They look more appealing in person. The lighting in our kitchen is a little lack luster to say the least. We actually bought a new light yesterday to replace this dim track lighting we have going on!!

Apple-Nut Cookies/Bars
Well these started out as what I thought would be "granola bars" but ended up being more like cookies. Either way, they are delicious and nutritious!!
5-6 organic apple ( I used a mix of granny smith & gala)
1 cup raw organic walnuts
1/2 cup raw organic pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds)
1/2 cup raw organic almonds
1 cup organic raisins (or dried fruit of choice)
1/2 agave nectar (or raw honey)
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt
Core & grate the apples (around 3 cups)
Coarsely chop the nuts (you can use 2 cups of walnuts if you do not have pepitas & almonds, or any other combo of raw nuts)
Put all ingredients into a large glass bowl and mix well.
Form bars or cookies with your hands and squeeze excess liquid into separate glass bowl.
Dehydrate @ 105 F for 16-20 hrs.
Will keep for up to 2 weeks in refrigerator (if you don't eat them all on the first day!!)
** Save the squeezed cinnamon apple juice! I drank half of mine and saved the rest to dip my cookies in**
This recipe can be modified to include any of your favorite nuts & fruits. Very simple & delicious!
I brought a handful of these to work with me today and everybody loved them!

Strawberry Almond Milk
I was just sitting here on the couch reading a book when "strawberry milk" flashed on my brain. I have not drank "real" milk since I did the "30 days in the cave" challenge a few months ago. I have been making nut milk, usually almond, for the last few weeks. Making a large batch about once a week and using it as i need/want it. Luckily for me and my strawberry milk craving there was some in the fridge tonight.
I took 6 fresh organic strawberries, which were already cleaned. I tossed them in the food processor and turned them to mush. Then I scraped the sides with a rubber spatula. Next I added about 1 1/2 cups of almond milk and blended until the milk turned pink and all chunks were gone. Poured it into a tall glass and drank it down.
Very Yummy!!!
*** I also made a green smoothie for dinner, details to come when I have a little more time...It definitely was not as bad as I thought it would be.***
