PEANUT SAUCE - the best ever
This sauce is pure gold and I don't mean the color alone. It's the taste! Absolutely delicious and you'll hear me say, addictive too. If you are anything like me when it comes to sauces (a condiment queen) then double the recipe because it fabulous on almost anything. Here you see it paired with these yummy Vietnamese Salad Rolls. The pairing is a heavenly match made in 'your own kitchen'. haha.
See my suggestion for a wonderful peanut butter choice and whenever you can, buy organic nut and seed butters.

CREAMY CHIMICHURRI SAUCE
This flavor intense, nutrient dense blend is a beauty. The herb and spice combo is powerful. Pair it with sautéed, grilled or roasted foods or use in place of mayo, mustard or cheese. Use it as a dip for fries or thin with broth or wine and marinate tofu, tempeh mushrooms or eggplant yet keep some to serve on the side. It's perfect for Buddha Bowls and a favorite sauce of mine. So, so good!

ASIAN GINGER SAUCE
Sauces are the secret to sassing up your meals and this flavor filled creation is fabulous as a marinade and sauce. It brings the ‘yum’ to your main courses and side dishes. My preference is to use organic gluten free tamari or soy-free coconut aminos. This is a milder and slightly sweeter tasting alternative to soy sauce and tamari. Like all food creations, choose what you love best. Keep this sauce on hand for quick stir-fry recipes as well as Buddha Bowls.

CASHEW PARMESAN CHEESE
If you are a Parmesan fan and have wanted a vegan version you have scored big. This cashew-parm is so good and it's made in minutes.
While it doesn’t melt like sheep or cow parmesan, it has the most delish flavor profile. It's really tempting to want to spoon this combo straight into your mouth, discipline is required! (For me anyway). Use this blend in any of your creations where you want a cheese taste.

This recipe was inspired during the holiday season while creating a Christmas care package for my son (and my own desire for full, taste explosions of flavor that just happen to pack healthy power).
