On going classes

Raw Food Classes

January’s introductory class was well attended and we all enjoyed a delicious celery soup, raw manicotti, Egyptian date candy along with almond milk and a green drink. Trent Smith gave us a very informative introduction to the benefits of raw food and we received wonderful feedback on the whole program. We are now earnestly planning our next class which will focus on Dehydrating foods.
Dehydrating food is a simple process, prepare your ingredients, place them on parchment paper and set the temperature at 115 degrees and leave for the required amount of time to remove most of the moisture without destroying all the nutrients which are vital for optimum health. The possibilities are endless with dehydrated foods. There are so many varieties in texture and flavor from savory to sweet and chewy to crunchy. But the best part is you can prepare them in advance, then have instant ready to go food. Lively up your salad with carrot bread, have granola with your almond milk for breakfast, or take a power bar on the road with you. Dehydrating foods makes your transition to raw food much more enjoyable and sustainable. Our February class will help you get started and give you the opportunity to try out several recipes while observing and assisting in the prep for these delicious foods.

February is the month of LOVE with the celebration of Valentines Day. Appropriately it is also National Healthy Heart Month. It is another opportunity to raise our awareness about improving our lifestyle through diet. Here is a little change you can make to break some old patterns without feeling deprived of the traditions revolving around celebrations. Instead of all that brightly wrapped sugar filled candy and waxy chocolate, try one of the simple recipes below, they are sure to please the biggest sweet fan you know and so simple to make. Don’t let the kids know they are also very nutritious and good for you too.
