There is a freezer in the freezer section -imagine that – full of the frozen items!
Green Bean Casserole
I LOVE certain holiday dishes such as the green bean casserole. This love of cooked holiday foods has led this raw food woman to create some tasty loving dishes! Here is one we love! You can serve this raw or warm it up. Use fresh green beans if available, otherwise frozen (thawed) work fine. Rinse and snap green beans and place in bowl. Make Raw Mushroom soup by blending the following: 1.5 cups of mushrooms, just shy of ¼ cup almond butter, just shy of ½ cup water, 1 TB Coconut Aminos and a pinch of salt. Blend and add to green beans. Add raw cashew “cheese” (blend 1/3 cup water with1 tsp seas salt, 5 TB nutritional yeast and ½ cup cashews – preferably soaked but if you don’t have time to soak that is fine…). If you wish to add some onion flavor, I sauté’ onions in olive or tea oil and top the casserole. You can also use dehydrated onions that are just mildly reconstituted. ENJOY! TIP: If you need a quick easy meal or side and don’t mind it not being raw try this: Two bags of frozen organic green beans, organic condensed cream of mushroom soup and make the raw cheese sauce. Warm and enjoy! I have never met anyone who didn’t love this recipe. We have all the ingredients at Nature’s Garden.
Amish Meal
The Amish meal, as our family calls it, is a recipe I adapted more than 17 years ago. We enjoy this a few time a year. It is NOT raw in anyway, and we even use a pound of grass fed organic beef! You don’t need to add the meat, but we add the meat once in a while. This is simply a family favorite, and rose had me make it for her birthday party and every one of the 9 years old boys and girls LOVED it! There are three layers you layer a few times in a LARGE oven proof glass casserole dish. This makes a large casserole, cut in half if you’d like. 1st layer is Noodles. We made this last night with the quinoa noodles and it was incredible. Rice noodles are our second favorite. 2nd Layer is the following sauce: sauté 3 onions, 4-5 cups mushrooms, three to 6 toes of garlic, and blend the ingredients after sautéed. This makes a great creamy sauce and the kids have no idea what they are eating! (Ok, our kids don’t care but yours may!) To the blended sauce add a few cans of tomatoe sauce, a few tablespoons of Nature’s Garden Italian seasoning or Nature’s Garden Pizzazz seasoning, and 1-2 tablespoons of a raw cane sugar or honey. This sauce is where you would add the cooked ground beef if desired. Warm the sauce and layer as indicated (if you don’t eat it all first). 3rd layer is shredded raw cheese or cheese substitute such as shredded Daya cheese. Bake at 350 and amaze your family!

Yummy Soup Class 7 pm Thursday January 6th
Soup Soup Soup! Just the word brings warmth to the soul and the tummy! We LOVE making soups, both living soups and slow cooked soups. Come Thursday to learn the tricks of the trade in the soup world. Well…..at least the tricks we have learned the past 30 years! Now, I really enjoy soup, so I have no idea how many soups we will make ahead of time and how many we will make that night. I assure you we will make living (raw) soups, from-scratch bean soups, creamy soups, light grain soup and probably our famous cornbread because I LOVE CORN BREAD! Ok, I get a bit excited……
Change in Class Dues – Donations or FREE!
For the month of January, all classes will have no fees attached! We don’t want people to avoid learning do to their economical circumstances so we thought we would try a donation based class schedule. If this works, we will keep our classes rolling on a donation base or free!
We will not be collecting money downstairs in the café for classes. Instead, when you come to class, donations can be made at the check out counter in the store. We are hopeful even more people will take advantage and come to classes. There is so much to teach and so much to learn! We want you here so you can better your health and the health of your friends and family!
We will not be videotaping any of the classes for the next few months. We find that the atmosphere is a bit more relaxing and we can play more as a group when the camera is not rolling. Plus, I sure don’t need to be as politically correct! THAT DRIVES ME NUTS! If I want to tell you what a certain company is doing to their foods, I will! Whew, that came out quite strong! Classes are a BLAST so come play with us this Thursday!
Baking PERFECT Bread! NEXT Thursday 7 PM
As we are STILL on the topic of classes…next week will be a blast! I taught this class at a local church to a group of a dozen or so ladies last year. What a time we had! Come bring your bread pan and learn how to bake bread. You will take your FRESH loaf home with you! Trust me, the spouses and kids will send you out the door WITH a donation for you to bring a fresh loaf of bread home! We will be making all organic wheat bread from my favorite wheat – winter white wheat. Gluten free breads will not be covered at this class. Please bring a 2 cup measuring cup, a medium to large mixing bowl, measuring spoons, one mixing spoon and a bread pan. See you next Thursday, January 13th! We WILL start promptly at 7 pm. Lot’s of loaves to bake! If you can, please RSVP for this class.
