Strawberry Pie

Ingredients

Crust:
1 cup raw peanuts
3/4 cup raw walnuts
1 cup (packed) pitted dates
¼ tsp (scant) sea salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Filling:
3 cups fresh strawberries (measured whole if small, or cut in half if large; these are for filling, you will need extra for garnishing if desired)
3/4 cup raw cashews, unsoaked (see note)
3-4 tbsp raw agave nectar (can substitute pure maple syrup if preferred; start with 3, adjust to taste)
1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Couple pinches sea salt
1 tsp lemon zest (stir in after pureeing)
Extra strawberries for garnishing, optional

Methods/steps

1) Lightly oil a pie plate with coconut or another oil.

2) Prepare the crust: Place all the crust ingredients in a food processor and pulse briefly until crumbly and the mixture will hold together when pressed with your fingers.

3) Transfer the mixture to the prepared pie plate, pressing it evenly into the pan.

4) Prepare the filling: Place all the filling ingredients, except the lemon zest (and starting with 3 tablespoons of the agave nec- tar), in a high-powered blender (see note). Puree for a minute or so at medium-high speed until completely smooth and no texture of the cashews remains.

5) Taste, and add the remaining tablespoon of agave, if needed, to sweeten, and puree again.

6) Once smooth, stir in the lemon zest.

7) Pour the filling into the crust, then cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and place the pie in the freezer for at least 5 to 6 hours to set. After this time, the pie will be partially set, but can be sliced. You can freeze it longer, and remove the pie about 20 minutes before serving, to slice easily. Serves 6-8.

Dont Ever Give Up

Don't let any one stop you from making your dreams come true, despite other unfavorable circumstances. If your unhappy change it, life is so short, live and do what makes you happy. Here are ten of my favorite quotes, never ever ever ever give up on your dreams!

1. "Don't delay action on a good idea, chances are someone else has just thought of it, too! Success comes to those who act first!"

 2. "If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you dontt ask, the answers always no. If you don't step forward then you'll always be in the same place."

 3. "Even if your on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."

 4. "Failure is no more permanent condition than success. For even if you succeed, there's still another test."

 5. "Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang, except those that sang best."

 6. "I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. Ive lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over again in my life. And that why I succeed!" -Michael Jordan

7. "When ocstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal, you dont change your decision to get there."

8. "It takes both rain and sunshine to make a rainbow."

9. "The only person who can really motivate you is you! So believe in yourself!"

10. "Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; while others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than before."

11. One more: "It's easier to go down a hill than up it, but the view from the top is breath taking."

Dont ever give up on your dreams!
