Potato Salad

This Entree is creamy and delicious! I have never measured, but this recipe is so easy that is won't be hard to figure out. Ingredients: 10 medium potatoes, cooked, peeled, and cubed 1 can olives, sliced 3/4 to 1 C dill pickles, diced small  (Or substitute dill pickle relish) 1 small onion, diced Salt, to taste Homemade mayo Mayo Recipe 1 C unsweetened Silk soymilk 1 C canola oil 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp onion powder Instructions: Put above mayo ingredients into a high-speed blender.  Blend for one minute and then fold in 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice.  You'll probably need to double this recipe for this potato salad recipe.  Mayo Tip:  If you want this to mimic sour cream, just add another Tablespoon or two of lemon juice. I've never measure the mayo for the potato salad so I'm not sure what to guess, but maybe 3-ish cups. Just add until you think it looks right.  You can always all more mayo to the potato salad ...

Bean Dip

This hearty dip recipe has been a favorite among men!  It's filling and hearty, yet so simple to whip together.  It is great as an appetizer served with chips or rolled up in a burrito shell and sliced.  It also freezes well which is helpful since it makes a large batch. (bottom bowl in the picture) Ingredients: 1 container (8oz) Tofutti cream cheese 1 jar chunky salsa 2 cans chili bean 1-2 C vegan cheese sauce or shreds 1 can olives Instructions: Put all ingredients in a food processor.   Process until somewhat chunky.    **You can also spread this on tortillas.   Spread over tortilla shells and gently roll tortilla up.  Place in Tupperware with saran wrap between each layer.  Chill burrito rolls for 2 hours.  Slice and serve.

Holiday Spinach Dip

This is a simple non-dairy version of a festive holiday favorite.  Serve it in a bread bowl, as dip for a veggie tray, or with crackers.  Any way you serve it, people are likely to eat it right up! Ingredients & Instructions: 1 C vegan sour cream 1 C soy mayo 1 packet dairy free Ranch dressing (Meijer brand is all I know of) 10oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained ½ red pepper, diced Mix and enjoy!  

Taco Soup

This is so so easy!  It pretty much boils down to "open and dump!" All you need to do is keep these few items on hand and you can easily put together a batch in about 30 minutes! Ingredients: 2 or 3 cans mild chili beans 1 quart diced tomatoes 1 15 oz can of corn 1 onion, diced 1/2 C dehydrated chicken flavored TVP (or you can substitute any burger substitute) 1 package Taco Seasoning Instructions: First, cover the TVP with water and let sit for 15-20 minutes.  In the meantime, dice the onion and saute it in a Tablespoon of oil until translucent.  Add in burger and saute for 3-4 minutes.  Add all other ingredients and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.  Heat thoroughly before serving. Don't forget the chips when you serve this!
