Illustrations for Demetre's Winter Sweet Menu

AoiroStudioMay 04, 2020

It’s a bit of an old project by Sean Lewis but I thought it was perfectly suited for ABDZ. During these pandemic times, we had to find ways to be more creative with our daily lives. I think we all did somehow. For my case, now I am currently living in Switzerland, I still remember the simple walks that I would take with the family especially early in the morning. And I remember having conversations with my oldest kid who never saw huge mountains covered in snow, and he kept saying that it looked like ice cream (being a huge fan of ice cream). That’s why I thought about sharing Sean’s work, the little but simple memories that goes through your mind. Life is simple and filled with opportunities to be remembered. Thank you Sean.

Electronic device and method for providing menu using the same

An electronic device and a method for providing a menu are disclosed. The electronic device displays a plurality of words on the screen, detects a first action specifying selection of at least one of the displayed words, searches an option item related to the word selected by the first action, generates at least one menu item based on the selected word and the searched option item, and displays the generated menu item in a first area of the screen.

Real-time menu architecture

A system and method for implementing a dynamic menu characterized by a real-time menu architecture. An example method includes determining a menu structure, with reference to a data set, for use with user interface software. A menu is then displayed, wherein the menu includes menu items arranged according to the menu structure. An initial drop-down menu list of the menu includes one or more of the menu items. Each menu item is associated with a data object of the data set. A signal is generated when a change is made to a data set corresponding to a menu item. The menu is then updated based on the signal. In an illustrative embodiment, the example method further includes employing a browser to trigger implementation of the method. The browser communicates with a web server, which communicates with an application that is adapted to analyze the data set and associated data structure and provide an update in response thereto via, the signal, to the web server. The web server includes software for enabling the browser to render an updated menu or graphical representation thereof.

This will cost about $.30 per serving.

Any Time Snack
Kitchen Sink Smoothie
serves 2 ~ $1.70 per serving

ingredients
  •  2 big handfuls greens (kale, romaine, etc) ($.75)

  • 1 cup blueberries ($1.00)
  • 2 tablespoon ground flax seeds ($.20)
  • 4 tablespoons hemp protein powder ($.90)
  • about 2 cups water for blending

I love making big, sweet, hearty green smoothies in the morning, and this is what I had this morning. I'm pretty sure I put just about everything I had in it, hence the name "(everything but the) Kitchen Sink Smoothie!"

My blender is small and weak, poor thing (but has lasted forever), so I blend my greens first. If you don't have a VitaMix or other high powered blender, this might work better for you, too. They get pretty smooth if I process them for a minute or two.

I also used Manitoba Harvest Hemp Pro 50, 50% Protein Powder, 32-Ounce which is my favorite hemp powder. Manitoba Harvest leaves all the good omega-3s intact.

Just blend everything well until smooth and serve.

Dinner
Black Bean Soup with Sweet Potatoes

serves 4-5 ~ about $2.50 per serving
 
 



Egads! This is not raw! But it's great tasting and healthy, too. This soup, from Dreena Burton's Plant Powered 15 book, has an irresistible quality, the flavors are deep and earthy with some sweetness from the potatoes. Don’t let the number of ingredients intimidate you - they build layers of flavor, but this soup is not at all difficult to make!


ingredients
  • 1-2 tbsp water
  • 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cups chopped onions (one large onion)
  • 1 1/2 cups combination of chopped red peppers and green peppers
  • 1 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste (generous is good)
  • 2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 tsp dried oregano leaves
  • 1/4 tsp allspice (rounded)
  • 1/4 tsp (or less/more, to taste) red pepper flakes
  • 4 medium-large cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 4 1/2 - 5 cups black beans (reserve 1 cup; this is three 14 or 15 oz cans)
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 1/2 cups cubed (in small chunks, about 1/2”) yellow sweet potato (or can substitute      white potato)
  • Chopped cilantro for serving
  • Extra lime wedges for serving
  • Chopped avocado tossed with lemon juice and dash of salt, for serving

