Soy Sausage with Vegetables on Potato Pancake


The bottom is hash browns. The middle is soy sausage, egg whites, turmeric, tomatoes, sprouts, broccoli and red cabbage. Topped with guacamole.

Heather made black-eyed pea tempeh with oats and seaweed


Black Eyed Pea Tempeh Homemade by me!! Sauerkraut homemade too...

I have loved tempeh for its b12 content but never liked the fact I could only find it in soy bean style so I decided to buy my own starter and start my science project. I liked this one the best so far. I used my homemade green cabbage sauerkraut for this one but I like the purple one better, its sweeter and more visually pleasing . Homemade Russian Dressing, sprouts and kraut.

Vanilla Creme is made from Thai young coconuts, their water, coconut oil and vanilla bean with a touch of salt.

Top your fresh fruit of choice and garnish with fresh mint sprigs.

Phyllo wrapped Potato Samosas with Indian Tomato Gravy


Tomato Gravy is spectacular. Use one can of Organic fire roasted tomatoes, soaked almonds or cashew, cumin, turmeric, coriander, and garam masala. Blend in the blender until desired consistency. Heat Earth Balance or Oilve oil in a pan and cook the sauce until throughly warmed and darkened in color. Garnish with cilantro.
Phyllo wrapped potato samosas are available at Indian stores and contain much less bread than traditional ones. Just saute frozen ones in oil til browned.

New Mexico Grilled Green Chili Soup


Roasted Green Chilis with Potatoes, Cilantro and Avacado in a cashew milk base with Cashew Sour Cream.
Not very often am I blessed with fresh roasted green chilis from New Mexico but Holly's kids went for Christmas and brought us some back.

Boil potatoes, add green chilis, cashew milk, vegetarian broth, and salt and pepper. Blend until desired consistency. Add chopped cilantro, chopped avacado and a little cashew sour cream. Cashew sour cream is made out of soaked cashews with a touch of water and a squeeze of lemon juice. Spicy and good!!

Chocolate Covered Cherry Smoothie


Cocao nibs with organic frozen cherries, coconut water, hemp seeds, almonds and a few vanilla bean seeds all blended together make a great smoothie that is very healthy for you. I like the Cocao nibs unsweetened for a little crunch. Add a banana at the end and do not over blend it. I usually blend coconut water with hemp seeds and almonds to make the base, add ice cubes of filtered water and then the cherries. Lastly, I add the cocao nibs and bananas so they dont get too blended. Yummy! It's a dessert for breakfast. Giving you all kinds of benefits.
