I tried to get a little cute with this photo - artsy, if you will! On occasion I have found
Nature's Path vegan items on sale and I will pick them up every now and again. I do like their Chia line. I actually had this for SNACK last night. What's that on top - you might ask!? Well, it was my successful attempt at Blueberry Sauce. Some might even call it Blueberry Jelly or Jam - vegan style! It was really quite simple. And I used all organic ingredients! A pint of Organic Blueberries, Organic Lemon Juice, and Wholesome Sweeteners Raw Cane Sugar. Here are the measurements in case you were wondering:
1 Pint Blueberries
1/3 C Raw Cane Sugar
2 teas Lemon Juice
Here's another look at this yummy sauce! I have to be honest I have had a bit of a sweet tooth lately - that usually isn't like me - but I have been trying to stay to fruit. I think this did the trick! Of course I wouldn't turn down a piece of Vegan Cheesecake if I were to come across one. teehee. Actually there is a place in Buffalo that I LOVE that has Vegan Cheesecake and I haven't had it yet. I really need to take a trip soon! Anyhow...this sauce was pretty amazing! It's sweet and rich and pretty thick, too! I'm so glad I used my pint of Blueberries for this! I still have some in the frig and hope to incorporate it into my foods this evening in some way, shape, or form!
I'm kind of going backwards here, but that's ok, right!?
Check this bad-boy out! It's Tomato Tahini Sauce! Here's what I did for this little gem:
6 Cherry Tomatoes (or a bit bigger than Cherry)
1/3 C Tahini
1 T Rice Vinegar
1-2 T Balsamic
Pinch Cayenne Pepper
Next time I think I will just use the Balsamic instead of Rice or using BOTH like I did here. I really prefer the Balsamic to give it that ZING and the little bit of KICK from the Cayenne is neat but my favorite part is that I used Tomato AND Tahini together in this! It's almost like a Sour Cream consistency but you can taste all 4 main ingredients separately AND together!
And here is what I did for dinner on the stove top! Yellow Potatoes, 3 kinds of Sweet Peppers including - Red, Orange, and Yellow, Onion, and Wildtree's Rancher Steak Rub to taste. As I've mentioned before I like crispy foods on occasion so I accomplished that with this dish as well.
So last night I was 3 for 3 on my food attempts and I am looking forward to incorporating both sauces in other foods SOON.
What do you think of them!?
I love waffles...and pancakes too! Would be lovely with blueberry sauce, I'm sure. We have that in cakes sometimes like Blackforest, for example, here...
ReplyDeleteI think it would work perfect in a cake! A Layered one - because of how thick it is! Great idea!
DeleteWe love blueberries in our household. We have two blueberry shrugs in our yard, so much more flavorful then getting them from the store. Of course, if you eat them straight from the vine you still have to take precautions (just as you would eating any other raw veggies) otherwise you could possibly introduce unwelcome visitors (parasites) into your body. ;)
ReplyDeleteThese were local and organic and I could tell the difference. I could especially tell the difference with the organic peaches I had as a mono meal yesterday for lunch! They were AmAzInG!!!! LOVED THEM!
DeleteMmmm blueberry sauce!!!!! Sounds divine =)
ReplyDeleteOh and those potatoes look great!
Thanks! The Blueberry Sauce is super dark as you can see :) A lot of people has been saying it looks like Chocolate Sauce which I am sure that would be another idea, too, a Blueberry Chocolate Sauce! Oooooo!
DeleteThat blueberry sauce sounds divine! Thanks for linking up at Pin It Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I had the last little bit of it last and and WOW does it make your tongue blue! LOL
DeleteThe waffles look awesome with the blueberry sauce, yum! But the tahini sauce looks amazing, need to try it with tomatoes from the garden!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I thought that the Tomato Tahini might be up your alley! I'm going to try it with dill next, I think!
