Frozen Raspberry Pie Recipe - Back to the Cutting Board. Green Tea, Lychee and Raspberry Tart. I’ve been a lazy food blogger lately and I blame it in equal measures on the beautiful weather and on Trader’s Joe frozen tamales which are so delicious that I thought I could get away with spending less time in the kitchen and more time in the park.

Green Tea, Lychee and Raspberry Tart

Now that a wave of rainy weather is upon us I’m going back to my food blogger responsibility which is to feed my hungry readers who, I’m afraid, may be already all dead of starvation by now. Let’s hope this green tea tart will help revive them. Enzyme Pie recipe & digestion  Hi there beautiful people!

Enzyme Pie recipe & digestion 

I must ask you a question.. How's your digestion lately? Did you know that you are NOT what you eat - but what your body can ABSORB of what you eat? It doesn't matter that you are eating all the right foods, if your uptake is bad due to lack of hydrochloric acid (as in my case), have a leaking gut or a poor storage of friendly bacteria in the gut. Hypochlorhydria, lack of hydrochloric acid (saltsyran i magen) is very common. Warm Oranges in Sake Cream with Sesame Brittle Recipe. How To Squash A Chocolate Craving in 80 Calories.

So it’s Easter, Passover, Earth Day – so many holidays to choose from, and I decide to make…pumpkin bars.

Oatmeal Pumpkin Bars

What can I say, I’m visiting my mother and sister-in-law in Buffalo, NY and it’s cold and wintry and they had a can of pumpkin puree. It was a natural progression. I actually had a good amount of help with this one – my sister-in-law and I were talking about desserts I could make “my way” (meaning obnoxiously healthy) and she got out a cookbook with some bars and suggested I could use pumpkin. And oats. And pecans. She also showed me their awesome little hand grinder, which we used to chop up the pecans for the crust – you just put whatever you are grinding in the top and crank it and it falls into the bottom.

Pink Poodles Part II and Raw Blueberry Cake Balls

I ended up finding her and getting a picture of her in all her glory. Well one of my readers, Lisa from Happy Puppy Lucky Lady, was kind enough to provide me with evidence of another pink poodle. She was at a dog exposition and ran into a booth set up for advertising different dye modifications that can be done to a dog. Adam sometimes jokes that if we ever dye Cooper we should give him a cool pattern, like cheetah or tiger. Well the next pup, had a similar idea. Poor thing is probably pooped from all the attention. Although, she is the kind of white that takes dye well. Be sure to check out Lisa’s blog. If you have any pictures of unusually colored pups that you would like to share with me, I would love to post more pups in funny colors.

Today’s recipe has no artificial dyes or colorants. At the last minute I’m entering this in the Sweet or Savory (SOS) challenge. Avocado Ice Cream. I don’t know if you’re weirded out by my choices of ice cream flavors yet, but there are more odd ones to come!
