Crispy Juicer Pulp Coconut Crackers (photo by recipe author)

Put your leftover juicing pulp to use! Mine usually has beet, carrot, zucchini, cucumber, some ginger and maybe apple.

Servings: yields 4 dozen
Preparation Time: 20 minutes

1. Process ingredients in food processor. You will need to do this in batches, add enough water to make to make a workable dough that holds it’s shape but gets nicely chopped up. Bigger pieces of cucumber skin may need to be picked out.

2. Adjust herbs and spices to taste, remember these shrink so the flavor will be concentrated.

3. Using fruit leather sheets or parchment paper, use your hands to spread it out to 1/4″ or less thickness. Score into crackers.

4. Dehydrate at 135 ºF in the dehydrator. Turn crackers over when firm and dry on top. They are done when dry right through and crisp.

5. Break apart and store in an airtight container.

These are great as is, with butter, cheese, nut butter or whatever!

Chewy Coconut Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Recipe photo

Servings: 24
Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Preheat oven to 325 degrees ºF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Cream the coconut oil and sugar in a large bowl, add the eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix the oats, almond flour, baking soda and salt. Stir the wet and dry together, then add the raisins, coconut, and pecans.

Roll into golf-ball sized cookies, and flatten slightly with your palm. The cookies shouldn’t spread too much, so you can place them about an inch apart.

Bake for 8-12 minutes, until the cookies are golden and fragrant.

Best when served chilled.

*You can grind your own almond flour by placing whole almonds in a blender/food processor and blending until you get a fine meal.
