Recipe for Julienned Zucchini Vegan Bowl with Peanut Sriracha Sauce

Julienned Zucchini Vegan Bowl with Peanut-Sriracha Sauce
Julienned Zucchini Vegan Bowl with Peanut-Sriracha Sauce is a perfect Meatless Monday dinner.

Even though I recently posted my collection of 50 Amazing Zucchini Recipes, a wonderful friend keeps bringing me zucchini, so I keep experimenting with it.  Ever since I got a Julienne Cutter a couple of summers ago, I've been having fun with easy-to-make zucchini "noodles" and this was another recipe where I used thin little strips of zucchini as a stand-in for pasta, topped with peanut-Sriracha sauce this time.  I added some diagonally sliced sugar snap peas, thin strips of red bell pepper, cilantro, and a few chopped peanuts, but you could add most any type of raw vegetable that would taste good with a spicy peanut sauce.

Tamaki Haiga White Rice Without The GuiltRice Lovers Must Try This!

Image
Tamaki Haiga is polished but still has the germ. Follow Foods For Long Life on Facebook and Pinterest. Download my eBook, Health Begins in the Kitchen, on Amazon and iTunes. Tamaki Haiga Yesterday my girlfriend brought over a cup of white (actually tan), short-grain Tamaki Haiga rice for me to try. The kernels were small and delicate but nothing out of the ordinary. But was I in for a big surprise! Haiga means "germ" in Japanese. It turns out that Tamaki Haigi is milled in a very special way that removes the heavy outer coating of the rice but maintains the germ where lots of the good stuff resides. Lets face it, many of us eat brown rice out of guilt because we know its better for us than white rice. Even Andrew Weil admitted in a conference that he doesnt like brown rice. But to be able to eat something as delicious as white rice and know it still has the germ that provides vitamins B1, B2, B6, vitamin E, fiber, and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) - well thats almost too goo...

CrockPot Dolmas Recipe

Image
Day 344. Jessica emailed me a few weeks ago and asked if I had a crockpot dolmas recipe. I didnt, but I do now! These are super easy, fun to make, and even more fun to eat. I was floored at how many my kids ate---they really liked them a lot. The Ingredients. 1 jar grape leaves (8oz of leaves, in juice, near the pickles) 1/2 pound ground lamb 1/2 pound ground turkey breast 1 cup cooked white rice 1/2 cup chopped parsley 2 lemons 1 egg 1 tsp allspice 1 tsp dill The Directions . I used a 6 quart crockpot , anything 4 quarts and up would work just fine. I got this recipe after putting a few together from this website according to the flavors I thought my family would enjoy, and from how I remember dolmas to taste. I really think theres no wrong or right way to do these, its like meatloaf--everyone has their own version. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, rice, egg, spices, and juice from one lemon. Mix well with your hands to combine. Drain and rinse the grape leaves. Put a sm...

CrockPot Honey Cake Recipe

Image
Day 273. Rosh Hashanah starts at sundown tonight. Last week, Brenda emailed me ask if Ive ever made a honey cake in the crockpot. I hadnt. After I called my friend, Jennifer (yes, I realize all my friends are named Jennifer), I learned that honey cake is usually pretty dry and dense. She said "I dont like it, I wont eat it. But my dad does." I really like Jennifers dad, and was on a mission to make a moist honey cake---the crockpot delivers moist cakes. Unless you burn it. I messed this up completely. The cake was rising properly, smelled delicious, and was brown and pulling away from the sides of the crock. The top was still pretty jiggly, so I felt comfortable leaving it for 45 minutes on high while we went to swim lessons. I came home to a horrible burnt-cake smell. The top and middle was okay, but I threw the rest away. That said! If I had taken the lid off, and watched it for about 30 minutes, I think this would have been wonderful. Id love to hear back if anyone tr...
