Tahini Lime Dressing

I saw this dressing on an episode of "The Chef and the Dietitian" and I couldn't WAIT to make it. This is, hands down, the best dressing I've ever had. And it is incredibly healthy to boot! Thanks so much, Plant-Based Dietitian Julieanna Hever and Chef AJ. They call it their "house dressing," and I am sure you're going to love it.


Ingredients:



  • 4 tablespoons tahini

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 6 tablespoons lime

  • 4 teaspoons stone ground mustard

  • 8 tablespoons nutritional yeast

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

  • 4 teaspoons soy sauce


Preparation:



  1. Whisk together the tahini and the water until the tahini is completely dissolved.

  2. Add all of the other ingredients and whisk until thoroughly mixed.

  3. Enjoy on a salad, over greens, or as a dip for veggies...the possibilities are endless!

Sage and Pepper Gravy Mix

I always have this mix in my pantry because it makes gravy making SO EASY! It's also gluten free, if that matters to you. I love my gluten - and my favorite way to enjoy gravy is on the Minimalist Baker's Best Damn Vegan Biscuits . Ingredients: 1 cup brown rice flour 1/4 cup nutritional yeast powder 4 teaspoons ground sage 2 teaspoons salt 1-2 teaspoons ground black pepper (depending on how much pepper you like) Preparation: Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Store in your pantry in an airtight container. (I use Mason jars.) When you're ready to enjoy: mix 1/4 cup gravy mix with 2 cups of unsweetened plant-based milk. Make sure the milk is unsweetened or you will end up with a sweet gravy, and that's no good. (Yes, I made that mistake once.) Heat over high heat until the mixture comes to a boil, stirring constantly. Keep stirring until the gravy reaches your desired thickness. Notes: Be sure to use nutritional yeast powder instead of flakes - this wa

Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 tablespoon dijon mustard 2 cloves minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon maple syrup Preparation: Put all ingredients in a small jar and SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE.

Soy Yogurt in the Instant Pot

Image
It is SO EASY to make soy yogurt in the Instant Pot - you need just two ingredients and some time. Be careful with the soy milk that you use, though. The only ingredients should be soybeans and water. Any additives/preservatives may throw off your end product. I typically use Westsoy original unsweetened or EdenSoy unsweetened soy milk. Also, keep in mind this may be a little thinner than some commercial yogurts, as it doesn't have any thickeners. Ingredients: 1 32 oz. box of unsweetened soy milk 1 Jarrow Formulas Jarro-Dophilus probiotic capsule Preparation: Open the package of soy milk. Pull or cut open the probiotic capsule and pour its contents into the soy milk carton. Cap the carton and SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE. Pour the soy milk into four small (8 oz.) jars. Place the jars inside the Instant Pot pot - no water, no rack - just put them on the bottom of the pot. Put the lid on the IP and close the vent. Set the Instant Pot to the yogurt setting for 13 - 15 hours.
