Raw Chocolate Cheesecake! Yum!

Chocolate Cheesecake W/ Blueberry topping
Crust:
2 C walnuts
1 C soaked dates
2 T cocoa
Blend in a food processor until doughy.
Cheese:
3 C soaked Cashews
3 peeled lemons
1 C raw honey
1 t vanilla
4 T cocoa
Blend well, I did take the seeds out of the lemons.
Topping:
3 C blueberries
1/2 C raw honey
3 T water or more until blended
Blend well!
Layer in a pie pan or small cake pan, crust, blended cheese, and topping. Put in freezer after each layer to set. This is very rich and a small piece does the trick. I thought the cheese layer was maybe a little too lemony. Is lemony a word? Anyway adjust according!
I found this recipe on loving it raw. com. I changed a few things to my own liking but will probably play with it a little more. It's nice to have something like this every once in a while!

Almost 27 weeks!!!

It has been about 3 weeks since I posted. So you are probably thinking I have been blowing it big time. But that is not the case!! I have been doing pretty good.
My husband took me on a surprise vacation for our 17th wedding anniversary! It was a fun time. I did not do the best on that trip. However here at home I have been doing good. I have gained some weight, kinda sad but I do want a healthy baby. I just have to keep on this right track and things will be fine!
I think I made my favorite green smoothie today. Here is the recipe!

Favorite Green Smoothie
2 big handfuls of spinach
2 c+ water
1 c frozen mango
2 peeled oranges
1/2 c frozen pinapple
2 T agave
Blend up and enjoy. so green and pretty and so yummy!

I'm really going to try to post some pics. Not sure if my dial up will let me but I'm really going to try!
