I saved the package (it was made by International Harvest and they have other flavors as well), and this weekend [...]]]> http://www.elanaspantry.com/gluten-free-granola/feed/ 29 http://www.elanaspantry.com/greena-colada/ http://www.elanaspantry.com/greena-colada/#comments Fri, 04 Sep 2009 17:30:53 +0000 elana http://www.elanaspantry.com/?p=4314 Even though summer is coming to a close, I'm still into my green juices and smoothies; more than ever, in fact.  This is one of my favorites and I owe credit to Meghan Telpner as it is based on one of the recipes from the Green Cleanse on her site.

Luckily, the parents (and [...]]]> http://www.elanaspantry.com/creamy-ricotta-dip/feed/ 16 http://www.elanaspantry.com/cucumber-avocado-gazpacho/ http://www.elanaspantry.com/cucumber-avocado-gazpacho/#comments Tue, 04 Aug 2009 01:59:21 +0000 elana http://www.elanaspantry.com/?p=6511 You will find this cool and creamy cucumber avocado soup refreshing on a hot summer day.  I've been drinking it all weekend and experimenting with it along the way. I tried making it with raw garlic, which did not go down as smoothly as I thought it would, so I eliminated that ingredient.  However I did [...]]]> http://www.elanaspantry.com/cucumber-avocado-gazpacho/feed/ 20 http://www.elanaspantry.com/raw-kale-shiitake-salad/ http://www.elanaspantry.com/raw-kale-shiitake-salad/#comments Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:44:37 +0000 elana http://www.elanaspantry.com/?p=5582 The other night I went to a fabulous event in Boulder hosted by Bauman College. During this evening one of the graduates from Bauman's chef program did a great cooking demo for a raw kale salad with shiitake mushrooms (it had a number of other ingredients as well). The next day, I was determined to [...]]]> http://www.elanaspantry.com/raw-kale-shiitake-salad/feed/ 11 http://www.elanaspantry.com/sesame-dip/ http://www.elanaspantry.com/sesame-dip/#comments Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:42:59 +0000 elana http://www.elanaspantry.com/?p=4382 Garnish this Sesame Dip starter with pieces of carrot and celery for dipping and you have an instantly satisfying salty and crunchy snack.  This dip is a hit at parties and was enjoyed at our Passover Seder (thinned out with a bit of water and) served over roasted asparagus.  It's quite versatile and makes a [...]]]> http://www.elanaspantry.com/sesame-dip/feed/ 11 http://www.elanaspantry.com/mckale/ http://www.elanaspantry.com/mckale/#comments Wed, 11 Mar 2009 00:53:06 +0000 elana http://www.elanaspantry.com/?p=3317 I am lucky enough to say that my boys love to eat kale. There was actually a kale incident the other night whereby I only made one bunch and some grabbing occurred at the table as the boys "fought" over it. Ok, sorry to brag, however this is what sometimes happens in my [...]]]> http://www.elanaspantry.com/mckale/feed/ 23 http://www.elanaspantry.com/raw-tapioca-pudding/ http://www.elanaspantry.com/raw-tapioca-pudding/#comments Fri, 23 Jan 2009 19:19:49 +0000 elana http://www.elanaspantry.com/?p=2376 Chia seeds are my new favorite food! Rich in fatty acids, these seeds contain more omega-3's than any other vegetarian source. They are also quite high in anti-oxidants, minerals and fiber.  Further, I find that they are quite soothing for my digestive system (and I'm always looking for a boost in that realm).

My older one prefers his steamed and tops it with ume plum vinegar and toasted sesame oil. The little one, however, joins us in eating my raw kale concoctions. These raw salads are super healthy, crunchy and quite delicious.
