Lose the greasy, butter popcorn sauce and put a spin on this movie-time mainstay with garlic and parmesan.
Ingredients
Warm vegetable oil in a large, deep pot with a tight-fitting lid over high heat. When oil is hot, add unpopped popcorn, cover pot, and cook 1 minute. Vigorously slide pot back and forth over burner until popcorn begins to pop. Continue cooking and shaking pot until popping subsides, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat and transfer popcorn to large serving bowl. Pour butter-garlic mixture over popcorn, sprinkle with Parmesan and cayenne and toss to coat. Season with salt and serve.

***I DO NOT LIKE TOFU and was so thrilled that I took a chance with this recipe. I will not make the traditional, sugar filled pie again unless it is Thanksgiving. (Then I'll bring both.) ***To my surprise, the crust was what most "guinnea pigs" did not want again. Everyone loved the taste of the pie filling. http://karalydon.com/recipes/vegan-gluten-free-pumpkin-pie/ Total Time: 42 min
Prep: 20 min Inactive: 10 min Cook: 12 min Yield:4 servings Level:Easy Try this arugula salad with walnuts, cranberries, goat cheese and beets. Ingredients 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 3 tablespoons shallots, thinly sliced 1 tablespoon honey 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil Salt and freshly ground black pepper 6 medium beets, cooked and quartered 6 cups fresh arugula 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted, coarsely chopped 1/4 cup dried cranberries or dried cherries 1/2 avocado, peeled, pitted, and cubed 3 ounces soft fresh goat cheese, coarsely crumbled Directions Line a baking sheet with foil. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Whisk the vinegar, shallots, and honey in a medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in the oil. Season the vinaigrette, to taste, with salt and pepper. Toss the beets in a small bowl with enough dressing to coat. Place the beets on the prepared baking sheet and roast until the beets are slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Set aside and cool. Toss the arugula, walnuts, and cranberries in a large bowl with enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad, to taste, with salt and pepper. Mound the salad atop 4 plates. Arrange the beets around the salad. Sprinkle with the avocado and goat cheese, and serve. Recipe courtesy of Giada De Laurentiis ***We do not always add the avocado. We also go lighter on the shallots. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/beet-and-goat-cheese-arugula-salad-recipe.html Makes at least 2 dozen medium-sized cookies
Ingredients: 2 ½ / 350g whole spelt flour ¼ tsp. fine grain sea salt ½ tsp. baking powder 1 Tbsp. ground ginger (or less if you prefer more mild gingerbread) 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon ground cloves ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 5 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted ½ cup / 70g coconut sugar ½ cup / 125ml unsulfured blackstrap molasses 3 Tbsp. unsweetened applesauce 1 tsp. vanilla extract Directions: 1. Sift the dry ingredients together. 2. In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil, then whisk in the molasses, applesauce, and vanilla. 3. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry, and fold to combine – you may need to use your hands to mix this, but don’t overwork the dough. Fold just until the ingredients come together evenly. Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, make a ball, then flatten into a large disc. Wrap and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour. 4. Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Remove dough from the fridge, unwrap and cut in half. Wrap one half and return it to the fridge. Place the other half of the dough between two pieces of baking paper and roll out (if it is very stiff, you may need to let it warm up just slightly). Remove top half of the paper and cut out desired shapes with a cookie cutter or a knife. Slide a knife or thin egg lifter under each shape and place on a lined baking sheet. Ball up the scraps of dough, roll it out between the parchment and start again. Once the dough becomes too warm, return it to the fridge and repeat the entire process with the other half of the chilled dough. 5. Place cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes (7 minutes produces a softer, chewier cookie, while 10 minutes produces a crispier one). Remove from oven and let cool on pan. Decorate with the Cashew Cacao Icing if desired (recipe follows). Cashew-Cacao Butter Icing Makes about ¾ cup Ingredients: ½ cup / 65g cashews a few pinches of sea salt 3 Tbsp. / 40g cacao butter, melted 1 ½ Tbsp. raw honey (or liquid sweetener of your choice) ½ vanilla bean, seeds scraped 3 Tbsp. hot water Directions: 1. Soak cashews with sea salt for four hours, or overnight. 2. Drain, rinse and place cashews in the most powerful blender you have along with all other ingredients. Blend on high until as smooth as possible. 3. Pour into a piping bag and store in the fridge until it firms up, about 2 hours, then use. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer. If you do not have a piping bag, you can also use sandwich bag with a teeny corner snipped off, which is what I did! ***If you do not have a specific ingredient, do not worry about it. I used the nutmeg from the spice rack and just regular molasses and the recipe is still so tasty. Use what you have and enjoy. http://www.mynewroots.org/site/2014/12/healthy-holiday-gingerbread/ Yields 20 pancakes
INGREDIENTS
***We sometimes add chopped banana and walnuts when cooking. Another suggestion is to top with almond butter, unsweetened coconut flakes, fruit, nuts and cottage cheese. ***For syrup like toppings try agave syrup, brown rice syrup, honey or pure grade B maple syrup. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/whole-grain-buttermilk-pancakes-103881 |
