Sweet Potato Dream Pudding

I was thinking I should steam some sweet potatoes for the kids, when I started to feel a bit defiant! “I’m not steaming anything!” I said to myself. I pulled out the grater, and started to…

…grate a big, fat sweet potato. Then, I put the grated sweet potato in my food processor. After which point, I added:

1 dash of vanilla
a sprinkle of cinnamon
2 Tablespoons coconut butter
1 big handful of raisins (or dates, if that’s what you have).

Then I whipped and whizzed the ingredients together in my super Blendtec blender. It make a yummy, creamy sweet potato pudding and my daughter just loooved it! I played around with it and did layers of sweet potato pudding and sliced bananas. Then I decorated the top with raspberries, just for fun. The kids ate quite a lot of it and it was requested the next morning as a healthy way to start the day before school! Enjoy

“Anything Goes Into the Food Processor With Bananas” Cookies

I don’t know how this happened… perhaps it was a moment of divine intervention, but these cookies were a huge hit. My daughter, Mika, said,

“Mom, these cookies were fabulous. I took one bite, and then as the tastes stayed in my mouth after I swallowed, I just said to myself, ‘Oooooh yeah! Gimme another one of those!’” Here they are:

Ingredients:

I started out with about 4 ripe bananas, and whipped them up in the food processor. I added:

a splash of vanilla
a few pinches of cinnamon
½ cup- 1 cup of shredded coconut.
3 Tablespoons of ground flaxseed
a handful of sunflower seeds

Then I found a bag of about 3 cups oat flakes, and rice flakes, etc. I dumped these in, mixed them all up in a big bowl and then laid them out on the dehydrator trays and “baked” them at about 105 degrees overnight. Throw in a bit of Christmas spiceAhhh… Christmas baking! Just like the good ol’ days.
Lip smackingly yours,
