One of the posts from yesterday was about my NEW Favorite Creamy Vegan Tomato Sauce! Yes...fresh is BEST but if you are feeling lazy or just want to give this one a whirl - it's darn right amazing! So here is what I did with the sauce and it turned out terrific! I did Brown Rice Pasta and mixed veggies. Veggies were...Asparagus, Broccoli, Carrots, and Green Beans. Also in the mix there were mushrooms and I added about a teaspoon of Hemp Seeds for the heck of it. YUM!

This was one of my dishes from the end of last week! Again Brown Rice Pasta but a different kind and the veggies were peas, corn, broccoli, carrots, and I think a small amount of edamame. With this one, tho, I used Wildtree Wasabi Ginger Sauce for the flavor and it was GREAT!

And FINALLY...this wonderful SMOOTHIE.
Another spectacular attempt if I do say so myself! Here's what I used...
2 C Coconut Water
1 Banana
1 C Frozen Mango
1/2 Lime

DeleteThanks! It was one of my best Wheatgrass Flavored attempts!!!!
DeleteThe pasta dishes look great!!! and I'll ave to try that smoothie if I win if not I'll ub some kale until I buy my own wheat grass!
ReplyDeleteI noticed some bigger chains like Wegmans (not sure if you have them in your area) or Whole Foods or Trader Joe's has frozen Wheat Grass "shots". I bet those would work, too! BUT...once you try some of these GoL Powders and find your fave you won't look back!
DeleteOoo! That smoothie with some mint stevia added sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of NuNaturals products and recipes on tap, too! They have some new syrups that I am rather excited about!
DeleteFresh mint is the best in smoothies!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I'm a bit of a MINT Freak :)
DeleteThe pasta and smoothie sound wonderful! Agreed on fresh, but sometimes easy is needed!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Indeed! When you are on the go or low on fresh ingredients or just not feeling being creative in the kitchen! It's going to be interesting to see what we come up with for meals while on vacation! LOL I will certainly post them here!
DeleteHi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteMy what good eats you have! I love to eat brown rice pasta. I just discovered it recently and it is so light and delicious.
