Vegan Fun

A couple of Vegan products - Lara bars + food should taste good brand sweet potato chips! YUM!

I experimented making a  vegan cheese sauce for pasta and this is what I came up with:

2 tablespoons of  vegan butter (my choice was earth balance)
1 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1/2 teaspoon mustard (my choice was maison orphee- yellow mutard with tumeric)
1 teaspoon tumeric
3/4 cups of almond milk

I melted the butter and added the rest of the ingredients. you can add more almond milk for the consistency you want. I added this to some pasta and added some raw veggies. yumin my tum:)

EGGPLANT

Eggplant is high inCalcium, magnesium, iron, folic acid and Vitamin A + C. Eggplant contains no fat. If frying be careful as eggplant is like a sponge and will soak up a lot of oil. Good idea to bake eggplant.

Babaganoush

2 or 3 cups eggplants peeled and chopped
1/2 cup of parsley
2tbsp of tahini
pinch cumin
pinch cayenne (optional)
2 garlic cloves
sea salt
lemon

Blend all ingredients and enjoy with veggie sticks or pita bread:)

NUTRITIONAL YEAST

Nutritional yeast is a nutritional supplement high in B vitamins. A good food source of B12 for Vegans. A healthy alternative seasoning with no cholesterol or sodium. It is well know to be used on popcorn. I add it to all kinds of dishes like pasta, veggies add dips. It is an inactive yeast so It doesn't grown in your intestines and rob you of beneficial nutrients like actives yeasts  that are found in beer and wine. Bragg carries nutritional yeast seasoning that comes in a shaker.

Saute some garlic in olive oil
add asparagus
nutritional yeast (desired amount)
sea salt
optional crushed pepper flakes
optional  Seaweed Gomasio

YUM!!!
