    Apricot Cobbler {turned healthy}

     

    I am SO excited about the summer season - TONS of fresh, local and my fav fruits in season. I have this theory that I made up a few years back - EAT tons of local seasonal fruits and veg and you will boost your immune system. The local and seasonal part is the key. I do it with my kids and they seem to be flu and cold-free most of the year {maybe one a year if that - SO FAR}! Roman has yet to be sick and he's a almost 14 months old.

    Anyways...so...

    I woke up last night dreaming of apricot bars {I definitely don't eat those anymore}. My girlfriend Kelley Lilien and I used to make them with oats, flour and butter as a crust then topped with apricot preserves {store bought}. They were to die for. 

    So I thought to myself, hmmmm, wonder if I could come up with something comparable? Luckily I had local seasonal apricots on hand. 

    My recipe makeover turned out AMAZING, but not as firm as I'd liked. So, I am calling it a cobbler! The whole family enjoyed it, together with a scoop of Tomberlies raw vegan ice cream! YUM!

    Recipe

    Preserve

    4 apricots
    1.5-2 lemons, juiced {depending on size}
    ⅔c agave nectar
    1 teaspoon Kuzu {wild root starch} OR  chia seeds

    Dough

    1 teaspoon salt
    1 c macademia nuts
    1 c oats
    6-7 dates
    3.5 Tbls cacao butter, liquid 

    To make Preserve: In a Vitamix add first 3 ingredients. Then dissolve the Kuzu in ½c water, heat for a few seconds in a pan and it turns to a thick mixture. Add 3 Tbls of mixture to the Vitamix. 

    Blend until smooth with maybe a few chunks. Put in fridge until ready to use. 

    To make dough: in a Cuisinart chop mac nuts, oats, dates, salt until you get a course mixture. In a sauce pan warm cacao butter until it turns to liquid. Add to mixture and blend for about 30 seconds. 

    Press dough into glass pan, reserving about a half cup {as shown below}, pour the preserves over the top and then lay the rest of the dough on the top of the preserves. 

    Dehydrate for 5 hours OR if you don't have one or care to dehydrate, put in the oven on 170 degrees for 2-3 hours. Let cool. 

    NOTE: YOU WILL HAVE LEFT OVER APRICOT PRESERVE. USE IT TO MAKE A GREEN DRINK OR WONDERFUL SMOOTHIE! THAT'S WHAT I DID. 😉

    Enjoy!

      This looks so good. I make homemade lara bars, and a few days ago I made an apricot-almond larabar. It was so good. You would probably love it . Thought I would share.

      Apricot -Almond Larabar

      Use 6 tablespoons coarsely chopped dried apricots and 2 tablespoons date (to measure 1/2 cup total)
      1/3 cup almonds
      1/8 tsp cinnamon

      Set out two pieces of plastic wrap for shaping and wrapping the bars. Do this first; you’ll have sticky fingers when you need it.

      Place the dates and apricots in a food processor. Pulse until processed to a paste. Transfer paste to a medium bowl (don’t clean processor).

      Add the nuts to the processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the nuts, along with the cinnamon, to the bowl with the fruit paste. Use your fingers to knead the nuts into the paste

      Divide mixture in half. Place each half on each of one of the sheets of plastic wrap. Wrap the plastic around each bar and start pressing into a bar shape form, press against countertop to flatten bottom side, flattening top side and ends with flat of hand. Tightly wrap the plastic around each bar and store in the refrigerator. Makes 2 bars.

      To make 4x as many :

      1 1/2 cup coarsely chopped dried apricots
      1/2 cup dates
      1 1/3 cup almonds
      1/2 tsp cinnamon

      because 2 bars isn't nearly enough !

    Move over eggs. This tofu scramble is comin’ in hot! 🍳
Just 5 minutes and you’ve got breakfast. So often I get asked for breakfast ideas when transitioning to a plant based diet. This is a great egg sub and is savory and high in healthy protein. 
1 cube medium hard tofu 
1 tsp turmeric 
Salt and pepper to taste. 
1/2 Tbsp olive oil or other cooking oil 
In a frying pan sauté on medium high heat for 5 minutes. Stirring often. Add garlic or onions or cheese. I added spinach to mine. 😋

    Let’s get real : Succeeding at anything takes discipline. Even manifesting takes discipline. Often clients say that they tried this diet or that diet. And they can’t seem to reach their health goals or heal or lose weight. And every time we take a deep look it’s because there really isn’t the discipline they think there is! The same way a fish doesn’t see water we have a hard time recognizing our own self sabotaging habits and patterns. 
I’m not talking about restriction or lack or counting calories or counting fat grams. That’s old-school. Don’t confuse discipline with restriction.
P.S. this my first attempt at trying out trending audios😜🤷‍♀️

    Damn this combo of garlic, ginger and tahini over sautéed potatoes is 💣. I love tahini dressing because of how creamy it gets without using cashews or dairy products. I first sautéed the potatoes in vegan butter. I added a few shallots for fun. THAT’S IT. If you cut them thin enough they cook in just 5-6 minutes on medium high heat. I added raw kale to them for added fiber and minerals. 
Dressing 
2 cloves garlic
1/4 inch piece of fresh ginger
1 whole lemon
2-3 Tbsp sesame oil, 
1 heaping Tbsp tahini
2 Tbsp water
big pinch sea salt. 
blend it all together until creamy and chunk-free. 
Enjoy

    LISTEN 👂I wish somebody shared this wisdom with
    LISTEN 👂I wish somebody shared this wisdom with me when I was younger. 
I used to think perfection was actually THE goal in life. Literally that’s what I thought - be your best, do your best, be the nicest, get the best grades, look your best, date the best, eat the best, do no wrong, don’t argue, be happy and makes others happy, give give give…and if I didn’t accomplish those things I was very concerned. I wondered what was wrong with me and punish myself. I know…laughable right? But nobody told me otherwise🤷‍♀️ 
This is what a version of codependency looks like: perpetual state of feeling not good enough, constant state of fear or fight or flight…exhausting, defeating and eventually leads to dis-ease. A victim in almost all areas of your life: “Why is this person being awful to me, why am I sick when others are well, this isn’t fair”. 
After deep healing and self exploration, I clearly see how my ways of looking at life, my own actions (people pleasing or having no boundaries), attract the abusers, users, haters, broken people; I attracted people to treat me poorly. 
So, this is what is meant by “taking accountability” for your life and understanding why certain things are happening “to you”. 
Not everybody is supposed to like you or agree with you or UNDERSTAND YOU. But taking it PERSONAL (becoming a victim) is your choice. Being Treated with complete disrespect is THEIR choice. Playing IN THE game of TOXICITY however is also your choice.
Freedom is attainable. Healing is attainable. Harmony and peace are attainable. It just requires radical self awareness. Today I choose to break the rules that were never there to begin with.
