2 tortillas (or wraps)
2 tbsp cream cheese
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup grated carrot
divide & spread cream cheese evenly over wraps. top with carrot & spinach. fold like a burrito, or roll up & slice into 1 inch pieces.
make it vegan: use soy cream cheese.Add comment May 28th, 2008
1 banana, sliced into 1 inch pieces
1 apple, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 pear, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice
6 skewers
preheat grill. (i use an indoor one similar to a george forman) soak skewers in water. meanwhile, mix together the sugar and cinnamon until well combined. add lemon juice and mix. slide fruit pieces onto skewers, alternating. brush sugar mixture over the fruit and place on grill. cook about 6 minutes, turn over and cook another 6 minutes.
this is enough to make about 6 skewers, but it all really depends on how big each piece of fruit is.Add comment April 21st, 2008
1/4-1/2 cup apple sauce (depends on the size of bread)
2 slices bread
margarine
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp sugar
heat a small skillet over medium heat. meanwhile in a small bowl mix together cinnamon and sugar. butter the bread and place one slice in skillet, butter side down. spread applesauce over bread and top with other slice. sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture, and flip when bottom slice is browned. repeat on the other side. cut in half to serve.
probably the strangest use for apple sauce, i was a little apprehensive to making these but they turned out much better than i imagined. this sandwich is great for any meal, or snack. i usually make extra cinnamon sugar to use later and for other recipes. i’ve always used plain unsweetened applesauce, but they now have flavored kinds which would also work.Add comment April 15th, 2008
1 1/2 cups tortilla chips
1 large can pinto beans, drained
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup corn
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp steak seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
grease an 8 x 8 inch baking dish. crush tortilla chips, or use what’s at the bottom of the bag, and cover bottom of dish. in a bowl mix together the rest of the ingredients. pour over chips. place in 350 degree oven and cook 30 minutes, or until heated through.
if you have cheese grate about 1/2 cup and sprinkle over mixture before baking. salsa can be used to top this off after cooking. you can also skip the crushed tortilla chips, and use whole ones to eat the casserole with instead of a spoon. despite the name steak seasoning is vegan. it’s just a blend of spices that tastes great on nearly everything and it adds tons of flavor to this dish.2 comments April 7th, 2008
2 limes, juiced
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp imitation honey
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 cucumber, thinly sliced
½ red onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp sesame seeds
combine juice of limes, rice wine vinegar, honey and sesame oil. add cucumber and onion, season with salt and toss in sesame seeds.
i’ve also made this salad with sliced green pepper ; red, yellow, or orange pepper slices would be great and add tons of color.Add comment April 4th, 2008