directions
  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, add water, onions, red and green peppers, salt and pepper, cumin seeds, oregano, allspice, and red pepper flakes. Let cook for 5-7 minutes until onions and peppers start to soften. Add garlic. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and let cook another few minutes to soften garlic - if sticking/burning, add another splash of water. 
  2. After a few minutes of cooking, add 3 1/2 cups beans (reserving one cup of beans), water, tomato paste, vinegar, lime juice, and maple syrup (start with 1/2 teaspoon). Using an immersion blender, puree soup until fairly smooth. 
  3. Increase heat to bring to boil, add bay leaf and diced sweet potatoes, then once at boil reduce and let simmer for 20-30 minutes. Add remaining cup of black beans and extra maple syrup if desired (taste test). 
  4. Stir through, let simmer for another few minutes, then serve, topping with cilantro if desired and with lime wedges. Also delicious to top soup with some chopped seasoned avocado or a simple guacamole.  Serves 4-5 as main course.

Dessert
Pecan Pie
serves 2 ~ $1.45 per serving
 
 
 
 

  • 1/4 cup walnuts ($.50)
  • 1/2 cup raisins ($.50)
  • 6 dates, soaked ($1.20)
  • 1/4 cup pecans ($.70)
  • pinch salt
In a food processor with an "S" blade, process the walnuts and raisins until they are crumbly and stick together. Press into a small tart plate (the one I used is 5 inches diameter) and chill. Then in the food processor again, puree the dates with a tiny bit of the soak water until they form a gooey paste. Spread into the crust and top with pecans.

The amounts can be easily increased to make a larger pie for a more conventional sized dessert.

For the dinner soup that uses sweet potatoes, you can substitute any of the orange fleshed squash if you like. Like these I found at my favorite local farm market ... 
 
That Pink Banana Squash is amazing. They're about two and a half feet long and weigh around 20 lbs. A steal at $3 each.




Hope you're having a great fall!

  • 1 bunch green onions, sliced ($.59)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced ($.50)
  • large handful mung bean sprouts ($.75)
sauce

directions
  1. Noodle the zucchini and carrot using a vegetable peeler or spiral slicer.

  4. Pour over noodles, toss lightly, serve.

  1. Rinse one cup buckwheat groats and then soak in about two cups water for 5-6 hours or overnight. Rinse the buckwheat groats well. There will be a gooey or gelatinous coating on the groats and and they will need to be rinsed several times. 
  2. Once rinsed, drain well and pat with a towel to remove most of the water.In a food processor with the S blade, add the banana, cocoa or cacao powder, vanilla and salt. 
  3. Process for a minute or two until very creamy. 
  4. Fold into the buckwheat groats. 
  5. Then spread the mixture in clusters about 1/4 inch thick on the teflex or plastic sheets in a dehydrator. Dehydrate for about 4 hours, then turn over and dehydrate for another 2-3 hours, until the clusters are dry but pliable. 
  6. They don't seem to get brittle dry, but stay a little bit pliable. 
  7. Break up into smaller clumps. These can then be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. Serve with 1/2 cup almond milk.

Lunch
Coconut Cashew Soup
Serves 2 ~ $4.04 per serving






Oh. Yeah. Coconut butter is divine. Artisana makes organic, raw and vegan nut butters and coconut products. They provided some of their coconut butter and nuts butters for me to try, which are great straight from the jar and worked out really well in this easy and convenient soup.  


ingredients 
  • 4 tablespoons artisana coconut butter ($2.20)
  • 4 tablespoons artisana cashew butter ($2.35) 
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 3 dates ($.60)

  • 1 medium onion, minced
  • 2 stalks celery, minced ($.20)
  • small bunch cilantro leaves ($.05)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved ($.30)
  • red pepper flakes


directions
  1. In a blender, process the coconut butter, cashew butter (almond butter will work as well), water, dates, cilantro, garlic, red pepper flakes, cayenne, lime juice, salt and pepper. 
  2. Puree until as smooth as possible.
  3. Cut the cucumber into noodles and put in bowls with the avocado, celery, cilantro, and cherry tomatoes. 
  4. Using a wire mesh strainer, strain the coconut and nut butter soup base. This will take out any larger pieces of dates or spices. A higher powered blender may make this step unnecessary.

