Sam's Awesome Raw Brownie

Hi everyone! Today I came up with this awesome, not to mention easy and delicious, recipe for raw vegan brownies!


1 cup raw walnuts
5 pitted dates
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup cacao powder
1/4 tsp of salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 cup rolled oats


Use a food processor to grind the walnuts to a powder. Then add the pitted dates one by one and then add the raisins. Process until the fruit is fully incorporated. Then add the cacao, salt, vanilla extract, and oats. Process until a dough is formed and then spread it out in a container. Top with gogi berries and cacao nibs. Refrigerate until dough hardens. Then enjoy!!!


Eat it up and share it with your friends!

Na's House Salad Dressing

I am not a big fan of eating store bought salad dressing. I have not found a salad dressing without some type of additives or preservatives. I used to not enjoy making homemade salad dressings because I rather wanted to use store bought for convenience. However, these days I take 5 to10 minutes to make a simple, but delicious dressing for everyone in my family.

I recommend everyone to buy high quality extra virgin olive oil that is contained in a glass bottle.

Na's House Salad Dressing
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Bragg's apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup purified water
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 Tbs. oregano, dried
1 Tbs. basil, dried
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. black pepper
2 to 3 Tbs. lemon juice, fresh

Stir well.
