Fun spiral salad!


 Ohhh look at the fun spirals.. it looks like pasta but it is a vegetable.. here I am using zuchunni or courgette..same thing.
If anyone wants to buy this fun gadget just google 3 in 1 turning slicer. I use mine every day.
You can made big spirals, little spirals, carrot spirals... sliced apples,sliced cabbage ect....




I make a salad for phill and I for work....
Spiralized zuchunni, cabbage, capsicum, spinach, carrot, mushrooms, beans, apple, currents, olive oil, grounded cumin, grounded coriander, curry powder, sea salt.

Almond treats


I was bored on Tuesday and decided to make some balls... the other day I tryed making almond paste but my food processor wasnt strong enough.. so I was left with half made almond paste.. it tasted exactly the same but just wasnt oily and properly done.. Anyways I scooped half made almond paste into a bowl, added a dash of coconut oil, a lil honey and some cacao powder.. Rolled into balls then rolled into broken up almonds :)
Very very easy and a good snack.. I always put the balls into the freezer.. I like them hard!

Carob Coconut Slice


I felt like something sweet so I whipped up this slice.
In the food processor I put:
1 cup of organic almonds
5 dates- that was all I had left
1/8-1/4 cup carob powder
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 Tbsp water.
Spread out into a cake tin or tray.
Put in freezer.

Topping
All the topping is, is coconut oil and honey.
 I used a Tbsp of honey and then poured in some coconut oil.. I didnt measure :)
Blended together in my cheap little bullet blender..Anything does the job..
Pour over carob base, I sprinkled some grinded up almonds on top,  you can use any type of fruit or nuts.. I did it while coconut still runny so it sets in the coconut oil. 
Put back into the freezer


Doesnt last long in the house!!! It was yummy..
