Thanks to Faith for attending Self-Reliant Sisters and sending me these Raw Food recipes for the dehydrator! Click on the links below to download the PDF files for the recipes mentioned below.

"You've probably heard of the raw food movement. There is a subsection of vegetarians that eat strictly raw food. Raw is classified as a food whose enzymes have not been inactivated by heat application (>105). The dehydrator can process foods to meet this criteria."

I've attached recipes for the "Come Bite the Apple" cookie, "Apple Flax Cookie", and for "Onion Bread". I added walnuts, dried cranberries, and the little plug remnants from pitting cherries to the recipe. The "Nama Shoyu" ingredient in the onion bread recipe is actually organic soy sauce. The onion bread is awesome with soup and as a snack bread.

Making fresh "Zucchini Wraps" is great alternative to bread consumption. You can make them in advance and store them for up to a month in the frig. Search You Tube to see how to make them. They are so aromatic when processing that it can be a challenge to wait until they're done (even a bigger challenge for the cookies!)."

(Dehydrator) Zucchini Flax Wraps

INGREDIENTS
- 4 small zucchini (or 2 large zucchini)
- 1 1/2 cups of golden flax seeds
- 2 cups of water
- 1 Tbsp of dried basil
- 1 Tbsp of dried oregano
- 1 clove of garlic

METHOD
Combine all ingredients in a blender and mix on high until smooth

Spread over 4 teflex dehydrator sheets or dehydrator trays lined with baking paper

Put in the dehydrator for 4-6 hours at 110 degrees
(otherwise place in oven at the lowest setting leaving the oven door slightly ajar)

Once the wraps are thoroughly dried out they are ready to peel off and roll into wraps (If you overdehydrate them they will not be flexible enough to make wraps and turn into crackers)

You can fill the wraps with greens, zucchini humous, guacamole, garlic rice or marinated vegetables

Note
Ensure that the mixture is spread on the teflex sheets evenly to ensure the wraps dehydrate evenly.
