Pesto
-2 cups basil, tightly packed
-1 tablespoon minced rosemary
-1/4c pine nuts
-1T olive oil
-1/4t salt
-2t lemon juice
• Pulse all ingredients in a food processor until broken down, but leaving some texture to the finished pesto.

Assembly
- Start with the flax cracker as a base to which you'll add a layer of the nut cheese spread.
-Next comes the tomato sauce and then top off with some pesto.
- Garnish with olives, capers and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.

Variation: This recipe works great using marinated whole mushrooms as a base instead of flax crackers.

• Marinate 12 mushrooms in 1/4c tamari and 1/4c olive oil for 2 hours or more.
• Fill the mushroom caps with the nut cheese, tomato sauce and pesto. Going heavier on the amount of pesto works really nicely with mushrooms.
• Once the mushrooms are stuffed, place in the dehydrator at 105 degrees F to warm through 1 - 2 hours.

How do you get enough calories on a raw food diet?

I am wanting to try the raw food diet, but I am unsure of how I would get enough daily calories. have you tried the raw food diet? How did you get your calories? How many calories should I shoot for?

Nuts, seeds, sometimes glutin if it is OK with your system, and
perhaps tofu and certainly brown rice can go along with the
raw food. Too much raw food is apparently weakening to
the valve from the small to large intestine. Due to our
stress, bad eating habits, too much acid in diet etc.,
too much raw can 'grate' on it. But by having say organic
brown rice and lots of raw veg's with some grated nuts,
or else another time grated coconut, will make it fine.
We do this partly. We certainly like it, feels clean.
