I had a hankering for some curry the other day, and threw together a little curry pate. It was really easy to make, and was quite nice in lettuce wraps with sliced veggies.
Curry Pate
2 cups sunflower seeds, soaked overnight
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons raw honey or agave
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
cayenne to taste
Place all ingredients in food processor and process until smooth.
The Banana Cream Pie from Sweet Gratitude I mentioned the other night is incredible. It was pretty easy to put together, and is nut and cacao free (aside from the extra chocolate sauce I swirled on top of the coconut cream).
 |
| crust + layer of sliced bananas |
 |
| bubbly banana filling |
 |
| chocolate and caramel swirls |
Two pieces of advice:
1. Read the entire pie recipe before getting started. I didn't notice the second page warned against using brownish bananas. Ripe bananas taste fine (probably better), but the color is not very appetizing.
2. Use a lot of coconut oil to grease the pie pan. I used a little and the lovely crust refused to unstick itself from the pan.
Question: Did you celebrate Valentine's Day?
love the swirls! didn't celebrate - we treat everyday like vday in my house. ok, most days.=)
ReplyDeleteThat swirl is just stunning. I love curry too. Love the picture of you splitting and stacking wood--I suck at that, but Phil loves to do it, so I leave it to him...
ReplyDeleteWe had a little V-day celebration, sort of, just took some time out to enjoy each other and the sunshine...
love

ReplyDeleteThank, Kelli! Love your v-day philosophy. :)
You are so sweet, Ela. I used to hate splitting wood, but I think I kind of love it now. It gives me such a wonderful feeling of accomplishment and it's great exercise.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until it's light when I get home from work and we can take an evening walk in the sun! We're gaining 6 minutes a day, so it shouldn't take too long.
