Homemade Kale Chips
Ingredients:
-
half or one bunch of fresh organic Kale (I prefer the non-curly one for these chips)
-
Olive or other vegetable Oil
-
Celtic Sea Salt or pink himalayan salt
(Please do not use ordinary table salt, it contains anti-caking agent).
Method:
Heat the oven to 180C – 200C
Cut kale into 1cm – 2cm wide strips. Wash, rinse and dry well. Toss with some oil and the salt.
Arrange on a baking tray, that is covered with baking paper.
Put in the oven for +/- 20 minutes. At the half way mark, you can turn them on the tray, bring the lower ones to the top.
The Kale chips should be crisp, but not burned.
Enjoy!!! E Guete 🙂

use of the mind
“A tree can be used either for building a house or for making charcoal by means of fire. So also the mind can either be utilized tor spiritual evolution or reduced into ignorance by the fire of five passions.”

Homemade Dark Chocolate
Many of you know, that in the last year I have been experimenting with different raw chocolate recipes, none were a failure (I often make them for Satsang), but it needed to be perfected and I did not really have a recipe to give away as I was just trying and mixing. So I think now I found a recipe I can share with you. Please keep in mind that when making your own raw chocolate from organic ingredients, you need to be creative.
Homemade Dark Chocolate:
Please use certified organic ingredients
70 gr raw cacao butter
1/2 cup raw cacao powder (sifted optional)
2 tbsp agave nectar or maple syrup or raw honey
1 pinch of celtic sea salt or pink himalayan salt
Moulds to pour the mix in, I use ice cube forms.
Melt cacao butter in a small, dry metal or glass bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. (On a hot Queensland’s Summer day I just put the bowl outside, covered and let it melt naturally). Once melted mix in all the other ingredients and mix very well until you have a nice, thick, consistent, liquid chocolate mix. Pour into the mould and freeze over night or for several hours.
Enjoy !!!!!!
Some extra tips:
If you prefer the taste of milk chocolate, decrease the amount of raw cacao powder used.
Feel free to be creative and add any nuts: walnuts, almond, macadamia, etc….. finely chopped, raisins, and/or vanilla essence or vanilla beans, there are many other possibilities.
Please share your suggestions and trials.
