 percent! ...Watermelon juice also has more citrulline than the flesh, but you have to drink three glasses a day to get a good amount of citrulline for a telomere boost. ...The easiest way to get citrulline is through a powder or an extract. ...Just 50 mg a day of citrulline should provide you an additional telomere protection boost. "- Al Sears, MD Starfire Gold has been used for thousands of years for longevity. “The white powdered starfire gold was consumed by high-ranking Anunnaki, knowing that it activated the pineal gland, subsequently producing DMT which is somehow correlated to the production of the enzyme telomerase, tempering the damage to telomeres during cell division. A solution to the rapid aging process due to the short solar cycles on Earth had been found.” [pg 106] - Gerald Clark
It turns out cantaloupe contains Citrulline! Not a lot but I figure every bit can help! ;)
To make this healthy dreamy alchemical creation simply blend the following ingredients in a blender, scraping down sides as needed and sip to a healthier you!!! Cheers!

Today we enjoyed Fully Raw Lasagna! It was a very fun way to enjoy a LOT of raw vegetables and herbs, combined together layer by layer with love to create a big slice of flavorful raw lasagna! The recipe comes from FullyRaw Kristina! It was sent to me by a sweet friend and boy am I glad she shared. Here is the video with full instruction on how to make it. I subbed a few ingredients based on what I had in the kitchen. Making it work as Lindsay with Happy Herbivore would say! Mine looked something like this: More Zucchini Layers, a green layer, and raw marinara layer! More zucchinis, a green layer and then a cucumber nut layer...yum! ![]() More zucchini, a green layer, a red marinara layer topped with red bell peppers. Another zucchini layer topped with the cucumber nut blend and topped with cucumber, red bell peppers and red onion. The end product: Very nourishing, healthy, satisfying, fun, filling and tasty! We couldn't wait to slice into that beauty and dig in! I hope you enjoy this healthy fun way to eat raw vegetables! I was curious what it would take like cooked... I know I know it's supposed to be raw! With curiosity I heated the balance for dinner at 350 for an hour and it was insanely delicious. Oil-free, vegan and loaded with vegetables! We ate about 5-6+ cups of dark leafy greens, cups of herbs, onion, garlic, tomatoes, nuts, zucchinis, cucumbers and red bell peppers between lunch and dinner....wow...! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do! Thank you FullyRaw Kristina for your fantastic recipe and all you do for humanity!!!

Do you ever have one of those mornings where you aren't sure what to make for breakfast? I had 2 ripe bananas and an apple to work with plus other nuts and dried fruits.
I started combining all of our favorite snacks, bananas, nuts, prunes, dates. Then half an apple to bulk up the smoothie with flax meal and chia seed for a boost of vitamins and minerals.
The smoothie turned out so creamy, lush, silky and filling! It filled me up so quickly and left me smiling.
This smoothie is:
Save 1/2 of the apple, sliced and the coconut flakes to top. Place the rest of the ingredients in a blender. Blend for 45 seconds or until desired consistency. Top with apple slices and coconut flakes. Enjoy!!!
I have great news! Gerald received his 4th donation this month from Bella out of his home state of all places! It was such a sweet surprise to see someone from his hometown supporting him. Thank you so much Bella for showing your support and appreciating my husband. We appreciate you.
I sure do appreciate all of you - thank you for reading and following! Lots of love, Christa xo PS - I am SO excited about tomorrow's recipe.....hint....layered and creamy! Raw Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread

I love a good sandwich, don't you? Soft bread...
with fresh ingredients slathered in sauce and more bread.
It's even better when the bread is really good for you! A few months ago I stumbled upon a recipe for raw gluten-free sandwich bread from Super Kitchen Machine. It looked so good I could hardly believe that it was raw. I bookmarked it and have had it in the back of my mind since. With this week focusing on Rawmazing Recipes I thought it was the perfect excuse to make it.
With little effort I soaked, blended and molded the bread into a small yet beautiful little loaf. I turned it on for the night and by this afternoon we were making a sandwich with 100% Raw, Gluten-Free, Vegan & Kosher Sandwich Bread. It was absolutely delicious and turned out better than I'd hoped for. I can hardly believe it is raw!
To make this delicious bread you will need:
Directions:

To a vibrant healthy week!

Christa xo For Vegan Month of Food Week 3 I did my best to use wholesome nourishing ingredients that everyone could enjoy for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert! Click on the pictures below for the free recipe. I hope you enjoy the meals as much as we did! Apple Pie Oatmeal Last night we enjoyed a hearty white bean and lentil soup with the last of our gluten-free biscuits. The soup made such a large batch we had some more tonight with brown rice. I used the recipe from My Whole Life: Hearty White Bean Soup and added lentils based one what we had in our kitchen. It turned out so good! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are looking forward to a bright new week! Happy International Day of Peace! ☮
