Chia Pudding

By

 Chia pudding. The first time we had this we were so impressed. My kids (and I!) gobbled down the everything that I made. It was truly yummy!

And it's so good for you. Fiber. Protein. Healthy fats. This yummy meal helps control your blood sugar levels and is great for cholesterol levels and gut health. It's good for building lean muscle, and it helps you feel full and satisfied. 

Ingredients:

1/4 C chia seeds
1 C soymilk (or other nondairy milk)
1 T maple syrup (or other natural sweetener)

Instructions:

Pour ingredients into a jar and mix well. Let settle for 2 - 3 minutes and then mix again. You don't want any clumping. Cover the jar and store in the fridge or at least 2 hours. When you're ready to eat, top with your favorite fruit and enjoy cold.

Potato Carrot Cheese

By
Everyone needs to try this recipe.  I could sit and dip chips in this cheese at every meal, I think.  I like that it has lots of fiber and nutrients.  It's a little cheaper than some recipes because the base is made from potatoes and carrots.  It is bursting with flavor! Ingredients: 2 C cooked potatoes 1 C cooked carrots 1/2 C nutritional yeast, scant 1/2 C water (use from cooked potatoes and carrots) 1/3 C light olive oil 1 Tbsp lemon juice 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp chicken-style seasoning 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp onion powder 2 oz pimientos Instructions: Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.   Serve with chips, on broccoli, as macaroni and cheese, on lasagna.  This is so very yummy!

Creamy Basil Dressing

By
This time of year I always have lots and lots of basil growing in the garden. I always make lots of pesto to freeze for the winter, and this year I started looking for a new recipe that I could use my basil in.  This recipe is so delightful! It's fresh and tasty. We've used it on burritos and salad so far.  It really makes my taste buds happy! Ingredients: 3/4 C water 1/3 C raw cashews 1/3 C olive oil 3 Tbsp nutritional yeast flakes 2 Tbsp lemon juice 8-10 fresh basil leaves 1 clove garlic 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp salt Instructions: Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender, and blend until there are no gritty pieces of cashews, and everything is smooth and creamy.  Serve chilled.
