Doggies Playing
As many of you know, I have a big dog and we’ve recently taken in a stray puppy who had a broken arm (details here). Thought I’d share some fun video of Miso the puppy playing with our big dog, as well as my mom’s little dog. Uh oh it appears that YouTube isn’t allowing my video because of the music I added(?) so I’ll try to fix later. It’s such a fun video. OK, update, I tried posting it using Vimeo, but not sure if everyone can watch?

Raw Vegan Recipe: Cayenne Tahini Dressing (Video!)
I am still getting emails from people who love this recipe that I shared in my last email newsletter so I thought I better get it into more hands and blog it.
Cayenne Tahini Dressing
By Kristen Suzanne of KristensRaw.com
Yield 1 cup
I love this dressing so much. During the month of December, I made it so many times that it probably graced about 22+ salads in that time. It’s so simple, delicious, and creamy. Don’t let the “cayenne” in the title discourage you from making it, as you can adjust that amount to suit your taste. This recipe is great on fresh, crisp romaine salads and as a dip for veggies. I crave its deliciousness and can’t seem to get enough! It’s a recipe from my book and ebook, Kristen Suzanne’s EASY Raw Vegan Salads & Dressings.
1/4 – 1/2 cup water or raw olive oil (I usually use 1/2 cup water)
1/2 cup raw tahini
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or lime juice
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (I usually use 1/2 tsp)
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan crystal salt (I usually use 1/2 tsp)
Blend all of the ingredients until smooth, adding more water as needed (or you can use a mixture of water and oil if you’re aiming for an extra creamy, rich dressing).
Serving suggestions:
~ I love how organic romaine lettuce beautifully holds up to this dressing.
~ Perfect for jazzing up any raw organic veggies like carrots, celery, red bell peppers, cucumbers, zucchini… the list goes on and on.
~ For cooked foodies out there… dip sprouted bread or toast into it!
Variations:
~ Have fun and make it different each time. Add a handful of organic basil, and then the next time try a handful of organic cilantro, or try a handful of organic parsley. They’re all delicious!

Raw Vegan Recipe (video): Butterfly Blossom Smoothie
After I made the video showing you how I open a young Thai coconut, I wanted to make a smoothie I’d been tossing around in my head that included young Thai coconut. I grabbed my camera and recorded the following video, even though I hadn’t made the recipe until now. How will it turn out? You’ll have to watch to find out. As you’ll see, I didn’t have a name for the recipe at the time of recording, but here is what I came up with: Butterfly Blossom Smoothie. It seemed just right. :)
OK! I am cracking up at the shot YouTube automatically chose to show in the beginning of this video. hahahaha – I think I’ll keep it like that.

How To Open A Young Thai Coconut (video)
I’m frequently asked about the easiest way to open young Thai coconuts. I made a quick video showing you just how I do it. Enjoy!
Links to the equipment I used:
MAC Knife
Cleaver
Fruit Scooper
Here is a link to the organic coconut I’m going to buy. Has anyone tried them? UPDATE: Bummer… I placed an order and they emailed me the following information: The shipping method you chose is taking two days to Arizona. We have had trouble with 2 day deliveries in the past and can therefor only guarantee the product if shipped over night. Shipping the coconuts overnight would cost an additional $40. Please let me know if you would like to upgrade your shipping mode. An additional 40 bucks? Yikes, I think I’ll pass. In the comments you’ll see someone suggested another company from Florida. I think I’ll try them.

Raw Vegan Recipe (video): Cherry Chocolate Bomb Shake
Here is one of my latest and greatest concoctions! I love it so much that at night when I’m going to bed, I’m already looking forward to the next day when I get to make it. It’s that good! I named it Cherry Chocolate Bomb Shake because it’s the bomb! This fun shake is loaded with superior nutrition including superfood hemp seeds, raw chocolate powder, and hemp protein powder, along with organic fruit. It has about 35 grams of raw vegan protein, which is great for the little baby growing inside me. Oh, and I recently shared this recipe with another pregnant mama friend of mine and she went crazy for it. She loved it so much that she went to the store and stocked up on the ingredients so she could make it over and over.
YUM! I’m going to say it again…. YUM!!! OH! And this will make a perfect Valentine’s Day shake.
