Man & Mac Dressing - Vegan & Rawish!

Over the weekend I made this dressing.  It's Vegan and Raw-ish.  The only non-raw ingredient - the nuts...and here's why...

A while back I bought a back of Onion & Garlic flavored Macadamia Nuts.  I thought I would LOVE them but didn't really.  I didn't want to waste them so I thought I would use them in this dressing.  I'm very glad I did because it turned out AWESOME!

Here's what I did...

1/2 C Mac Nuts
4 Mandarin Oranges
3 Mini Yellow Peppers
Garlic Powder, Turmeric Powder, Ginger Powder to taste.

That's it!  How easy is that!?  VERY Flavorful!  LOVED IT!  Must try this again!  I have another foodie post that I will be sharing soon...it wasn't as successful as this one but I think it has potential.  I didn't want to post it in the same post because it's similar in color - but completely different!

What's the last Dressing you made at home?

Waste NOT! Creamy Carrot Garlic Dressing & EZ BBQ Tofu

There are just some things I can't stand CANNED.  Peas is one of them and Carrots are another one.  YES...FRESH is best and frozen is still good but sometimes I can't get around canned.  PLUS...somehow acquired a 'thing' of CANNED Carrots!  BLAH!  Instead of throwing it away I really wanted to USE the can of carrots in some way!  I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!  Last night I made this Creamy Carrot Garlic Dressing and it turned out pretty good, actually!  I used a half can of carrots, 2 heaping tablespoons of Tahini, the juice of 1 lime, 2 Cloves of Garlic, 2 to 3 T dried Cilantro, and some water.  It has a nice kick to it with a hint of sweet.

Another thing I did last night was an EZ BBQ Tofu Sandwich.  All I did was use what I had left of my Wildtree Cactus Pete's Agave BBQ Sauce and added about 2 T of Tahini to it.  I cheated and sliced some tofu and pan fried it first and then covered it in the sauce and baked it at about 400 for 20 minutes.  I was pleasantly surprised at this out come!  You can use just about any BBQ Sauce, really.  And instead of Tahini you could probably use Peanut Butter or any other kind of 'nut butter'. 

Just a quick post today - but I hope to be back tomorrow with another post!
