Recipes:
Loaded Veggie Sandwich
Toast two pieces of bread. Mash on half of an avocado and top with salt, red pepper flakes, spinach, red bell pepper, sprouts and tofu, and kraut. Enjoy J.
Mushroom Bourguignon
Serves 3 adults 2x
Heat up 1 cup of water and add 1 pack of dried porcini mushrooms to the water. Let this marinade while you start the stew.
During this time you will also want to “cream” together either vegan butter and flour or coconut oil and flour. The coconut oil will change the flavor so just use the vegan butter. It’s a 1:1 ratio, so if you like your stew a little bit thinner cream together 1 tbsp. vegan butter and 1 tbsp. flour. If you like it thicker cream together 2 tbsp. flour and 2 tbsp. vegan butter. I have never gone for 3, so if you do let me know.
In a large pot add 2 tbsp. avocado oil over medium heat.
Next add 1 diced sweet onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
After, add 1 finely diced carrot, 1 finely diced red pepper, 4 diced cloves of garlic, and 2 packs of sliced baby Portobello mushrooms. Sauté for another five minutes and then add ½ tsp pink salt, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp oregano, and ½ tsp black pepper. Stir and then add 2 tbsp. of tomato paste.
Now you’ll add the creamed vegan butter/ flour mixture, the porcini mushrooms that have been soaking, the water the mushrooms were soaking in, and 2 cups of a GOOD red wine. I used Francis Copolla Claret, and then drink the rest J. Bring this to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low and cook for 20-30 minutes stirring occasionally
You can serve this with mashed potatoes or pasta, but personally I like nice crusty bread.
Twice Baked Potatoes:
Serves 3 adults and 1 toddler 2x
Wash and pat dry 7 baking potatoes.
Preheat your oved to 430 °F
Puncture these potatoes by stabbing them with a fork.
Microwave said potatoes according to microwave instructions (you could just bake them longer, but aint nobody got time for that).
In a skillet heat 1 tbsp. avocado oil and sauté a few handfuls of spinach
Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat mat
Rub potatoes with a drizzle of avocado oil and sprinkle with sea salt
Bake potatoes for 20 minutes
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cook a little, then slice them in half length-wise and carefully scoop out the middle and place the middle in a bowl
Combine the potato inside with ¾ cup Kite Hill Almond Milk Cream Cheese, cooked spinach, 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp pepper, and 1 tbsp. granulated garlic. Stir this mixture together and distribute evenly back to the potato skins
Sprinkle with more nutritional yeast and bake for another 5-10 minutes.
Smashed Avocado Dressing
Serves 2
Mash 1 ripe avocado with a fork. Add ¼ tsp salt, 1 tbsp. maple syrup, and the juice of 1 lime. Viola.
