Fruit Strips
14 09 2010If you have a dehydrator, this is a great way to use up overripe fruit and make a really healthy snack for your kids. I especially love this during peach season. The banana is for the consistency not the flavor. Once again, these proportions are estimates. Just experiment for the best flavor and consistency.

Almond Flax Crackers
2 02 2010Tristan and I had a blast making these because if you have ever worked with soaked flax before, you know it gets a gelatinous consistency. Then if you process it in a food processor, that gelatinous substance becomes quite gooey. You can imagine what a 14 year old boy would have to say about that. We decided that the gelatin substance would make a great Halloween prank.
1 1/2 cups almonds, soaked 12 to 48 hrs.
2 cups carrot pulp (pulp is what comes out of the juicer separated from the juice)
3 cups flax seeds, soaked 4 to 6 hrs
1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
4 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp. Celtic Sea salt
½ to 1 tsp. Cayenne pepper
Process the almonds through a juicer using the blank plate or a food processor. Mix with the carrot pulp in a bowl. Process half the flax seeds in the food processor to chop up for easier digestion. Add the parsley, celery, pepper, and onion and pulse to combine. Combine with the rest of the ingredients in the mixing bowl. Spread the dough out about ¼ inch thick onto trays covered with a Teflex sheet. Dehydrate at 105F for 8 hours. Turn over the crackers, remove the Teflex, and continue to dehydrate until crunchy (another 6 hours at least.) Then break them up into the size crackers you desire.
