SNACKS & APPETIZERS
Sesame Seed Crackers
Ingredients

1. Preheat oven to 375º or dehydrate
2. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Add only 1/4 c. water to start and mix with hands until dough forms. You are going to have to
squeeze the dough together a bit. If it is still crumbly, add more water until it all sticks together well, even though wet.
3. Place ball of dough on parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Take another piece of large parchment paper to put on top of the dough. With a rolling pin, roll out the dough between the two pieces of parchment until it is very thin.
4. Use a pizza cutter, sharp edged metal spatula, or knife to score dough into cracker size pieces.
5. Place in oven and bake approximately. 20 min. until they are light brown. Let cool 15 min. They will harden more as they cool. Store in a plastic container or zip lock bag. If crackers soften over time, stick them back in the oven to make crisper. These go GREAT with roasted red pepper and garlic hummus!
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Protein and fibre packed dip; this appetizer is perfect for parties or add veggies and Sesame Crackers to make it a satisfying meal!
Ingredients
● 1.5 cups garbanzo beans with liquid* ● ◦ (preferably made from scratch, but organic jarred will do) ● 2 strips roasted red peppers ● 1 clove garlic ● 2 Tb. olive oil ● herbamare or sea salt
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend thoroughly until smooth. If blender is getting stuck and needs more liquid, you can add water or chicken broth until blender runs smoothly. Season to desired taste.
Nana's Famous Chunky Salsa
This recipe is from my Nana and our family favorite! So fresh and delicious! Pair it with some organic, non-‐GMO blue corn tortilla chips and raw veggies and you have yourself a healthy wonderful appetizer.
Ingredients
● 2 firm tomatoes chopped ● 1-‐2 avocados cut into small pieces ● 1 sweet onion diced ● 3 green onions diced ● 1 red bell pepper diced ● 1 jalapeño pepper diced and seeded ● Juice of 1/2 lime ● 2 garlic cloves minced
Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix. Sprinkle with garlic salt or regular sea salt and pepper to taste.
Homemade Tortilla Chips
Ingredients
● NON-‐GMO Corn or brown rice tortillas cut into triangles or strips ● 2-‐3 Tb. Grape seed oil, coconut oil, or butter ● Sea salt ● Garlic powder (optional)
1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
2. Add tortilla pieces cooking approximately 45 seconds on each side or until light brown.
3. Place chips on a plate covered with paper towels to absorb excess oils. Sprinkle with salt and garlic powder.
**To Bake: Drizzle with olive oil and salt and bake at 375 for 6-‐8 minutes, then flip and bake 5 more minutes.
Stuffed Mushrooms
Ingredients
● 12 Mushrooms stems removed ● 1 onion diced ● 1 red pepper diced ● 3 garlic cloves shredded or minced ● ½ c. Almond flour ● 2 Tb. Raw butter ● Salt and pepper ● ½ c. Raw Shredded parmesan cheese
1. Preheat oven to 350º.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter and add onion, red pepper, and garlic... Stir occasionally until soft approximately 5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and add almond flour and desired seasoning, and stir until well combined.
4. Add mix to each mushroom by the teaspoon full.
5. Sprinkle stuffed mushrooms with parmesan cheese and place on a cookie sheet and bake for 8-‐10 minutes.
Homemade Corn Tortillas
Makes approximately 16
Ingredients
● 2 c. NON-‐GMO Corn flour ● ¼ c. Warm water ● ½ tsp. Sea salt or herbamare seasoning ● (Optional) 1 tsp. arrowroot powder, xantham gum, or tapioca flour –
helps them stick together
1 Mix flour, salt, and arrowroot or other powder.
2 Slowly add water while kneading and mixing with hands until a ball of dough forms. It will be more difficult to knead than regular flour, but will form a moist ball of dough.
