Raw Corn Tortilla Chips

You absolutely won't believe how good it tastes to eat raw corn! Mix it with a little flax seed meal, some spices, dehydrate it, and you've got super-healthy tortilla chips you can eat alone or dipped in salsa or guacamole! Enjoy!

Ingredients
4 cups frozen, uncooked corn
1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp lime juice
2.5 Tbsp olive oil
3/4 cup chopped red onion
2 tsp salt
1 3/4 cup ground flax seed
2 tsp chili powder
1 Tbsp cumin
1 clove garlic
Pinch cayenne pepper

Directions

Step 1. Combine all ingredients, except for 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, in a food processor and process until smooth.

Step 2. Divide recipe into four, then spread on four teflex dehydrator sheets, about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 3. Dehydrate for 30 minutes to an hour, then score to desired shape with a knife and sprinkle with remaining salt.

Step 4. Dehydrate for 12 to 24 more hours, then turn dehydrator trays upside-down, peel off teflex from the hardened batter, then dehydrate the chips on screen trays for 12 more hours, or until crispy.

Step 5. Remove from trays and break at score marks.

Why does my laundry room smell like sushi?

Oh yeah, I remember now. Because when I opened the fridge this afternoon to check on the raw vegan chocolate tart which took two hours to make, (which tart I made for the raw foods class I am giving tomorrow, for lots of classy ladies to sample,) I was horrified to find that the sweet, darling, dearest, smushy-pie, snuggle-bunny, baby-face little 4-year-old boy had done THIS....!!! :(

...with his finger.

I was so furious, that I slammed the refrigerator door, hard, then I yelled at the sweet, darling, dearest, smushy-pie, snuggle-bunny, baby-face little 4-year-old boy and asked him how could he, then I stormed into the kitchen to try to regain control of my emotions, then walked to and fro, not knowing which way to turn or what to do, then I said with complete exasperation to the 15-year-old girl to come and look what the 4-year-old boy had done, perhaps needing sympathy, then, upon opening the refrigerator, because I had slammed it one minute prior, the door shelf fell off, causing the one-gallon bottle of soy sauce to come crashing down onto the floor, and the thin (apparently) plastic broke in a large 5-inch crack, thus spilling at least 3/4 of a gallon of soy sauce onto my floor, which the 15-year-old girl and I mopped up with beach towels, which are now in the laundry room, thus causing it to smell like sushi.

I told my sad story to tomorrow's host, and she said, in her super-sweet voice (the 18-year-old boy says she's actually the nicest person he's ever met) that it was okay, and that the Amish, when they make their famous quilts, purposely sew in a tiny error to remind themselves that they are human, and have weaknesses and to keep themselves humble. She said this could be my Amish error-on-purpose.

Sure. That works.

Sorry classy ladies who will attend the class tomorrow. I will try to cut around the finger mark.

Thanks for listening, and I will soon be posting this recipe.

After Daybreak... Someone I'd like to introduce you to

One of my best friends in the entire world, who goes by Luvmy9 on her blog, has a son who recently became a member of the band "After Daybreak". Their most recent cover is just absolutely lovely. I'm listening to it right now, with Baby Hippo on my lap and he is watching the video in rapt awe. These boys have incredibly beautiful voices. I hope you can take a look...
