Good Morning All and Happy Humpday to you!!!

I stayed up late last night reading so many wonderful blog posts on so many wonderful blogs!  I didn’t realize how big this healthy eating community really is   I commented a lot on some blogs I just found, I was like a kid at Christmas unwrapping all the goodies in these blogs!  It was a lot of fun.

As I was blogging and reading my pumpkin tarts were “baking” in the freezer……LOL…i heart vegan Raw baking because is it super easy, nutritious and it tastes just as good as regular baking.  These tarts were just like eating mini pumpkin pies I had the perfect amount of sweetness and spice, a big pat on the back for me!  Experimenting in the kitchen is great fun for me and I usually produce some amazing eats.  Ryan would tell you my baking is better than my cooking, but sometimes I do surprise him with a tasty made up dinner

I also had to make Ryan another loaf of Almond Bread – 1 day and it had vanished…..it must have been tasty

This morning was another fierce Green Smoothie!  As you can see I use a beer mug to drink my smoothie…these are surprising only used for smoothies and never beer!  LOL.  Like the Pink Robe??  Ahhh La Senza I can’t live without your robes

Raw Vegan Pumpkin Tartlets   These do not look nearly as cute as the tarts found on fitnessista.com today, but they are super tasty!!  My sister Michelle made a similar pie to this, but she baked hers and used regular Pumpkin Pie filling.  On a side note if you want to read an Amazing Shoe Blogeveryone should checkout Michelle’s Blog - SoleInTheCity.ca - shout outs to the sista! 

Here is the recipe for Kris’ Vegan Tartlets:

Crust:

1 cup Almond Flour
1/2 cup Date Paste (*see my below explanation)

Filling:

1/2 can Organic Pumpkin
1/4 cup Agave Nectar
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tbs Pumpkin Pie Spice (I used a bit more because that’s how I roll…spicy!)

Directions:

-Place dates into a bowl and pour enough warm water to cover them.  Let them sit for a few minutes.
-Place the Almond Flour into your mixing Bowl.
-In a separate bowl mix the pumpkin, agave, vanilla, and spices together.
-Get your muffin tin out and place 6 muffin liners in.
-Pour half of the water out of the dates and add the dates with some of the soaking water to the Food Processor, blend until smooth.
-Mix the Almond Flour and the Date Paste together.  Place some crust mixture into the 6 muffin tins.  Mold into a tart   crust.  Place even amounts of the filling into each crust.
-Cover with tin foil and place in the freezer for 1 hour.
This recipe makes 6 tarts.

I hope you all enjoy this yummy healthy treat!
