Chocolate Coconut Raw Food Energy Bars. ( an alternate to Brownies )  Print Friendly  Description: This is a perfect energy bar full of nuts, berries and seeds that will curb your hunger and look after any cravings. As it is full of nuts and seeds it is a great protein source and would be a good snack. Ingredients: 2 C pitted Dates 1/3 C agave nectar ½ C cashew butter 1 C ground almonds ½ C pumpkin seeds ½ C Hemp seeds ¼ C chia seeds ¼ C sesame seeds ½ dried Goji berries ½ C coconut 2/3 C organic chocolate chips or cocoa nibs. Directions: Mix all ingredients well in food processor. Spoon into 8 x 8 pan. ( I used a 9 x 13”) Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before cutting. Cut very small as they are filling, and individually wrap. It filled the food processor, so I ended up processing it in two batches. I added a bit of cocoa powder as well, used hazelnut butter instead of cashew, and added nearly ¼ C warm water to help it mix. Maybe try adding some cayenne? Yum. Could be rolled into balls.

No style is better than another; it's simply a matter of personal preference. More important than any style is the student-teacher relationship. Full Article

Lemon-herb Baked Rainbow Trout Category: Fish Description: A lovely delicate baked fish with lemon and french herbs makes a great light dinner or livens up some fresh salad greens. Rainbow Trout are rich in fat and have particular, natural fatty acids - the main component of fat - not found in any other foods. These fatty acids are missing many hydrogen atoms so they are highly polyunsaturated, more so than other polyunsaturated fatty acids in food. Also, they are longer than most other fatty acids. These structural differences give fish oil fatty acids their unique health properties. They are called "omega-3" fatty acids because of the location of the first two missing hydrogens in their chemical structure. The two main omega-3 fatty acids in fish oils are called EPA* and DHA* for short. EPA and DHA occur naturally only in seafood, and are abundant only in fatty fish and marine animals. Full Recipe
