I'm so grateful to finally be able to present Elemental Maui Treats biscotti and raw brownies! Yay! This is not something I'd ever thought of doing but since moving to Maui, the process of cooking with the amazing selection of produce and ingredients found here has been such a sweet experience for me. It has a lot to do with the way I eat - fresh, whole foods with the highest possible life force, no grains, legumes, sugar, or old stuff. It's a way of eating that is so energizing because the food is clean-burning but it's also a big shift away from the way our culture eats. I can no longer go to the store and grab a bag of Uncle Eddie's vegan chocolate chip cookies, or a gourmet sandwich, or a gelato. In eating this way, I've truly been able to discover for myself how food makes me feel and the truth is, although there is a lot of emotional attachment to certain foods, if they make me feel bad it's much more worth it to look hard at the addiction and break it than it is to give in and feel dull. And I, apparently, have a thing for baked sweets! These cookies and brownies are as Elemental as possible while still retaining the scrumptiousness of a rich dessert. They are organic, grain-free, refined sugar-free, and full of the blessings of Mother Earth's nourishment. I am thrilled to be able to share them as an alternative to what is commonly available.
The first beta testing batches of biscotti are out and ready for action!
The varieties that are available right now are:
anise, salty maple mac nut,
cocoa hazelnut, bittersweet chocolate chunk,
biodynamic raisin, and lemon lime zest.
And...
double fudge and mint chocolate.
I will be linking each of these treat posts to my tumblr, which explains Elemental Eating and is where I share with you my daily cooking exploits, as well as to Matthew Reifslager and The Wholeness, the source of this wonderful and amazing Knowledge of elemental physiology.
Below is a great video from the Whole Life Sanctuary in Taos, NM last July, where Matthew begins to explain why Elemental Eating is so important for health right now.

I will be at a few Wholeness events this week where I'll be sharing samples! Please email me with any questions or to request an order. Ingredients provided on request.
