1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar

2. Stir in the rest of the ingredients except the vegan sugar. Make tablespoon sized balls of dough and roll in the vegan sugar.
3. Place cookies 1-2” apart on ungreased sheet.
4. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes (if you prefer a chewy cookie, 13 minutes is best, harder cookie 15-16 mins.) Let cool for 1 to 2 minutes and place on wire rack or a plate is fine as well.

1 large head broccoli, chopped
1 tablespoon vegan margarine
2 heaping teaspoons flour
1 cup nondairy milk
4 heaping teaspoons nutritional yeast
pinch nutmeg
pinch dry mustard
thyme, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
vegetable broth, as needed, optional
2 cups cooked white rice (or brown!!)
4-8 ounces lemon pepper baked tofu, diced (or more veggies instead!)
1-2 cups cracker or bread crumbs
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Steam broccoli until crisp-tender. While broccoli is cooking, melt margarine in a saucepan.
2. Stir in the flour. Keep stirring until it is thick. Whisk in the milk, then nutritional yeast. Add nutmeg and dry mustard. Add thyme, salt, and pepper, to taste.
3. If it gets too thick, add some veggie broth. In a casserole dish, combine rice, steamed broccoli and tofu. Pour the sauce over it all.

1 1/2 cups cashews
1 lemon, juiced
1/3 cup water
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
sea salt or pink himalayan salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
mustard powder, to taste
2 to 3 cups spinach
1. Place cashews into food processor, crank up to high and grind into a fine, almost flour like consistency. The faster the speed the better when adding the liquids.
2. Add in lemon juice and slowly add in water until it is a little runnier than you would like as it will thicken once you let it stand. Add garlic, sea salt, pepper, and mustard powder.
3. Once this is processed into a ultra smooth paste (or thinner) consistency, add spinach and pulse on medium if you like the traditional chunky spinach dip texture, or on high for an ultra smooth dip!
Enjoy with raw crackers or pita.
Source of recipe: I was badly craving spinach dip one day and scoured the web for a raw recipe that I liked, but I couldn’t find anything that didn’t require an ingredient that I didn’t have. I took a collective of a few different recipes and voila! Raw spinach dip was born!
