I used to go to this place when I was 16, with my little boy friend, sitting on the crossbar of his bike.
I came back few days ago, many many years later, and it's still a magical place...
Hi everybody! I am back ;-)
I was thinking about how is simply amazing to have the possibility to share "the kitchen" with our own mother.
My mom is a gift.
We can have long discussions about everything, even with a quite "hot" voice tone... we can be absolutely in contrast regarding a lot of things, but it doesn't matter. We can also be very intense together; we know each other so well.
We learned to say "I am sorry" together, after having stumbled together...
And we will be there for one each other always, no matter what.
She is an example, in her fragility and in her strenght.
Rita, beautiful blue eyes, huge heart, thank you for your Love.
I love you too.
So, these super healthy tender cookies are a "family joint-venture". We made them together, for you! Ingredients:
7 dates
1 handfull of raisins
100 ml of rice milk
1 t.s of baking powder
1 pinch of salt
6 T.S. of buckwheat flour
5 T.S of almond flour
1 t.s of grated ginger
1 egg
1 handfull of nuts
1 T.S of peanut butter
1 T.S of sunflower oil
Preparation:
If you can, call your mom to be with you during the "making of" to enjoy cooking together!
If you can't, just think about her with all you heart, all your LOVE. Visualize her in the point between your eyebrows, the center of concentration, and send her thoughts of deep love and gratitude...
This is the secret ingredient of this recipe.
Now, mix in a blender the dates, the raisins and the rice milk. Put this sweet cream in a bowl and then add all other ingredients. Mix them always with deep kindness and love. Preheat the oven at 180° and then bake the cookies for 12 minutes. Please, check them from time to time. Do not burn them! (as I do sometimes...)
You can decorate the cookies, just before baking them, with some raisins and nuts.
As probably you noticed, they are very healthy bacause I didn't use any sugar, animal fats or dairy products.
Setting the table:
I really love lights and candles... in this case, I used some "little Angles" lights. I think that they are adorable in every moment of the year, not only during Christmas time. You can put them on the table, in the middle, or hanged somewhere in the kitchen. Just look Nigella Lawson's kitchen...
The music:
My father conquered my mom's heart, during the 70's, with this song. How cool!
He couldn't forget her blue eyes... eh eh eh....
The movie:
I know that this is one of my mother's favourite movie... Mamma MIA!!! I like this soundtrack too!
