dolmas all in a row
Dolmas are traditionally a Greek appetizer of grape leaves stuffed with rice, meat and herbs. I love Greek and Mediterranean foods and these two raw dolmas recipes are full of aliveness in their flavors.
Traditional Raw Dolmas
This filing tastes a lot like traditional dolmas – a little bit meat like and savory.
1/2 Cup Sun Dried Tomatoes
1/2 Cup Walnuts (soaked and rinsed)
1/2 tsp SunFire Salt
1.5 Tbsp Dill
1/4 Cup Raisins
2 Tbsp Hemp Seeds
cosmic chocolate balls
OMG these are good! Courtney has been making raw superfood chocolate treats for herself and her family, including her magical toddler son for several years and she’s definitely perfected the flavors, nutrition and art of making cosmic chocolate balls.
Courtney offered a class on how to make her kind of raw superfood sweet treats so I’ve learned first hand how to finesse her recipes and adapt her art into my own creative art. Stay tuned, the video and handout from her class will be available soon. 
For now, here’s the basic recipe for making Cosmic Chocolate Balls – they will definitely open you up to your most cosmic self!
1/2 Cup Hemp Seeds
1/2 Cup Cacao Powder
1/2 Cup Lucuma
1/4 Cup Tocotrienols
1/4 Cup Cacao Nibs (optional – I leave these out because I don’t prefer the crunch)
1/4 Cup Carob Powder
1-2 tsp Blue Green Algae (use 1 tsp if you’re new to BG Algae)
1 Tbsp Ground Vanilla
2 tsp Vitamin C Powder
1-3 tsp Medicinal Mushroom Powder (chaga, reishi, cordyceps) or alternatively substitute with Mesquite Powder
1/8 tsp SunFire Salt
1 Tbsp Mucuna Pruriens Powder
2 tsp Ho Shou Wu powder (optional – I didn’t have this so I left it out)
1/3 Cup Honey or Vanilla Agave Nectar or blend of both
1/3 Cup Coconut Oil (you might use up to 1/2 Cup)
glass milk bottle containers
I just got these new glass milk bottles in the half gallon and pint size and I LOVE them! They are great for containing my chocolate bliss, hemp milk, and goji lemonade … and any other liquids you like to keep in your fridge.
They come with a snap top lid that’s held up really well – for a good month of use already. I bought extra lids just in case, but haven’t needed to change them out yet. Do make sure the lid is on well before you shake the bottle (speaking from experience).
I use 2 of the half gallon size milk bottles for my gallon of bliss. I just fill both containers up with about half of the bliss mixture from my blender (eye-balling it) and then top them off with water. The half gallon size is great because it has an easy grip on the side of the bottle and fits really easily in the fridge. The bottles are also super easy to clean with a quick rinse or popping them in the dish washer.
Here’s where I found them and have ordered from:

It’s been a worthy upgrade. Enjoy!
