 Too much onion? Said no one EVER! Recipe:
Serving size: 6-8 Ingredients: 14 oz. of extra firm tofu 1/2- 1 cup h2o 2 medium yellow onions 1 shallot 1-2 cups cashews 1/2 fresh squeezed lime or lemon juice 4 cloves of garlic 2 tbsp coconut or olive oil 2 tsp garlic powder 2 tsp minced onion 2 tsp turmeric 1 tsp red chili pepper flake 1 tsp Himalayan salt 1 tsp fresh ground tricolor peppercorn dash of cayenne Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, boil 4 cups of water. 2. Next, slice the onions and shallot throwing both on a pan over the stove top. Caramelize the onions and shallot by using 2 tbsp on coconut or olive oil at medium-high temperature. At this time you can also add all the spices. This should talk 10-15 minutes, you will know they are ready by the aroma and transparency of their appearance. You can continue for 5 more minutes if you would like them a bit less crunchy. 3. While the onions are caramelizing use the boiled water to boil the cashews in a bowl. Drain the cashews after the water reaches drinkable temperature, and add fresh new boiled water. Once they appear soft and prune-y add them into a blender adding only half the amount of water in the bowl. Set the remaining water aside for now. 3. Add the fresh squeezed lime juice into the blender, add the tofu, and now caramelized onions. Blend until the creamy texture of the spread/dip is achieved. If you'd like the mixture thinner add the remaining cashew water little by little until achieved. You may adjust flavors as necessary. Enjoy! Tips:

Serving size may vary: about 12 bars Ingredients: 1 cup of medjool dates 1 cup of dried or fresh brown turkish figs 1 1/2 cup gluten free oats 1/4 almonds, crushed 1/2 cup go take a hike trail mix (golden raisins, cashews, goji berries, mulberries & pistachios) 2 tbsp chia seeds 2 tbsp flax seeds 2 tbsp hemp seeds 3 tbsp cocao nibs 1/4 cup peanut butter 1/4 cup almond butter 1/2 tbsp coconut oil 1 tsp cinnamon *optional 2 tbsp maple syrup Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F to toast dry ingredients. Sprinkle cinnamon over dry ingredients prior to toasting. Once the oven reaches 350 degree F turn it off, and put dry ingredients in the oven toast. 2. In the meantime, use a blender or food processor to blend the dates, figs, and coconut oil until the sticky dough texture is acheived. This makes the glue of your bars. 3. Next, combine the nut butters and maple syrup in a pot of the stove top for just a few minutes until the mixture is combined evenly. 4. Then, combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl using a spatula or if easier hands until all the indgredients stick together. If there is too much dry ingredient not mixing in take it out as necessary. If not, the bars will come out flakey and brittle. 5. Lastly, transfer the dough into a pyrex container lined with parchment paper or lightly coated with oil, while pressing down evenly. After 15-20 minutes of storage cut the bars. Store the granola bars in the fridge or freezer, and enjoy! Tips:
