Creating Raw Food Pizza: A Joyful Family Affair

Introduction: In the heart of our kitchen, a delightful adventure unfolded as my children, Zen and Saje, and I embarked on creating a raw food pizza together. With laughter, love, and a dash of creativity, we crafted a delicious masterpiece that nourished not just our bodies but our souls as well.

Shared Moments: As Zen and Saje eagerly joined me in the kitchen, their little hands embracing the ingredients, the joy of exploration filled the air. Together, we transformed cauliflower into a delicate rice-like texture, mixed in wholesome seeds, and sprinkled aromatic herbs to create a flavorful crust.

A Colorful Collaboration: With the crust ready, the real fun began as Zen and Saje joyfully added vibrant bell peppers, crisp cucumber, and juicy tomatoes to our pizza canvas. Their eyes sparkled with delight as they arranged fresh basil leaves, turning our creation into a work of edible art.

Anticipation and Togetherness: As our pizza made its way into the dehydrator, we eagerly chatted, sharing stories and laughter, patiently awaiting the moment when we could indulge in our labor of love. Time seemed to pass with newfound ease as we connected and bonded over the shared anticipation.

The Sweet Taste of Success: Finally, the dehydrator signaled that our pizza was ready. With mouths watering, we gathered around the table, each taking a slice of our culinary creation. The flavors burst on our palates, a testament to the joy and effort we had poured into our endeavor.

Cherishing the Memory: As we relished each bite, we savored not just the deliciousness of the pizza, but the precious memories we had created together. It was a reminder of the beauty of family connection and the power of shared experiences in the kitchen.

Conclusion: Creating raw food pizza with Zen and Saje was a cherished family affair, filled with laughter, love, and the joy of culinary exploration. It was a moment of togetherness that nourished our bodies and spirits, leaving us with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for the simple joys of family bonding in the kitchen.

The Recipe

---

Ingredients:

• 1 large cauliflower head

• 1 cup ground flaxseeds

• 1 cup sunflower seeds

• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon dried basil

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• Pinch of salt

• Desired toppings (e.g., sliced vegetables, fresh herbs, vegan cheese)

Instructions:

1. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble rice-like grains.

2. Transfer the cauliflower rice to a clean kitchen towel or nut milk bag and squeeze out any excess moisture.

3. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, ground flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, nutritional yeast, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.

4. Place the mixture onto a non-stick dehydrator sheet or parchment paper and shape it into a round or rectangular pizza crust, about 1/4 inch thick.

5. Dehydrate the crust at 115°F (46°C) for 4-6 hours, or until it becomes firm and holds its shape.

6. Once the crust is ready, remove it from the dehydrator and carefully flip it over.

7. Add your desired toppings, such as sliced vegetables and fresh herbs, onto the crust.

8. Return the pizza to the dehydrator and continue dehydrating for another 2-4 hours, or until the toppings are slightly softened and the flavors meld together.

9. Remove the pizza from the dehydrator, slice, and serve immediately.

Note: If you don't have a dehydrator, you can also bake the crust in the oven at the lowest temperature setting with the door slightly ajar. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Cashew Vegan Cheese Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw cashews (soaked in water for at least 4 hours or overnight)

• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

• Water (as needed for desired consistency)

Instructions:

1. Drain and rinse the soaked cashews, then place them in a high-speed blender or food processor.

2. Add nutritional yeast, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, onion powder, and salt to the blender.

3. Start blending on low speed and gradually increase to high, scraping down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add water, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.

4. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, similar to the texture of traditional cheese.

5. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. You can add more lemon juice, salt, or nutritional yeast to suit your taste preference.

6. Transfer the cheese mixture to a clean container or mold of your choice, smoothing the top with a spatula.

7. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until the cheese has firmed up.

8. Once firm, the cashew vegan cheese is ready to be enjoyed. It can be sliced, grated, or spread onto crackers, bread, or any dish of your choice.

Note: The cheese will continue to firm up in the refrigerator, so if you prefer a firmer consistency, you can leave it overnight.

Get creative with additional flavors by adding herbs, spices, or even sun-dried tomatoes for a twist. Enjoy your homemade cashew vegan cheese as a delightful and nutritious dairy-free alternative!
