It really is amazing when you put it all together.  And it can fit anyone's taste because everyone gets to top it as they like.  


Ingredients:

Steam or cook the following separately --
Rice (cook according to package directions)
Potatoes, sliced or diced
Tofu, lightly fried with a touch of chicken style seasoning
Green beans
Carrots, sliced
Cabbage
Tomato, optional
Cucumber, optional
Peanuts, roasted and/or salted

Peanut Sauce
1/4 C creamy natural peanut butter
2 T lime juice
3 T neutral flavored oil
1 T low-sodium soy sauce
2 T honey
2 1/2 T cane sugar
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1-inch square piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tsp salt
2 T fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, optional

Instructions:

For the dressing, combine all of the ingredients except for the cilantro in a food processor and process until completely smooth.  Add the cilantro and process for a few seconds until the cilantro is finely chopped.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.

For the stack, starting with rice, stack the rest of the vegetables.  Top with peanut sauce and peanuts.  Enjoy!

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.