    Breakfast
    Strawberry Flax Smoothie
    serves 2 ~ $1.28 per serving
     
     
     
    Just two tablespoons of flax seeds, weighing in at 95 calories, contains over 140% of the daily value of omega 3 fatty acids. These fatty acids can protect against diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, and also decrease inflammation. Because the nutrients in flax seeds are better absorbed when ground ~ and a lot more palatable! ~ I've used the ground seeds in this recipe.
    ingredients
    • 2 bananas, frozen and sliced ($.50)
    • 1 cup frozen strawberries ($1.00)
    • 4 tablespoons flax seeds, ground ($.40)
    • 1 cup almond milk ($.45) 
    • a few almonds, chopped
    directions

    Lunch
    Squash and Cauliflower Soup
    serves 2 ~ $1.75 per serving
    This is a light but also filling lunch or snack and cauliflower is in season right now. It's pretty low in calories and not very expensive. I've been known to eat the whole batch, is what I'm saying! I like to add some cayenne and crushed red pepper flakes, but, as is true of most things in life, heat is optional ... add as much or little as you like. 
    ingredients
    • 1 1/2 cup peeled and chopped zucchini and/or summer squash ($1.20)
    • 1 1/2 cup chopped cauliflower ($1.00)
    • 1 cup peeled and chopped apple ($1.00)
    • 1/4 cup olive oil, or any one of your favorite oils ($.20)
    • 1 tablespoon chopped onion ($.10)
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder

    Dinner
    Spring Noodles
    serves 2 ~ $1.98 per serving


    • 2 medium zucchini, noodled ($2.30)
    • 1 medium onion, chopped ($.05)
    • 1/2 lb baby snap peas ($.80)
    • 1 carrot, grated ($.10)
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil ($.20)
    • 2 tablespoons agave ($.20)
    • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar ($.20)
    • 2 cloves garlic, pressed ($.10)
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
    • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    noodled verb: to improvise, experiment, or think creatively; to make or devise freely as an exercise or experiment
     
    I used to think breaded and fried was the only way to eat zucchini. Now, I'm totally into raw zucchini noodles. They're so easy to make and have a wonderful but mild flavor of their own, so they work well with just about everything. 
    Make noodles out the zucchini with a spiralizer, grater, or with a vegetable peeler. Toss the noodles together with the whole snap peas, chopped onion, and grated carrot. In a small cup, whisk together the oil, agave, vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss with the noodles until coated. 
    These can be served as is, or marinated for an hour or so, or gently dehydrated for a bit.

     Dessert
    Lemon Poppy Seed Ice Cream with Strawberry Sauce
    serves 2 ~ $1.10 per serving




    ingredients
    • 4 bananas, sliced and frozen ($.60)
    • juice and zest of one lemon ($.69)
    • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds ($.30)
    • 1 cup strawberries ($.45)
    • 1 tablespoon agave ($.10)
    • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts ($.15)
    • pinch salt

    Banana ice cream is wonderful.  And it's amazingly simple to make with just a food processor.

    The strawberry sauce should be made first and set aside. In a bullet type blender, puree the strawberries and agave until very smooth.

    In a food processor fitted with an "S" blade, process the frozen bananas and lemon juice and zest until creamy like soft serve ice cream. It can take a bit of prodding and scraping to get the bananas going in the food processor, but it's worth it. Once creamy, add the poppy seeds and give a whir or two to incorporate.

    Serve with the strawberry sauce and walnuts.

    Raw Food Recipe Menu: July 4, 2016





     
    Happy, happy 4th!! I hope you're enjoying your holiday with lots of good food, friends, family, and good times. The 4th, to most people, represents "freedom" and "independence." What would you like to be free or independent of this summer or this year? Now? 

      
    Breakfast 
    Strawberry Blue Concrete
    serves 2 ~ $1.45 per serving



    • 3 bananas, sliced and frozen ($.60)
    • 1 1/2 cups strawberries, frozen ($1.69)
    • 1/2 cup blueberries, frozen ($.60)
    • stevia and/or agave, to taste

    A "concrete" is a very thick shake ... thick enough to have to eat it with a spoon. And this is a fun and tasty breakfast or treat for anyone.

