Food fuels much more than the body. A good (or bad) meal can bring strangers together and friends closer. It is no wonder than many religious traditions celebrate breaking bread as a community. It is truly with intention that a meal unites bridging the gaps of time, language, and age.
My allergies to dairy and gluten can present a challenge at restaurants or with friends and family; however, I have been blessed with beautiful meals that have indeed been shared with love. As I write this, I feast on gratitude for those that have put a dash of love on my plate.
Here are some delicious recipes I have enjoyed with friends and think you will too!
Tahini Sauce
1/4 C lemon juice
1/2 C canola oil (I usually use olive)
1/4 C tamari or Bragg's (I use the coconut aminos)
1/3 C tahini
1 Tbsp finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1/4 C water
Combine in blender and blend until smooth. Tastes delicious with blanched kale.
Honey-Balsamic Bean Salad - This salad has a zippy flavor that can be a lil addictive. ;) Would also be good with cherry tomatoes and a bit more romaine than the recipe calls for.
Spinach Quinoa Socca Cakes - Full of flavor, these cakes are good any time of day. The "batter" can be made and stored in the fridge for a quick healthy dinner or breakfast.
Wild Stuffed Roasted Squash - The stuffing is good in and out of the squash. I recommend adding oil and spice to the squash prior to stuffing.