3 Cover dough with plastic wrap and let sit 20-‐30 min.
4 Separate dough into small 2 inch balls and set aside.
5 Take two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper and place one ball of dough between the two. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a thin tortilla. You can also use a plate as a tortilla press and press down on top of the ball of dough so it forms a fat circle. Usually you will have to finish with the rolling pin to make it fatter. Peel off the top layer of paper and flip the tortilla over on your hand, peel off the second paper, and then place onto the preheated skillet on medium heat.
6 Cook until it starts to slightly bubble or about 30-‐45 seconds, then flip. If you cook it too long it will turn into a tostada, or a hard chip.
7 Repeat with remaining dough.
* Don’t have a rolling pin? Use a wine bottle, water glass or plate as a tortilla press

15 MOST IMPORTANT FOODS TO BUY ORGANIC
1 EGGS & DAIRY-‐ Animal products are more contaminated with harmful pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, and chemicals than fruits and vegetables and are the most important to buy organic. Organic eggs are higher in Omega 3 fatty acids which we need, and do not have harmful antibiotics or arsenic which is fed to factory chickens to prevent infections. Regular milk is loaded with artificial hormones, antibiotics, and due to pasteurization has absolutely no living beneficial enzymes to help the body. It is known as the white “puss” from the cow because many cows are infected. It has actually need found that cows with Leukaemia produce more milk, so some farmers have been caught injecting Leukaemia into the cows to increase their milk production. Can you imagine? 3 out of 5 cows are found with bovine Leukaemia virus or AIDS like virus. Who wants a nice big glass of hormone and virus filled cow puss? No Thank you!
2 BEEF & POULTRY-‐ Factory or conventional cows are corn fed and the majority of the time, that corn is genetically modified and filled with chemicals. They are fed corn because it fattens them up quicker which means more $$ for the producers. Cows were created to graze and eat grass. This builds lean muscle and creates healthier fats within the animal and therefore much higher quality meat for humans. Not to mention the taste is SO much better! Factory raised chickens are loaded with artificial hormones to cause them to mature to a full grown chicken within weeks as opposed to months which means again...an increase in sales and more $$. They are fed antibiotics because the living conditions are so poor that many get sick due to never seeing sunlight, no exercise, and poor quality of food. We ingest what the chicken ingests, so when we eat this meat, we are getting doses of artificial hormones, poor quality meat, arsenic, chemicals, pesticides, genetically modified corn, and antibiotics.
3 CELERY-‐ It has no protective skin so you can't wash off the chemicals and has a very high pesticide residue (64 chemicals found on celery!
4 PEACHES-‐ 62 pesticides have been found on these fruits and their thin skins make it difficult to wash. STRAWBERRIES-‐ These have long been one of the most sprayed foods on the planet. They have found 59 chemicals on these fruits. When out of season they are usually imported from other countries whose standards may be lower and more chemicals used. APPLES-‐ Like peaches, apples are grown with many poisons to keep bugs away. Scrubbing and peeling will not remove all of these toxin and the most of the nutrients of a fruit is found in the skin, so it is better to buy organic and eat it all. BLUEBERRIES-‐ Contaminated with up to 52 different pesticides.
5 NECTARINES-‐ now ranked with apples and peaches as one of the most contaminated tree fruit with 33 kinds of pesticides.
6 BELL PEPPERS-‐ Heavily sprayed with as many as 49 different pesticides.
7 SPINACH-‐ Now known as being the “dirtiest” green leafy vegetable around due to its high toxic residues of as many as 48 different chemicals.
8 KALE-‐ One of the healthiest foods on the planet is also one of the most contaminated ones.
9 CHERRIES-‐ US Government found 42 different chemicals on cherries and US grown cherries have as many as 3 times as much pesticide residues than imported ones.
10 POTATOES-‐ can have as many as 37 different pesticides.
11 GRAPES-‐ No amount of washing will get rid of the high amounts of residues on these grapes. Also consider organic wines as wine comes from these pesticide loaded grapes.
12 COFFEE-‐ This is one of the most chemically treated foods in the world and grown in petroleum based fertilizers. If you are a coffee drinker, definitely choose whole organic beans and grind them yourself to avoid petroleum and pesticides with your cup of morning Joe.
