Zesty Hummus Dressing

Sorry I didn't post a 2nd time like I said I would yesterday. I have been having some glitches with blogger the last couple of days. I'm actually typing this in HTML now because it's the only way the editor will let me create a new post. I apologize if the last couple of posts look funky.

Yesterday was really gloomy and rainy and by the end of the day I just didn't feel like doing anything. I didn't even know what I wanted to eat. I had this simple salad. I decided to take some hummus and make it into a dressing. It was a success! Check out what I threw in my blender and used on my salad...

1/4 C Hummus (I used Trader Joe's Red Pepper Hummus)
1 t Dijon Mustard
3 T Lemon Juice
2 T Minced Garlic
2 t Maple Syrup
Handful of Nutritional Yeast
Handful of Hemp Seeds
Squirt of Coconut Aminos
Splash of Pumpkin Oil
Water as needed

Another Day - Another VEGAN Mac & Cheese

I NEED to get to the store.  I ran out of cashews.  I don't have any pine nuts or Brazil nuts at my house at the moment either.  Believe it or not...I don't even have carrots, potatoes, cauliflower, or much else in the way of produce either.  How the heck did I make this vegan Mac & Cheese, then?

1 C Sunflower Seeds

1/2 C Potato Flakes *

4 Cloves Garlic, Minced

2 T Wildtree Absolutely Onion

Handful of Hemp Seeds

Splash of Pumpkin Oil

1/3 C Nutritional Yeast

1 Hefty Squirt of Yellow Mustard

1 C Water

2 T Apple Cider Vinegar

Sprinkle EACH of Black Sea Salt, Nutmeg, Smoked Paprika, Turmeric

Top with Smoked Paprika, if you wish!

By Potato Flakes you can even use PLAIN Instant Mashed Potato Flakes that also happen to be vegan.

It was pretty tasty.  The texture was different from a smooth cashew base but it was hearty and did the job!
