Easy Crust

I've never been one to roll out a pie crust so anything that I can press and squeeze and shape is great for me! :) I love this crust that I use for quiche because you mix it up and press it in the pan.


Ingredients:

1 C whole wheat or unbleached all-purpose flour
1 C almond meal
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp mild olive oil or canola oil
2-3 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp flaxmeal, optional

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a food processor, add the dry ingredients and pulse to combine.  With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in oil.  Add the water as well, but just one tablespoon at a time until the dough sticks together when you press it between your fingers.

Crumble the dough into the pan and press the mixture evenly on the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Press firmly and evenly. Poke a few holes in the bottom of the crust, and then bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Once you pull it out of the oven, it's ready for you to pour a filling in and bake.

Potato Carrot Cheese

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!

This is one of our very favorite desserts and often gets requested for birthdays.  It's simple and so delicious. We even accidentally found out that it is great as frozen key lime pie as well! :) Ingredients: 12 oz firm tofu (water-packed or Mori-nu both work well!) 1 - 8 oz non-dairy cream cheese 1/2 C lime juice  3/4 C cane juice crystals 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 Tbsp honey 2 Tbsp cornstarch 1 graham cracker crust* Instructions: Blend all ingredients in the blender until very smooth. Pour into a saucepan and stir constantly over medium heat until it starts to bubble a little. Pour into a graham cracker crust and chill for at least four hours or overnight. *Use gluten-free crust to make this dessert gluten-free.
