Orange-Oatmeal Walnut-Date Brownies... Vegan, No Poured Oils

These whole food, plant-based orange walnut brownies are yummy, and compared to other brownies, pretty healthy.

Here are the list of Ingredients:

1 C. Pitted Medjool Dates
3/4 C. Hot Water
1 C. Rolled Oats
1/2 C. Walnut Pieces
1/2 C. Cocoa Powder
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
3 T. Maple Syrup
2 tsp. Orange Extract (or Vanilla if you wish)
Pinch Sea Salt

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 350F/175C
Pour hot water over the dates and let them sit in a bowl for about 10 minutes
Drain the water off and then blend up the dates in a food processor, scraping down as you go
Add oatmeal, walnuts, cocoa, baking powder, maple syrup, and sea salt.
Process until smooth, scraping down the bowl as you go.
In an 8"x8" pan, cover bottom with parchment paper and press in brownies
Bake 20 minutes
Let cool, and then cut into 16 pieces
You may store the brownies for up to 5 days in the fridge (in an airtight container)

Using the information at FitnessPal.com, I calculate that each brownie has about 175 calories... AND a whopping 13g of fibre!!

3 Quick Delicious Refreshing Carrot Salads

These 3 carrot salads are all vegan, but not all familiar. It only goes to show that carrots have a life of their own in the Veggie World. When I go scouting for a delectable and easy-to-make vegan recipe, I like to think I vet the best on the Internet. I check out various social venues-- Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest-- and google for the top-pagers as well.

The Power of Flowers

Fragrant Flowers on our Morning Walk In my more youthful days of gardening I was all about organic food plants. As I get older I have begun to enjoy planting and caring for flowers and herbs more. That is not to say that I do not have organic food gardening as a priority! This year my husband has stepped into the gap in a big way (the 'gap' being my spending less time in the garden). He has a 5-gallon pail of compost tea burbling away at all times, another pail of comfrey tea brewing under the grape arbor, and is experimenting with strewing agricultural lime in any patch of ground my eyes have fallen upon. We have just put in Saskatoon berry bushes, a few Sea Buckthorns, and 3 Sour Cherry trees (or bushes or whatever they will be) as well as the usual assortment of greens (kale, chard, collards, cilantro, parsley, romaine, etc.) and beans and a vast forest of little tomato plants, many donated by kind friends and neighbors. We also have a square foot herb
