I fee better about eating this en masse than the kind premixed in the tub. this makes a generous serving for one but the recipe is easily adjusted; just keep it 3 parts sour cream to 1 part mayo.
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayo
1 tbs chives
1/2 tsp each garlic powder and dill
1/4 tsp each onion powder and black pepper
serving suggestion: bell pepper strips, cucumbers, raw broccoli, pretzel chips, baby carrots
no bake and secretly nutritious.
1 1/4 cup quick or old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup nut butter
1/4 cup flax or chia seeds (or a combination)
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 scoop unflavored or vanilla protein powder
splash of milk (almond, oat, dairy, whatever)
1/2 cup mix ins: mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, raisins + dash cinnamon, 1/4 cup white chocolate chips + 1/4 cup craisins
combine all ingredients, leaving the milk out. refrigerate for 30 minutes. add milk until the consistency is easily formed into balls. keep refrigerated.
worth the effort. I had no idea what a tomatillo was until I made this.
1 1/2 lb tomatillos (better to overestimate than underestimate this one)
1/2 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
cilantro to taste
juice of 1/2 lime
2 jalapeño peppers, diced and seeded (I don’t like spice and the 2 seeded jalapeños was perfect; skip the seeding if you are not as big of a wimp)
salt to taste
Peel and rinse the tomatillos. Cut each in half and place cut side down on a tinfoiled baking sheet. Place under the broiler until they just start to brown or if you are scared of the broiler like me, roast at 425º for about 10 minutes.
Combine with all other ingredients in a blender or food processor. Serve chilled.
works served over lettuce or spinach, or in a wrap with a little bit of (vegan) mayo. serves 4 as a side dish.
1 cup quinoa
1/2 small onion, diced
juice of 1/2 lime
15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup chickpeas, rinsed
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered (or 2-3 regular tomatoes, diced, but only if they are good tomatoes. don’t waste my time with off-season grocery store tomatoes.)
minced garlic to taste
red pepper flakes to taste
Cook quinoa according to package directions. Allow to cool. Combine with all other ingredients.
