Garlicky Raw Vegan Flax Crackers

The following “raw” flax crackers (they are dehydrated at 115 degrees F. over a lengthy period of time…. until you think they are crisp or chewy enough for you…18-24 hours) have 6 cloves of organic garlic in them. You can vary that, as you can all the additions to the basic flax seeds.

Yeah, I like garlic. I like garlic a lot. I like its astringent pinnng and its heady fragrance. It’s also very good for you because of the natural antibiotic effects of its constituents.

So, start by soaking in filtered water, for 12 hours:

  • 4 Cups of organic Flaxseed in a Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Cup of natural, raw Almonds in another bowl
After you have done this, then drain the almonds and spin them up in the Vitamix along with the following:
  • 2 large, juicy, ripe, organic Tomatoes
  • 3 stocks of organic Celery
  • 6 cloves of organic Garlic
  • 3 medium organic Carrots
  • 1 small organic Zucchini
  • 2 T. dried Italian herbs OR handfuls of fresh herbs such as Rosemary, Basil, Oregano, Chives, Parsley, etc. (to taste)
  • 2 T. Celtic Sea Salt (or to taste)
Mix the seasoned veggie-almond puree in with the Flax seeds. With a spatula (or the like), spread the ‘batter’ about 1/8″ over the surface of the dehydrator sheets (Paraflex or T-flex) on the trays.

Dehydrate at 115 degrees Farenheit for about 12 hours.
Peel off the sheets. Put them aside and turn over and put the crackers back on the screens without sheets to dehydrate again for another 6-12 hours.
Take out the dehydrated crackers and break them into sizes that work for your family/guests. Store in a container with a lid. Delicious with Guacamole or fresh Mango Salsa.

To your living health!

The fat?"  Well, the good stuff is all in the ingredients-- this is a whole food recipe which means we aren't using derivatives, we're using the real food, and it doesn't need to be gussied up with animal products to have incredible mouth appeal (that is what fatty, sugary, salty, custard-y textures and tastes contribute).  So, I say, try 'em and if you're disappointed, well, add some of the other ingredients... COOKIE INGREDIENTS (all organic and non-GMO) 3 well-mashed Bananas 1 C. Old-Fashioned Oat Flakes 1/4 C.

Pan-Fry Carrots (Roast Carrot Sticks)

Pan-roasted carrots (with some potato fries mixed in) Our younger son grows organic vegetables, fruit and berries on an off-grid community farm in the interior of BC.  We stopped in to see him the other day and came away with a load of last year's carrots, still as carrot-y flavoured and plump as the day they were dug from the ground, thanks to the hill-side root crop storage cellar.   Our granddaughters opted for fish and chips today for lunch, and some of the 'chips' were carrot chips.  They are also a great base for a roast carrot soup.  When you roast veggies, you get extra delicious flavour. PAN-FRY CARROTS (Roast Carrot Sticks) <more properly called: Oven-fried> Wash and scrape carrots.  Chip or slice into strips, as desired. Preheat Oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine: 1-2 T. Olive Oil 1 tsp.   Celtic Sea Salt 4-6     large straight Carrots , cut into chips or strips (as desired) Lay chips out on a cookie sheet
