Raw Banana/Mango Pecan Pie

This Raw Banana/Mango Pecan Pie rocks. If you do not have a dehydrator, use your oven. 

Here is the recipe:

Raw Banana Mango Pecan Pie

5 bananas

1 mango sliced

1 cup pecans (soaked in water for 1 hr)

1 1⁄2 cups pecans (not soaked)

6 oz filtered water

5-10 dates, soaked

1 tsp vanilla

1 heaping tsp raw honey (or more to taste)

A dash Tamari or Nama Shoyu

Soak one cup of pecans in water

 

Fruit Crust

In a glass pie pan, arrange one layer of sliced bananas (2 1/2 bananas should do it).

Lay the banana slices in a spiral pattern with one slice slightly overlapping the other until you have covered the entire pie pan.

Put a layer going up the sides of the pie pan as well.

Cut the mango into thin (1/4 inch) slices and layer over the banana. Put another layer of bananas over the mango. Compress the fruit down evenly with your hands. Set aside.

Pecan Cream Filling

Put 1 cup of soaked (drained) pecans, dates, 6 oz. filtered water and vanilla into blender and blend into to a fine cream. Taste the cream, and if it is not sweet enough for your taste, add more dates.

Pour the Pecan Cream Filling over the fruit in the pie pan. Put into dehydrator at 95 F for 3 hours, or your oven at the lowesttemperature possible.

If you are using an oven make sure you keep a good watch on the pie. Depending on the temperature of the oven, it could be that only an hour is need, perhaps even less. The idea is to get the mixture to congeal and NOT cook.

Blend honey with just a little water and a dash of the Tamari orNama Shoyu.

Toss the soaked pecans by tossing gently with the honeyed water to coat the pecans.

When the pie is ready, out of the dehydrator or oven, place one layer of the honeyed pecans on top of the pie. Place them in a circle inside a circle, artistically placed towards the center of the pie.

Chill pie for one hour or longer before serving. Keeps for a few days in the refrigerator.

What Do You Want? How Can I Serve You?

With this turn of the seasons I contemplate my year. I am finishing a book and planning retreats for the spring. Before I finish though, and before I put my plan into place I need to hear from you.

I have this blog, am opening a studio so I can produce more video, and I have a book close to completion.

So, you say?

Well, I sit here looking at a blank space while I try to figure out how to fill it. Now, I can either hit or miss, or you could give me feedback with how I can serve you best.  Please, I am begging to know.

For instance:

Do you need health information? Do you want to learn more about supplements? Do you need more skills in the kitchen? Do you want nutritional advice? Do you want to loose weight? Do you just want to feel better?

Do you need inspiration? Do you want to have retreat experiences? Do you need to enhance your digestion? Are you sick and do you need to heal?

Do you want to learn physical techniques for strengthening your spine?Do you want/need a coach? Do you need to get your ass out the door and move? Do you need more lifestyle practices to bring you peace and lessen stress?

Please let me hear from you so that I can give you the experience of my 70 years in health and wellness, stress reduction, healing, cleansing, yoga, supplementation, and alternative healing modalities.

Like I said on my website, I did not get this healthy lean body by eating Twinkies and drinking colas. Nor did I get it by lounging in front of the TV. But, of course I still do that.

Many challenges have come my way, like us all, and I have found ways to move me along happily and healthfully. It is not always easy, but it is better than being sick and tired. Fortunately I have learned and been inspired by many others, and I am sure we can learn even more together. Let's benefit our tribe and share our wants and needs along with our gifts and inspiration.

What do you need, how can I serve you? I want to know. I need to know. Below is your opportunity.

Thank you from every ounce of my being. Aloha, Teton

Swiss Chard a la Sesame & Flax/Pumpkin See Oil Sauce

These are my favorite Veggies made with what I call, the a la Oils method.

Swiss Chard and/or your favorite veggies steamed or boiled.

Choose any of your favorite vegetables and use the formula below for the most sensual healthy vegetables you have ever had. Amazing favorites include all varieties of Swiss chard and mustard greens. More rich and tasty dishes are mentioned below that include other vegetables like beets, carrots, broccoli, and squash; all prepared with the following formula:     

You Will Need the following 3 Basic Ingredients in addition to the vegetables of your choice: This dish is superb when made with Swiss Chard.

 

1.    An Excellent Oil:  Cold Pressed oil such as; pumpkin, flax, or oil blends, such as Barlean’s Essential Woman, Barlean's Omega Man, or Barlean’s High Lignan Flax Oil (the high lignans provide a delicious nutty flavor). These are all delicious oils.

2.    Sesame Seeds - (hulled, white raw seeds). Ground sesame seeds in a small coffee grinder to make them fluffy with a similar look to parmesan cheese. Store in covered glass container and they will last for weeks in the fridge.

3.    Organic Wheat Free Tamari and/or Celtic Sea Salt (Grey, or Flower of The Ocean from The Grain & Salt Society: www.CelticSeaSalt.com)

Wash vegetables and trim off big white stems from chard if you like. If the vegetables are not hard and do not require a knife, do not cut. Use your hands to tear them into smaller pieces. This will make them much easier to serve and eat.

Cook them by steaming or slow simmer. I have been told that the best way to cook Swiss Chard is to cover it with water, boil for 4 minutes and pour off the water and serve.

Transfer cooked vegetables into a serving dish.

I like to use a shallow casserole dish that is even on the bottom. If you have cooked the vegetables in water include a little of the juice – not too much as to dilute the sauce that you are about to make.

Here is the fun part!

Lavish the following ingredients on top of the veggies.

1.    Ground Sesame Seeds – put on a lot – cover the veggies (to get an idea of how much, use approximately 1 tablespoon for a single serving). It should look like it is covered with snow – nice and white.

2.    Pour on the oil – be lavish (you will want to use a minimum of 1 tablespoons per serving).

3.    Tamari to taste. Be careful not to use to much as Tamari can be overpowering and salty. A little goes a long way. You can always put on more after you do a taste test. I actually prefer to just use Celtic Sea Salt.

After putting on all the ingredients, take a spoon and gently kneed the topping around a bit. The sesame seeds will blend with the oil and make a light sauce with a rich sesame tamari flavor.

* Sesame seeds are the most flavorful for many of your favorite vegetables, but you don’t have to be limited to them. Ground pumpkin (pepita) seeds (raw) are also wonderful, especially on salads.
