I know I haven't blogged in like a year but this was too good not to share. It tastes heavenly and is soooooo good for you.
Crust:
In your food processor or vitamix blend together,
1 c. Raw Almonds or walnuts
1 c. Pitted dates
1/2 c. Unsweetened coconut
Until it looks like bread crumbs
Press the mixture into a pie pan. Layer half a package of sliced strawberries on top.
Cheesecake:
Then blend together,
2 c. Raw cashews
1 c. Dates
2 heaping T. Coconut oil
1 t. Vanilla
Adding water little bits at a time until it looks smooth and creamy. Pour over the top of the strawberries and spread evenly. Then blend the rest of the strawberries and spread that on top. Set in the fridge for a couple hours.

Homemade Graham Crackers
While Melaina was away today we decided to bake for her for a change. A lady brought these to our women's meeting last Friday and I was really impressed but decided to try them gluten/dairy free of course for Melaina who can no longer eat graham crackers.
Recipe:
1/2 c. cooking oil (I used coconut oil)
1/2 c. honey (I used raw, unfiltered)
2 t. vanilla
1/2 t. salt
3 1\2 c. pastry whole wheat flour (I used spelt flour which is technically a gluten but very easy to digest. It does not bother Melaina at all and can be substituted straight across for wheat flour. I'm pretty sure regular wheat flour would work just fine also.)
1 1\2 t. baking powder
2 t. cinnamon
1\2 c. milk (I used goat's milk and you actually couldn't taste it at all)
Mix liquids first except milk, then add dry ingredients alternately with milk. If dough is too sticky add more flour. It should be stiff enough to roll out on a floured surface without sticking. Roll out to 1/4" thick (The thinner they are the crunchier they get. My first batch was a little too think and tasted more like cookies then crackers but still very yummy). Cut in squares or with your favorite cutters. Prick with a fork to make holes and bake at 300 until edges are slightly brown (This was about 12 min. in my oven). Cool before removing from cookie tray.
