Combine the almond butter, tamari, honey, lemon juice and garlic in a medium bowl, and stir well to combine. Add the hot sauce one teaspoon at a time, tasting as you go until the desired spiciness is reached. (Be careful– I found two teaspoons to be pretty darn spicy!) Pour over your favorite veggies or noodles, and enjoy immediately. Store any leftover sauce in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Concetta and I came up with the recipe as the perfect topping for our “honest tom’s” inspired fishless tacos. While this recipe is amazing when made with fresh pineapple, it’s just about as good when using canned pineapple – and quite a bit easier!
Ingredients
1 can cubed pineapple - chopped slightly smaller (or two cups fresh pineapple)
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 jalepeno diced
1 lime, juiced
small handful chopped cilantro
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in bowl. Let sit in the refrigerator. Allowing it to sit before serving gives it a better flavor.

I only put recipes on my site that I love, and this is no exception. Whether you’re a Whole Food, Plant Based person, vegan, vegetarian, or meat eater, you will love this healthy & delicious recipe. It makes a great side, is good in a wrap, or eaten straight as your main entree.
NOTE: To cook dry chickpeas in a pressure cooker, rinse dry beans and make sure there are no stones. Add them to the pressure cooker with 1″ of water covering them. Set the pressure cooker to manual and cook at pressure for 50 minutes. Allow to sit for 10 minutes, and then release pressure.
Ingredients
1lb dry chickpeas, cooked
3 celery stalks, chopped small
1/8 red onion chopped very small
1/2 red pepper, chopped small (optional)
1/2 cup plain vegan yogurt (or enough to coat all beans to the consistency you enjoy)
1-2Tbsp dijon mustard
1-2tsp poultry seasoning or "makes it taste like chicken" seasoning
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
Combine all ingredients. You can mash the chick peas or leave them whole. If you choose to mash, I recommend adding the yogurt and seasoning, then smashing the chickpeas, and add the chopped ingredients last.

In the office, I was speaking to my cousin Evan about the honey my bees in Elkton, MD make. The honey is absolutely amazing! Evan was telling me about a new recipe he made with it, and though I haven’t had it myself, it sounds awesome….so here it is. Thanks Evan! (Photo shows Asian lettuce wraps Evan made with this sauce recipe)
Recipe yields 3/4 cup.
Ingredients
5 tablespoons creamy raw almond or peanut butter
1/4 cup reduced-sodium tamari, or soy sauce*
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Asparagus is a delicious healthy vegetable that is fast an easy to make. It’s my “go to” veggie side. There are countless ways to cook asparagus, but I often cook mine the quick easy way (and my boyfriend Joe does as well) This method can be cooked in the oven, or on the grill with very little difference in the method. Simply cut 1/2-1″ off the bottom of the asparagus, toss with some olive oil, salt and pepper and bake in the oven at XXXDegrees for about. I prefer it a bit “aldente” If you like it that way, cook it for a little less time – for softer asparagus cook it a bit longer.

Wow! Here is a great fall recipe. I now make this every year for our family’s Thanksgiving dinner. (You know, when we all celebrate the terrible things Christopher Columbus did to the native people when he showed up in the US and stole their land – Yes, that glorious day) This dish takes a classic cranberry sauce to the next level. The addition of pears, ginger and cinnamon make this a side to remember.

The majority of her cooking is meant to kill you from the inside out (think Paula Dean style), but that’s part of what makes some of her recipes so good. This is Rusty’s mom’s variation of classic mashed potatoes, with enough extras to make them REALLY bad for you, but amazingly delicious. Start with standard mashed potatoes, however you’d usually make them, and then add the ingredients below.
Ingredients
Mashed potatoes
Sour Cream
Cheese (cheddar)
Grape tomatoes (CUT SMALL)
BASIL – Chopped
Onion-optional
Instructions
Make your favorite mashed potatoes and add these ingredients!
