Lov'n It Live

Lov'n It Live was the restaurant we went to tonight for my birthday, located in East Point, Georgia. This avocado dish was absolutely delicious, served with spicy flax crackers. We also had a kale/avocado salad that was amazing. Oh, and the Irish moss drink was super delicious. The atmosphere is great, soothing music, art work is lovely. We got a bit lost going there.....it was worth it.

Sesame Milk

Loving this creamy sesame milk. This is how I make it.

1 cup unhulled sesame seeds, soaked over night, then drain.
Blend:
seeds
handful of cashews
agave or date
pinch of salt
couple of dashes of cinnamon
2-3 cups of water

strain in nut bag

I love drinking it right after blending.
It's super high in calcium.
keep refrigerated.

Here is some nutritional information:

Natural sesame seeds (unhulled) contain 5 grams of protein per ounce, 3.1 grams fiber, and 14 grams of total fat.

Natural sesame seeds, those that are unhulled, are high in calcium. One tablespoon provides 87.8 mg while the hulled variety offers only 10.5 mg for that same tablespoon. Comparing sesame seeds to milk turned up some surprising figures in the calcium count. One cup of natural sesame seeds had 1404.0 mg of calcium, while one cup of non-fat milk provided 316.3 mg. and one cup of whole milk contained 291 mg of calcium.

Both natural and hulled sesame seeds contain healthy amounts of the B vitamins riboflavin, thiamine, and niacin. With natural seeds scoring 8.7 mcg of folic acid for 1 tablespoon and plenty of vitamin B6, you can count on sesame seeds for excellent nourishment.

Caroline's at Eden's Market

It was nice coming back home from beautiful Budapest. An order I had placed on line at Eden's Market was waiting for me. Jet lagged, a bit tired, Caroline's Raw & Handmade Sweet Granola Chunks were a real treat. I like how they are in chunk pieces and you can break them apart easily too.

Caroline and I met at Alissa Cohen's, Living on Live Food Certification Program. She has beautiful energy and it travels through her yummy food creations.