    In a food processor fitted with an "S" blade, process the frozen bananas until creamy. Add water as needed until the mixture is a thick, soft serve ice cream consistency. Add about half the frozen strawberries and process again until smooth. Add a couple droppers of stevia and/or agave, until you like the level of sweetness. You may not need any sweetener at all if you use very ripe bananas.

    Spoon out and set aside about half the mixture. Then, add more frozen strawberries to what remains, and process again until smooth. Spoon out and set aside about half of this mixture, as well. Finally, add the frozen blueberries to what is left and process again until smooth.

    Layer the different mixtures in a glass. And don't forget a spoon!

    Lunch
    Strawberry Cauliflower Salad
    serves 2 ~ $2.75 per serving



    This salad is a bit on the sweet side and I've even had it for breakfast. The nutrition in here is just off the charts, especially with the cauliflower rounding it out. Lots of vitamin C, vitamin K, etc. A few chopped almonds on top would be nice, too. That's usually how I eat this, but must have forgotten them for the photos!

    ingredients, salad
    • 6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped ($1.20)
    • 2 cups sliced strawberries ($2.00)
    • 1 1/2 cups chopped cauliflower ($1.00)
    • 1 small white onion ($.10)

    ingredients, dressing
    • 1 cup strawberries ($1.00)
    • 1 tablespoon chopped onion
    • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
    • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar ($.20)
    • 1 teaspoon dried basil or 1 tablespoon fresh
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 tablespoon fresh
    • 3 tablespoons agave
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 droppers stevia
    • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
    • 1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste

    directions
    • Arrange the salad ingredients on a plate.
    • In a blender, puree the dressing ingredients until very smooth.
    • Add cracked black pepper and salt to taste.

    Dinner
    Blueberry Salad
    serves 2 ~ $2.00 per serving



    ingredients
    • 1 cup blueberries, dried ($1.00)
    • 1 head romaine ($1.29)
    • handful kale ($.50)
    • 1 medium onion, divided
    • 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh ($.50) 
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil ($.20)
    • 2 tablespoons coconut nectar or other liquid sweetener ($.40)
    • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar ($.10)
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Blueberries dry to a wonderful raisin like texture, becoming sweeter and even more flavorful. Care must be taken to not over dry them as they get too hard. Just put a cup of blueberries in the dehydrator for several hours until dry but still chewy.

    The salad is just a simple one of romaine, a bit of kale, chopped onions, and dried blueberries. Reserve a tablespoon of chopped onion to go into the dressing.

    The dressing is made with the onion, a half cup of fresh blueberries, the olive oil, coconut nectar, and vinegar. Puree all ingredients in a blender until smooth. This works best with a bullet type blender. Most blenders have a blade assembly that's compatible with canning jars. Just unscrew the blade assembly from the carafe and attach to a small mouth canning jar. The pint jars are perfect for small jobs like this.

     Also, a larger batch of dressing can be made, just double or triple the recipe. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

    Dessert
    Blueberry Fool
    serves 4 ~ $.62 per serving

    ingredients
    • 1 cup nuts (cashews) ($1.00)
    • 2 ripe bananas ($.30)
    • juice of 1 lemon ($.69)
    • pinch of salt
    • 1/2 cup water for blending, as needed
    • 4 ounces blueberries, frozen and thawed ($.50)

    • whole blueberries
    • walnuts
    • agave

    I was looking for ways to cut some of the fat in regular nut yogurt and decided to use ripe bananas and nuts in about equal amounts. This worked out wonderfully and as a bonus, eliminated the need for more sweetener.

    A "fool" is basically a yogurt dish layered parfait style. Greek yogurt, which is very thick, is traditionally used. This yogurt isn't that thick as I've made it here, but could easily be thickened by draining some of the liquid through cheesecloth. 

    In a blender, puree the bananas until very smooth. Add the nuts (I used cashews) and lemon juice and about a half cup water for blending. Puree on high for several minutes, until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate for at least a few hours. It will thicken quite a bit as it chills.

    To make the "fool," take half the yogurt and puree with a handful of blueberries. In each serving bowl, put a spoon of regular yogurt and another of blueberry yogurt, add a few whole blueberries to the top. Garnish with a couple chopped walnuts and a drizzle of agave, if desired.
