Raw Cornbread and (mostly) Raw Chili in the Dehydrator w Pictures

The man said to me after the RAW UNION festival, "are you inspired to make your yummy raw dinners again?" I love him so much. I've fallen out of my groove. It happened in February when the fam came to visit. Right after they left, someone came to stay with us for 3 months and I really fell out of the groove then. I'm here alone again and I want to try to find my groove again. Statements like the one above really help. Thanks, baby for being so supportive and understanding...














The corn bread is so easy to make.
8oz corn
half a carrot
rib of celery
3 tbs ground flaxseed
3 dates
1 tbs vinegar

Put all in FP and process until its a thick, chunky paste. Spread it on a sheet and dehydrate until it's as dry as you want. I like it thick and flexible for this recipe. Thin and crispier and it would be corn CHIPS, so have fun.






The chili is also very simple. About 15 minutes prep time. I make them both in the morning so they are ready by lunchtime. Then I can fridge them until dinner. Read on, Gentle Reader...











Today I made the chili with:

1 med carrot
2 stalks celery
1 bell pepper
2 roma tomatoes
2 leaves of kale, or more.

Chopped everything into bite size pieces. I used the processor to slice carrots, celery and pepper and hand chopped the tomatoes and kale.
Mix veges together in a flat pan. I used my 9x13" glass baking casserole. Put them in the dehydrator at 125 while you make the chili sauce.

5 roma tomatoes
1 avocado
2 tbs ginger, peeled
2 cloves garlic
1 med yellow onion
1/2 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp chili paste (this isn't raw as far as I know. You can use chili peppers, or cumin or curry powder, depending on your taste. It's chili, make it your own)

Pour this into your mixed veges and stir it up.
This is ready to serve now, or dehydrate it at 125 F until it's the consistency you want. I will pro0bably leave it in until noon and then fridge it until an hour before dinner when I will put it back in the D at 125F and serve immediately with the cornbread.

Ok, I will come back with photos of dinner. It tastes phenomenal. I may have a bit for lunch :)

I had some juice today, too. 2 heads of celery and a granny smith apple.
