Here's the recipe for the cookies, they are actually raw cookies, deydrated in the oven at 170' or a dehydrator at a lower temp....

  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 1/2 cups cashews
  • 1 cup dates
  • 2 tablespoons agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut butter (also known as coconut oil)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of seasalt

    Directions

    1. Soak almonds overnight. You've gotta do it because the almonds need to be soft. Drain and rinse.

    2. Soak cashews for an hour. Drain and rinse.

    3. Soak dates for about an hour. Drain and rinse. (Note: Date soak water is sweet! Throw it in your next green smoothie or something. I never throw it away.)

    4. Process almonds and cashews in a food processor until they (almost) resemble flour. Add dates, agave nectar, coconut butter, vanilla, and sea salt. Process until well mixed and dough-like.

    6. Form cookies, add a drop of fruit jam, and dehydrate for ten hours or even up to a full day if you want them to be crispy. I like them quite soft, myself.

  • Shellie Smith http://intothegardenofeden.com/  This is our website. It is still under construction, but one will get the idea. Jamesey made these cookies, so I asked him to send you the recipe; blessings and thanks on the collaboration, Mardy. 

I'm so proud and pleased to introduce in this FIRST piece from this collaboration, my schoolmate from VERY young, Shellie Smith.  She is an amazing resource about the application and living of authentic mind/body/spirit concepts for wellness. Growing up, she was one of the girls I both admired and was jealous of.  Cheerleader.  Straight As. Good at everything.  I recall her being one of the best artists in my class as well.  Through a most interesting journey, she has found her abilities behind the camera documenting those living a health-full life is a way of sharing with those who might be open to learning.  Thank you, Shellie and all involved in being a part of the collaboration that is Lumigrate! ~~ Mardy
